Honored to have been an early strategic investor in Acre - so it’s particularly exciting to see milestones like $100M TVL and open access to the Dapp. Who doesn’t want to #CompoundYourBitcoin?
20 Feb 2025
Acre is breaking new ground for Bitcoin holders: $4M raised at a $90M FDV, $100M TVL, and now open access to its dApp. Acre is the first platform designed to help Bitcoin holders securely compound their BTC while maintaining full control.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

The Block ( @TheBlockCo ) recently covered Threshold's Verifiable Bitcoin Accounts.
We are answering the call for Institutional Bitcoin by meeting holders where they are: VBA gives institutions a framework for onchain deployment that preserves segregated custody ownership and defined recovery routes.
Your custody. Your terms.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Ethereum and Bitcoin and crypto prices have fallen sharply in the past 10 days
- $ETH down -40% and Bitcoin -30%
- crypto sentiment is reflexive
- so there is a lot of “rage quitting”
- and many pundits citing problematic structural and unfixablr reasons for the decline
To me, this type of volatility and drawdown seen in 2026 is very much what happens in crypto

ICYMI: Threshold Labs’ Co-founder (@saprophetik) breaks down how tBTC continues to gain momentum through bear markets and periods of Bitcoin price volatility.
10 Dec 2025
Callan Sarre (@saprophetik), Co-Founder & CPO of Threshold Labs, at the Hack Seasons Conference in Singapore, organized by @mpost_io, emphasized that liquidity in a bear market comes from real yield, not token emissions.
For tBTC, liquidity is driven by organic users, a shift we believe will build stronger stability for any cycle.

Bitcoin onchain is entering a new phase where security and custodianship matter more than ever, and tBTC is keen to advance this standard.
In the latest Threshold Blueprint Report, @AleaResearch explores how Bitcoin liquidity can scale across onchain and global financial markets, centered on a case study of tBTC’s trust-minimized infrastructure.

tBTC redemption fee waivers are now live for $T stakers.
1/4 Redemption fees of 20 bps can now be partially or fully offset by staking T on the new Threshold App. This helps BTC–tBTC pricing without changing how the bridge operates.
Minting remains free. Participation is opt-in with predictable parameters.
