Maestro, the first Bitcoin-native financial infrastructure provider, has unveiled Maestro Institutional, a new platform designed to help corporations, asset managers, and Bitcoin custodians optimize their BTC holdings with tailored yield and treasury solutions. Built in partnership with leading global finance players, the platform bridges the gap between institutional requirements and Bitcoin’s on-chain efficiency.

The launch comes at a critical moment. More than $150 billion in Bitcoin currently sits idle on U.S. corporate balance sheets, while an estimated $2 trillion in total BTC supply remains in custody or cold storage. Institutions are increasingly seeking ways to transform these holdings into productive, yield-bearing assets. Yet, traditional finance solutions like ETFs strip away Bitcoin’s 24/7, borderless advantages, while most DeFi protocols fall short of meeting compliance, privacy, and native-settlement needs.
Maestro Institutional addresses these shortcomings by offering compliant, risk-adjusted yield strategies that settle directly on Bitcoin without bridging or wrapping. The platform includes a marketplace of yield products, such as in-kind returns generated from mining rewards, allowing holders to earn sustainable yields while contributing to the security of the Bitcoin network.

“With the new Institutional platform, Maestro meets institutions where they already are,” said Marvin Bertin, CEO of Maestro. “They expect granular controls, clean reporting, and robust security. Many solutions today lack the guarantees and compliance that financial players demand. With permissioned, KYC-controlled vaults and bank-grade safeguards, Maestro enables institutions to unlock yield on Bitcoin without compromise.”
Over the past few years, Maestro has built one of the most resilient infrastructures in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Its technology powers high-volume platforms such as Liquidium (over $500M in transactions), Odin.fun (more than $700M), and SatsTerminal (above $100M), all while maintaining 99.993% uptime. Maestro also operates as a trusted validator for leading Bitcoin Layer 2s including Stacks (market cap $1.2B), Arch, and MIDL, and supports institutional-grade networks such as Canton Network ($3.5 trillion in institutional loans) and Midnight Network.

The introduction of Maestro Institutional marks a significant evolution for the company—from a developer-first infrastructure provider to an institutional-first platform. With this shift, Maestro aims to accelerate the movement of capital markets away from legacy systems and toward a Bitcoin-native financial future.
