BTC0 brings Bitcoin into financial applications on the Canton Network. Its reserve model pairs every token with one BTC held in institutional custody. BTC0 moves between supported Canton applications while the underlying Bitcoin remains on the Bitcoin network.
Each BTC0 is backed by one BTC held in reserve. Tokens are issued against confirmed deposits, keeping the outstanding supply within the underlying BTC reserves.
BTC0 is issued directly on Canton, bringing a BTC-backed asset into financial applications with transaction privacy, atomic settlement, and interoperability.
Eligible participants can redeem BTC0 for the corresponding amount of Bitcoin through the issuer, subject to applicable checks, fees, and redemption terms.
BTC reserves are held with Copper Markets (US), Inc., an SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA member. Its MPC-based custody infrastructure supports approval policies and segregation of duties.
Chainlink Proof of Reserve integration is planned to support monitoring of BTC reserves against outstanding BTC0 supply, with reserve data and update timestamps to help counterparties assess backing.
BTC0 is minted only after the corresponding BTC deposits are confirmed. On redemption, tokens are burned before BTC is released from custody, linking token issuance and redemption to reserve movements.

Financial application
BTC0 is a Bitcoin-backed token on the Canton Network. It represents BTC held in reserve and is designed for use in supported trading, collateral, and settlement applications.
The BTC reserves are held with Copper on the Bitcoin network. Holding BTC0 means holding the corresponding token on Canton; it does not give the holder direct control of the reserve wallets.
The reserves page presents BTC reserve data, outstanding BTC0 supply, reserve coverage, and update timestamps. Chainlink Proof of Reserve provides backing data for verification and monitoring. Source information and the calculation methodology are available alongside the reported figures.
Submit a redemption request specifying the BTC0 amount and destination Bitcoin address, then transfer the tokens as instructed. Once the transfer is confirmed and applicable checks are complete, the BTC0 is burned and the corresponding BTC is released. Processing includes custody operations and Bitcoin network confirmations.
