Kevin Liu outlined tiered Bitcoin yield products across risk profiles for investors seeking returns without sacrificing security.
GOAT Network CEO Kevin Liu told TheStreet Roundtable that the platform lets holders earn returns on Bitcoin while maintaining security and control. “We are native to Bitcoin, so we inherit security and also provide sustainable yield”. The initiative targets institutions and large holders who prefer cold storage yet seek modest returns.
Liu noted rising interest in using Bitcoin reserves for national development and inflation defence. “I think this is a seminal signal that the Bitcoin reserve can help the country develop later in fighting inflation and builds on a healthy, very long future,” he said.
This frames Bitcoin as not only a store of value but also an asset capable of generating yield for sovereign or large-scale portfolios. GOAT Network aims to position Bitcoin reserves as active assets rather than idle holdings.
Diverse product tiers
Liu explained GOAT Network offers multiple products to match varying risk tolerances. “If you want to move your assets to a layer which is secure, maybe we can have a higher, let’s say 5% yield if you take more risk. If you want to borrow or mint stablecoin based on Bitcoin, maybe you can have 10%”.
The lowest-risk option yields minimal returns, aligning with conservative mandates, while higher tiers offer mid-single-digit to low-double-digit returns for those comfortable with incremental risk.
Current offerings include a three-month fixed-term deposit targeting around 2% yield by allocating Bitcoin into established DeFi protocols; a sequencer-bridge option delivering roughly 10% for assets moved on-chain; and a vault yielding about 5% for certain wrapped Bitcoin versions. A higher-risk lending product offers variable returns. All products prioritize preserving holders’ keys and security.
Liu emphasized keeping Bitcoin active in circulation to support network security and ecosystem incentives. “Bitcoin needs to move in circulation to actually activate the network to provide security for the whole ecosystem”.
