Re7 Capital Announces Launch of Institutional BTC Yield Strategy
London, September 2025 — Re7 Capital, one of the world’s most active institutional-grade DeFi liquidity providers, in collaboration with Starknet, today announced the launch of the Re7 BTC Yield Strategy. The strategy is designed to make Bitcoin a productive asset for institutional allocators through a market-neutral strategy that combines BTC options premia harvesting with tactical BTC DeFi yield opportunities, including native BTC staking on Starknet.
Bitcoin has cemented its position as the best-performing asset class of the past decade, with record ETF inflows and rising institutional adoption validating its role as a core portfolio component. Yet, most allocators continue to hold BTC passively, missing out on yield potential. The Re7 BTC Yield Strategy addresses this gap by enabling BTC accumulation, transforming Bitcoin from a static store of value into a yield-bearing institutional asset.
Strong Early Demand
Ahead of the official launch, Re7 has already secured commitments close to 2,000 BTC from a select group of allocators. This early momentum reflects the appetite among institutions for safe and reliable ways to compound their Bitcoin holdings.
The Detailed Strategy
The strategy is denominated in BTC and built to generate returns across market conditions while minimizing drawdowns. Yield is derived from two primary sources:
- BTC Options: harvesting volatility premia through disciplined derivatives trading.
- BTC DeFi Yield: earning protocol-level rewards and fees through liquidity provision, staking, and special opportunities on Starknet and other carefully curated DeFi platforms.
Re7 places risk management at the core of its approach. With over 4 years of consistent positive track record, the strategy relies on a multi-layered proprietary framework that has been tested across several market cycles.
Leadership Commentary
“BTC has become a core institutional asset, but holding it passively leaves significant opportunity on the table,” said Evgeny Gokhberg, Founder & CIO of Re7 Capital. “With this strategy we are enabling allocators to compound their Bitcoin holdings through a proven market-neutral strategy that blends derivatives with carefully curated DeFi yield. Partnering with Starknet allows us to integrate BTC-native staking and composability, ensuring our investors access yield in a secure and scalable environment.”
A representative from Starknet added: “Starknet was built to support applications that needed scale, security, and composability. Collaborating with Re7 Capital on the BTC Yield Strategy demonstrates how institutional-grade strategies can thrive on Starknet, unlocking the next chapter of Bitcoin’s role in DeFi.”
