Frequently Asked Questions About Staking Bitcoin (BTC)

What are Bitcoin (BTC) staking rewards, and how can I earn them?
Bitcoin does not offer traditional staking rewards like proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies. Instead, you can earn rewards by lending your Bitcoin on various platforms that pay interest on your deposits.

Rates can vary significantly across platforms, so it is essential to research options such as YouHodler and Aave to maximize your potential earnings on your Bitcoin holdings.
