Saturn Raises $2 Million Seed Investment Round

Spartan Group Leads Latest Round

$BTC-focused yield platform @saturn_credit has closed a $2 million seed funding round, adding institutional firepower as it pushes to build a Bitcoin-native credit and stablecoin infrastructure. The round was led by @TheSpartanGroup, with participation from Anchorage Digital and Susquehanna Crypto.

The funds raised will be used for protocol security and compliance, and will also support key integrations and partnerships. Saturn's ecosystem currently has more than $125 million in total value locked and has integrated with DeFi protocols including Morpho, Pendle, Strata Markets, and Stacks.

What Saturn Is Building

The protocol is building a decentralized application layer on Bitcoin, introducing the USDat stablecoin and the sUSDat real-world asset (RWA) token. USDat is a non-yielding stablecoin backed by tokenized U.S. Treasuries, pegged 1:1 to USDC, while sUSDat is an ERC-4626 yield-bearing vault that accrues STRC dividends, with a 3 to 7 day exit queue. The infrastructure is designed to unlock access to Strategy's tokenized credit ($STRC) for an estimated 500 million global stablecoin users operating outside the U.S. and EEA.

The seed round follows an earlier fundraise in January 2026. Saturn raised $800,000 from @yzilabs (EASY Residency Season 2), Sora Ventures, and prominent crypto angels, with @yzilabs being the venture vehicle associated with @cz_binance. YZi Labs rebranded from being Binance's venture capital arm to Zhao's family office shortly after his release from prison. The back-to-back fundraises signal growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin-based yield infrastructure as a credible segment of the DeFi market.
