Why reporting matters?

Institutions participating in Staking require accurate, detailed, and granular rewards reporting - not just for compliance, but for making informed risk decisions. Without institutional-grade reporting, teams spend hours manually compiling data across block explorers, wrestling with inconsistent formats, and reconciling discrepancies. This time-consuming process creates operational bottlenecks and leaves treasuries vulnerable to reporting errors when assessing validator performance or calculating risk-adjusted returns.

By delivering accurate, verifiable rewards data, we demonstrate our ability to:

  • Generate high returns: Evidenced by high ARR numbers and high uptime on all supported chains
  • Keep assets safe: Evident from an absence of slashing or performance issues

As corporate treasury strategies evolve beyond Bitcoin, a new era is emerging, where crypto assets are not only held but put to work. In our previous piece, Treasury 3.0: How Digital Asset Treasuries Are Turning Crypto into Yield, we explored how companies began expanding from BTC reserves into yield-generating assets like Ethereum and Solana through staking. Now, as more treasuries adopt active on-chain strategies, including restaking, liquid staking, and DeFi integrations, the pressure is mounting to match these innovations with enterprise-grade reporting. Tracking rewards across dozens of chains, validators, and wallets is a strategic imperative. Without robust, auditable reward data, even the most promising digital treasury strategy can become a liability.

Why Reporting Is No Longer Optional

As treasuries shift from passive holding to active reward generation, accurate reporting becomes a key requirement. Every staking reward, restaking payout, or MEV gain constitutes taxable income, potentially with varying fair market values, and protocol-specific nuances. Without a robust system to capture, timestamp, and reconcile these events, finance teams risk producing inaccurate financial statements or triggering red flags with auditors and regulators. The challenge compounds with multichain exposure: fragmented wallets, inconsistent reward structures, and untracked validator commissions all introduce operational noise. High-quality reporting is how treasury teams ensure they’re maximizing yield opportunities, maintaining audit readiness, and preserving institutional trust with stakeholders.

What Makes Treasury-Grade Crypto Reporting?

So what defines treasury-grade crypto reporting? It starts with multi-chain coverage and accurate, granular data: daily attribution of rewards, including staking yields, restaking payouts, and MEV income, mapped to the specific wallet, validator, and protocol that generated them. Institutions also need visibility into validator commissions, service fees, and any slashing events that affect net returns. As many treasuries segment assets by fund, business unit, or jurisdiction, reporting must support wallet-level granularity and entity-specific tagging. Just as important is the format: data must enable seamless integration into back office systems, and ultimately align with GAAP or IFRS standards as digital assets are formally recognized in financial reporting frameworks. Fair market value (FMV) at the time of reward is a critical enhancement that enables compliance with IRS Revenue Ruling 2023-14 and emerging EU tax rules under DAC8. Without these capabilities, crypto reporting falls short of the institutional bar.

Use Case: A Crypto Fund Moving Beyond BTC and ETH

Consider the journey of a typical corporate treasury evolving its digital asset strategy. In the early phase, the fund holds BTC, tracked through simple ledger tools or custodial statements. But as it adds ETH and begins staking ETH, complexity creeps in. Rewards accrue on-chain, commissions may vary, and new wallets emerge for each protocol. By the time the finance team embraces restaking strategies through EigenLayer or allocates to DeFi vaults, its treasury operations involve dozens of addresses, multiple chains, and a constant stream of taxable events. Without a unified reporting system, the result is fragmented data, error-prone manual reconciliation, and an unreliable audit trail. In contrast, Chorus One’s Rewards Reporting tool provides a single source of truth: dashboards tracking staking and reward activity across multiple chains, daily performance summaries, and downloadable reports ready for fund administrators, auditors, and tax professionals. It enables crypto treasuries to scale with confidence, knowing their yield strategies are matched with enterprise-grade transparency.

How Chorus One’s Rewards Reporting Powers Scalable Treasury Operations

Chorus One’s Rewards Reporting is designed to meet the operational and compliance demands of modern crypto treasuries. Its validator monitoring tools allow finance and ops teams to track uptime, reward rate consistency, and restaking activity across 20+ supported protocols, without needing to rely on explorers or raw chain data. Every staking reward is calculated with precision, accounting for validator commissions, service fees, and available rebates to ensure accurate net attribution. And reports can be exported in Excel or CSV formats for seamless integration into existing back off systems ready for accounting systems, fund administrators or auditors.

Conclusion: Your Assets Are Productive. Your Reporting Should Be Too

As crypto treasuries evolve to embrace staking, restaking, and DeFi strategies, the infrastructure that supports them must evolve as well. Sophisticated digital asset strategies demand equally sophisticated reporting tools that deliver precision, transparency, and compliance at scale. With its reporting tool, Chorus One equips institutional teams with the visibility and structure needed to turn raw on-chain activity into actionable financial intelligence. Whether you're optimizing validator performance, preparing for an audit, or reconciling yield across a global treasury, Chorus One ensures that your reporting is as productive and reliable as the assets it supports.   

