BTCS SA (NewConnect: BTF), Europe’s largest Digital Asset Treasury Company (DATCO), today announced that it has entered into a strategic agreement with ZIGChain, the purpose-built Layer-1 blockchain for institutional wealth generation, to operate a dedicated ZIGChain validator. The validator is now live on testnet, with mainnet activation scheduled in the coming weeks.
This partnership marks a significant milestone for BTCS as it continues to expand its Active Treasury model, which goes beyond passive digital asset holding by deploying assets into staking, validator operations, and tokenized real-world asset (RWA) strategies. Through its integration with ZIGChain’s infrastructure, BTCS expands the capabilities of its multi-asset yield engine and supports the development of compliant, institution-focused blockchain networks.
“At BTCS, our vision is to lead the evolution from passive digital asset exposure to active, infrastructure-level participation,” said Wojciech Kaszycki, Chief Strategy Officer at BTCS. “Operating a validator on ZIGChain is a natural extension of our strategy. ZIGChain represents precisely the kind of ecosystem we believe will define the next decade — where real-world assets, yield, and institutional discipline converge. We are excited to take this step and to deepen our engagement with the ZIGChain community.”
ZIGChain has emerged as one of the most compelling Layer-1s for institutional adoption, offering a high-performance architecture optimized for tokenized RWAs, compliant DeFi, and large-scale wealth-generation applications. With a rapidly growing ecosystem of asset managers, fintechs, tokenization platforms, and now publicly listed treasuries building on it, ZIGChain is shaping a new category of blockchain infrastructure designed for regulated value creation.
“BTCS joining the ZIGChain validator set is an important signal for the entire ecosystem,” said Abdul Rafay Gadit, Co-Founder of ZIGChain. “They are pioneering what a modern digital treasury should look like — active, diversified, and directly participating in the blockchain networks it relies on. Their integration validates ZIGChain as the chain of choice for institutions seeking real yield, real-world assets, and a compliant growth environment.”
As BTCS progresses toward its upcoming Series G capital raise, the company’s increasing participation in validator operations reflects its long-term commitment to building a productive, multi-asset treasury capable of generating sustainable on-chain yield. The ZIGChain validator is the first of several infrastructure-level initiatives planned as part of BTCS’s broader growth strategy.
