Zurich, Switzerland, January 14th, 2026, Chainwire
GooMoney, the Bitcoin-backed on-chain treasury protocol focused on generating BTC-denominated yield, announced that it has secured strategic commitments totaling 200 BTC ($19.3 million) while successfully completing Stage 1 of its Fair Launch.
100 BTC has already been deposited on-chain, with the remaining capital committed by strategic partners to be deployed in tranches following GooMoney’s public launch.
Strategic participants include Lorenzo and B² Network, a Bitcoin-native infrastructure project developing settlement and yield layers for AI and decentralized finance. The early commitments position GooMoney among the top Bitcoin-focused DeFi protocols seeking to introduce yield and treasury growth without reliance on USD-based standards.
“Our view is that global capital should gradually move away from fiat-denominated benchmarks,” said GooMoney's co-founder Lee Kay. “Bitcoin provides a neutral, scarce unit of account, and GooMoney is designed to help activate BTC as a productive reserve asset rather than leaving it idle.”
GooMoney aims to expand its treasury to 1,000 BTC ($95 million) following launch, with the milestone targeted for Q1 2026, subject to market conditions. The protocol launch is imminent, with the current target set for the end of January.
A Decentralized, Bitcoin-Backed Treasury Model
GooMoney functions as a decentralized on-chain Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), building a treasury backed by Bitcoin and issuing $GOO, a token that is always backed by at least one satoshi. This design introduces a true BTC floor price, ensuring that $GOO maintains intrinsic value while putting Bitcoin to productive use on the blockchain.
The protocol combines bonding mechanisms, yield aggregation, and systematic treasury management in an effort to make Bitcoin a productive reserve asset. The team refers to this framework as the Bitcoin Yield Standard, a model designed to enable growth measured directly in BTC rather than USD terms.
Stage 2 Fair Launch Opens January 21
Participants will be able to acquire $sGOO at a fixed issuance rate equivalent to a ~70% discount relative to the token generation event (TGE) reference price of 4 satoshis per $GOO. A refund period will also be available to all participants prior to protocol go-live.
$sGOO holders will participate directly in GooMoney’s BTC-denominated yield distribution and long-term treasury growth model from the get-go.
You can secure your spot in Stage 2 by heading over to the sale page and connecting a wallet with a balance of at least 0.001 BTC.
Growth and Stability Phases
During its Growth Phase, GooMoney will offer discounted bonds relative to market pricing, capturing a premium that is distributed to $sGOO stakers as yield, reinforcing a flywheel in which attractive returns draw new participants and accelerate treasury expansion.
As the treasury scales, the protocol transitions into a Stability Phase, focusing on sustainable yield generation through diversified Bitcoin strategies intended to strengthen BTC backing per token over time.
