Hemi unleashes BTC, allowing institutional players and everyone else to deploy productive strategies that extend far beyond passive storage.

Bitcoin is the world’s hottest asset, and now institutional treasuries are moving to secure their share. Public companies, ETFs, and corporate balance sheets are rapidly accumulating BTC, positioning it as digital gold, a truly hardened form of currency backed by cryptographic proof and the world’s more robust decentralized network.

Popular market aggregators, like Coingecko, show that over $166 billion in BTC is already locked away in institutional reserves across at least 115 organizations. As such, a fresh wave of Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) is reshaping supply dynamics and creating the conditions for a crunch that is fueling renewed market momentum.

But once DATs get Bitcoin, what comes next?

Hemi Is Where Bitcoin Continues To Grow

When holders want their BTC to grow, Hemi is the place they turn. After all, taking custody of BTC is only half the battle; when BTC is put to work, its value as a productive asset class comes full circle. 

This includes yield-bearing instruments, structured products, lending markets, liquidity provisioning, and the kind of composable financial activity that unlocks real capital efficiency. 

Institutions looking at Bitcoin need more than the upside of mere exposure; they need yield-earning instruments that earn without diluting the underlying base. Hemi delivers this with a growing ecosystem that has already attracted over $1.2 billion in TVL (must be confirmed as we’ve seen fluctuations etc, DeFiLlama noise blahblah). Leverage BTC-backed strategies on Spectra with its permissionless interest rate marketplace with fixed-rate returns and leveraged yield strategies. Satori offers a perpetual DEX with vault-based returns and long or short positions on BTC and ETH. Relay provides a cross-chain settlement layer that connects Bitcoin and Ethereum with fast, low-cost execution. LendOS delivers flexible decentralized lending solutions designed for both retail and DeFi-native users.

Together, these integrations and many others transform Bitcoin from a reserve asset into an engine for institutional-grade yield.

Built By Veterans For the Future of Finance

Hemi excels on three fronts. The protocol was architected by founders with deep roots in both institutional finance and crypto, possessed of the credibility and know-how to link the blockchain ecosystems of Ethereum and Bitcoin successfully. Hemi’s technology delivers enterprise-grade infrastructure, with security rooted in Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work, and developer-friendly tools that make the network resilient and scalable. Finally, Hemi’s momentum is undeniable. Following a $15 million pre-TGE raise and the successful launch of $HEMI, the network continues to rapidly expand its ecosystem of partners as it champions Bitcoin-integrated DeFi.
