I just came across a project that uses Bitcoin as a bond to its protocol.
In 2025, the Bitcoin Policy Institute proposed that the US Treasury issue bonds backed by Bitcoin, with other assets as collateral.
Even though the BitBonds are not adopted, they are very interesting and crucial for Bitcoin as an asset in my opinion, to get onto the US balance sheet and prove that Bitcoin and structured debt instruments are compatible and potentially complementary.
Protocols that use Bitcoin as money and settlement are now using the BitBonds mechanism as Protocol Bonds onchain to produce Bitcoin Yield to Bitcoin holders in a purely self-custodial way. OP_CLTV is used to timelock BTC on the Bitcoin mainnet for a bonding period of 25,200 Bitcoin blocks (~6 months).
I find this interesting and I want to know what you think about blockchain protocols using Bitcoin as Protocol Bonds now.
