Solver performance.
Flow concentrated on the Ethereum leg. The BTC → WBTC route accounted for 60% of weekly volume and the return WBTC → BTC route took most of the remainder, leaving the Base-side pairs marginal; 99.2% of settlement cleared through Ethereum.
A single week's yield annualizes from a thin sample, so it is best read against trend rather than as the product's rate of return. The week's settlement yield ran above its trailing pace, but on a trailing basis net yield stands at 33.59% BTC APY — keeping realized return within its recent range even as weekly volume set a fresh high.

About.
About this report. The Bitcoin Solver provides settlement liquidity for cross-chain Bitcoin flow, earning a spread on each completed settlement. Every figure here is a realized, BTC-denominated result, net of fees — not a quoted or projected rate. Because a single week is a small sample, the trailing four-week and since-inception figures are the more reliable guide to expected performance. This edition was published retrospectively at the launch of the Weekly Report; all figures are computed as of the week shown.

The Solver is one of Maestro Institutional's curated BTC yield vaults — a permissioned, compliant strategy that earns by meeting cross-chain Bitcoin demand, taking deposits and paying distributions in native BTC. Qualified investors can review the terms and live performance on the vault page.
