**[PRESS RELEASE – New York, United States of America, April 23rd, 2026]**
Threshold Network today announced **Verifiable Bitcoin Accounts (VBA)**, a new framework for institutional Bitcoin deployment built on the same signer infrastructure that has operated with Bitcoin for six years, processed over $5 billion in cumulative volume, and sustained zero losses.
Verifiable Bitcoin Accounts are a Bitcoin Script and PSBT-based account framework for institutional Bitcoin deployment. They define preauthorized spending paths, signer combinations, timelocks, and recovery routes at account setup, allowing allocators to use Bitcoin-backed onchain strategies while preserving segregated custody workflows and verifiable settlement paths.
**Your Bitcoin, Your Custody**
BTC remains with the holder’s existing custody arrangement. VBA is compatible with Qualified Custodians such as Anchorage and Fireblocks Trust, MPC-based custody networks, and self-custody setups. No title transfer outside of their existing custody. Capital is held in a segregated account, not pooled, and is identifiable at all times. The custody relationship that the allocator already maintains governs every deployed position.
**Built for Bitcoin Finance**
Institutional Bitcoin lending is accelerating toward a projected $90B by end-of-2026¹, driven by stablecoin growth that reached $308B in early 2026 and is on track to exceed $1T². While major platforms are building proprietary lending stacks to capture the demand, Verifiable Bitcoin Accounts turn any existing custody – Qualified Custodian, MPC network, or self-custody – into institutional-grade lending infrastructure.
Onchain Bitcoin lending and yield markets depend on collateral that resolves reliably across liquidation, maturity, and redemption. **Verifiable Bitcoin Accounts are built for that operational reality,** with every settlement route agreed at setup and enforced in Bitcoin Script.
For allocators deploying Bitcoin into onchain lending at scale, this is the guarantee that makes the product usable.
