Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network Launches $1 Billion Thunderbolt Station

The Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network, led by experienced Bitcoin core developers and the Nubit team, has launched the Thunderbolt Station reservation channel on July 2. This initiative introduces $tsUSD certificates, allowing institutional and qualified participants to secure network construction quotas and share in mainnet revenue. The rollout is planned in three stages, with current options enabling users to lock future quotas using $tsUSD certificates and pay with BTC, USD1 stablecoin, or Taproot inscription assets such as BRC-20 and Runes. This marks a groundbreaking use of native Bitcoin assets within the mainnet infrastructure.

Industry insiders have reported significant interest from various institutions, family offices, and investment firms, with expectations that cumulative commitments in the first round could exceed $1 billion. Concurrently, the developer community is focusing on innovations around the Thunderbolt Station, including composite asset frameworks, on-chain liquidity pools, and new native Bitcoin structured products. This development indicates a major step towards a collaborative and open infrastructure phase within the Bitcoin Thunderbolt ecosystem.

The Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network, the only Bitcoin mainnet protocol supporting native acceleration and stablecoin settlements, has processed over 4 million on-chain transactions in just two months, attracting more than 267,000 independent users. Notably, the Trump family’s crypto project WLFI integrated its USD1 stablecoin into the network, representing one of the earliest adoptions of native settlement assets.

Earlier disclosures highlighted the network’s implementation of UTXO Bundling and OP_CAT instructions via a mainnet soft fork. These upgrades facilitate native asset issuance and high-frequency transaction verification, enhancing on-chain processing efficiency by 1,000 to 2,000 times compared to the Bitcoin mainchain. With over 50 projects applying to the Bitcoin Alpha task system’s first phase, the Bitcoin Thunderbolt network’s accelerated payment and programming capabilities are set to drive the most substantial expansion in the Bitcoin ecosystem in over a decade.
