Zhang San's Journey After 10 Years in Prison: How I Reclaimed My Financial Pinnacle with 20,000 BTC

Ten years ago, I was imprisoned for fighting, leaving behind my only 'inheritance'—20,000 bitcoins.

After ten years in prison, BTC rose from $300 to $100,000, and I unexpectedly became the 'Wang Sicong of the crypto world.' But after some reflection, I realized that having BTC alone does not equate to financial freedom. The new era of Bitcoin is no longer just about 'holding and waiting for a price increase,' but has entered a new phase of 'yield + compliance + financial integration.'

So, I found SOLV Protocol, a true bridge that brings Bitcoin into the realm of real-world finance.

First Stop: 3.9% Annual Yield, I Put BTC into Binance On-Chain Yield

When I just got out of prison, I didn’t trust any exchanges until I saw Binance directly listing SOLV as a BTC yield management partner. I decided to give it a try.

By staking BTC in Binance Earn and accessing on-chain strategies through Solv, I could earn an annual yield of 3.9% in just one year. More importantly: the yield comes from real RWA assets, not from mining subsidies or platform incentives.

On the day the first yield hit my account, I realized: I wasn’t trading coins; I was managing capital.

Second Stop: My Bitcoin Legally Enters the Middle Eastern Sovereign Capital Pool for the First Time

I read that SolvBTC.Core received halal certification from Amanie Advisors, meaning my 20,000 BTC has finally been legalized worldwide.

It's worth noting that the total amount of Middle Eastern sovereign funds exceeds $50 trillion, and previously, BTC couldn't enter legally. Solv has broken down this barrier, showing that BTC can become a truly global asset, and I am standing at the entrance of this door.

Third Stop: Can Bitcoin Also Earn Wall Street Interest? I Believe It

Solv integrated the yield streams from BlackRock's BUIDL fund and Hamilton Lane's SCOPE fund into the BTC treasury. This is not just a DeFi fantasy; it's real-world money.

This makes my Bitcoin not just a digital asset but an asset that can be 'linked to traditional bonds'—RWA gives my BTC cash flow.

Fourth Stop: Releasing Liquidity on Solana, Bitcoin Can Also Combine DeFi Strategies

I also invested a portion of BTC into Solana.
