The GOAT network has formalized its strategic moves to support the ecosystem.
Over the past year, it has gradually accumulated 34 BTC as reserve funds, and now it is unveiling this and launching a pilot fund.
This fund will be utilized as core funding for network growth, including liquidity incentives, community rewards, and developer support.
Notably, instead of using its own token, it has directly injected native BTC into the incentives.
This is the first case among Bitcoin Layer 2 projects, presenting a sustainable framework that avoids volatility and inflation issues.
So far, more than 2 BTC has already been used for community rewards, separate from rewards generated by on-chain activities.
In the future, a large-scale ecosystem development fund (amounting to tens of millions of dollars) will be launched in Q4 2025, including public grant applications, milestone-based support, and long-term rewards for developers.
With the ETF launch and institutional funds flowing in, BTC is gaining attention again, and the GOAT network, which can provide "native BTC returns," is in a differentiated position.
It is focusing on building long-term infrastructure rather than short-term trends, showing that it is ready to lead the next wave of the Bitcoin economy.

GOAT Network has launched a new 34 BTC Pilot Fund to support liquidity incentives, and the growth of our community.
This marks the first time a Bitcoin Layer 2 network has committed its own BTC treasury to ecosystem incentives.
While other Bitcoin ecosystem projects have at times emitted their own tokens, they have not delivered native BTC yield — a must for the largest and most successful liquidity providers.
Committing our own BTC treasury demonstrates a commitment to sustainable ecosystem building that’s unique in the Bitcoin Layer 2 space.
This BTC Pilot Fund is also a warmup before the launch of our GOAT Network Ecosystem Development Fund, which will go live in Q4 2025, at a starting value in the tens of millions.
