Maestro, a financial infrastructure platform built on Bitcoin, has launched a sophisticated solution designed to promote the adoption of this leading digital currency within decentralized finance.
Overview
The Bitcoin-centric platform Maestro is expanding its services as a provider of BTC yield products tailored for institutional investors. The introduction of Maestro Institutional focuses on utilizing Bitcoin as collateral in capital markets.
Maestro Institutional serves as a treasury financial platform that facilitates the use of Bitcoin as an asset for collateralization in the crypto market. This allows institutions to engage with capital markets without facing issues related to asset liquidation.
According to a press release from Maestro, corporations, asset managers, and custodians can now enhance their BTC holdings through tailored yield and treasury solutions. The platform will incorporate some leading Bitcoin finance services to provide enterprise-level yield products.
“With our new Institutional platform, Maestro aligns with institutions’ existing needs. They require detailed controls, transparent reporting, and strong security measures. Many current solutions fall short in terms of guarantees and compliance expected by financial entities,” stated Marvin Bertin, CEO of Maestro. “Our permissioned vaults controlled by KYC protocols along with bank-grade operational safeguards empower institutions to generate yields on Bitcoin without any compromises.”

Pursuing Yield from Idle Bitcoins
The increasing presence of Bitcoin (BTC) within the decentralized finance sector enables institutions to access over $150 billion worth of dormant BTC.
A significant portion of this idle cryptocurrency remains on corporate balance sheets due in part to Wall Street’s growing investment into major cryptocurrencies via digital asset treasury platforms. Lombard, Solv, and Babylon are among the prominent ecosystem providers operating within this BTCfi space.
Importantly, around $2 trillion out of the total supply of Bitcoin is held in custody or cold storage amid rising institutional demand. Institutions are progressively recognizing Bitcoin as an income-generating asset while seeking opportunities beyond conventional financial instruments like exchange-traded funds.
Maestro intends to deliver a compliant framework for risk-adjusted yield strategies where all offerings facilitate direct settlement using Bitcoins—eliminating any need for bridging or wrapping assets.
