Polkadot Network Bitcoin Reserve

Hello Threshold Community!

I’m Baha, a recent graduate of the in-person Polkadot Blockchain Academy and believer in the multi-chain future. During my time at PBA, I developed the knowledge and confidence to begin participating in our own governance system and am bringing forth a proposal to create a Bitcoin Reserve for the Polkadot Ecosystem.

While researching the various options available, I found tBTC being adopted as the BTC of choice within the Polkadot ecosystem for many good reasons and will be using it in my proposal.

Found here, I am proposing to invest 500,000 DOT into tBTC over the course of a year using the Hydration protocol’s DCA feature, during which small chunks of tBTC will be continuously added as liquidity to the Hydration Omnipool in order to support DeFi incentives.

I will be presenting this proposal to the Polkadot community for discussion shorty, but wanted to make sure all the networks involved were aware of it first.

Please feel free to reach out with your comments and concerns. I also invite you to join our community discourse on the subject, and will provide links when available.

We’re fans of the Hydration protocol and look forward to bringing more Bitcoin liquidity to Polkadot :handshake:

Hello @jump_BAHA_jump
Welcome to Threshold

Below is a URL to a proposal I have put to Nexus Mutual DAO suggesting to convert half of their BTC Capital Pool assets to tBTC. It may be useful for your proposal to Polkadot