Treasury 3.0: How Digital Asset Treasuries Are Turning Crypto into Yield
Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATs) are redefining corporate treasury management for the blockchain era. By combining traditional finance principles with decentralized technologies, these companies are turning static crypto holdings into productive assets that generate yield, enhance capital efficiency, and contribute to the security of proof-of-stake (PoS) networks.

Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATs) are redefining corporate treasury management for the blockchain era. By combining traditional finance principles with decentralized technologies, these companies are turning static crypto holdings into productive assets that generate yield, enhance capital efficiency, and contribute to the security of proof-of-stake (PoS) networks.

The opportunity has never been stronger. In the U.S., recent legislative wins, such as the GENIUS Act and the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act, have provided much-needed regulatory certainty. These laws not only define the oversight roles of the SEC and CFTC, but also clarify that staking activities do not automatically create securities liabilities. This removes a major roadblock for enterprises seeking to generate yield through staking.

From Bitcoin-heavy strategies like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), to Ethereum staking specialists like Bit Digital and SharpLink Gaming, to Solana-focused treasuries like DeFi Development Corp, DATs are embracing diverse approaches. Yet the common thread is clear: yield is no longer optional – it’s the core driver of Treasury 3.0.

At Chorus One, we view DATs as pioneers bridging two financial worlds. This article explores how these companies evolved, why yield generation is now imperative, and how secure, compliant staking infrastructure is enabling the next phase of treasury innovation.

A Brief History of DATs

Phase One: Bitcoin as an Inflation Hedge

The modern DAT movement began in 2020 when MicroStrategy invested $250 million in Bitcoin, positioning it as a hedge against inflation and currency depreciation. By July 2025, the company had grown its holdings to 601,550 BTC, worth over $70 billion at then-current prices.

Other corporations followed: Tesla, GameStop, and Japan’s Metaplanet among them, primarily focusing on accumulation and long-term appreciation. While effective in bull markets, these strategies left treasuries exposed to volatility.

Phase Two: Ethereum and Yield-Generating Assets

Ethereum’s September 2022 transition to PoS marked a turning point. Now, holders could earn 3–5% APY simply by staking. Public companies quickly pivoted:

  • Bit Digital divested its Bitcoin to amass 120,000 ETH, all staked.
  • SharpLink Gaming staked 95% of its 360,807 ETH, generating steady rewards and fueling a 400% stock price increase.
  • BitMine Immersion Technologies rebranded from a mining operation to an Ethereum staking leader with 567,000 ETH.

By mid-2025, public companies held 2.33 million ETH worth $8.83 billion.

Phase Three: Treasury 3.0 – Multi-Layer Yield Strategies

Today, leading DATs go beyond vanilla staking. They layer liquid staking, restaking, and DeFi integrations to compound returns:

  • Vanilla staking: 3–8% APY
  • Liquid staking (e.g., stETH, mSOL): +~3% APY with liquidity
  • Restaking (e.g., EigenLayer AVSs): +1–3% APY
  • DeFi deployments (e.g., Aave lending): +1–6% APY

Combined, these strategies can yield 6–10% or more, turning treasuries into dynamic revenue engines.

Autonity Goes Live: A Milestone for Decentralized Derivatives and Chorus One Ventures
We’re thrilled to congratulate Autonity on its mainnet launch!
August 12, 2025

We’re thrilled to congratulate Autonity on its mainnet launch, a major step forward in the evolution of decentralized finance infrastructure. As one of the earliest institutional supporters of Autonity, Chorus One is proud to back this groundbreaking Layer 1 blockchain through both strategic investment and hands-on validator participation.

Autonity is not just another EVM-compatible chain. It’s the first Layer 1 purpose-built for decentralized derivatives clearing, introducing an entirely new design space for programmable risk transfer. Developed by Clearmatics, a pioneer in the application of blockchain to financial instruments, Autonity represents a bold vision: building infrastructure that expands the universe of tradable risk far beyond the narrow boundaries of crypto speculation.

A New Kind of Network Purpose-Built from the Ground Up

At its core, Autonity addresses a fundamental gap in today’s DeFi landscape: the lack of robust infrastructure for derivatives that can track real-world risks — from macroeconomic indicators like inflation to environmental metrics like global temperatures. Traditional finance fails to offer instruments for many of these exposures, while current DeFi platforms are mostly confined to crypto-native assets, plagued by liquidity fragmentation and inefficiencies.

Autonity’s solution is elegant and deeply considered. By decoupling trading venues from the clearing layer via its Autonomous Futures Protocol (AFP), Autonity creates a unified, permissionless clearinghouse for diverse risk markets. Its architecture allows forecast contracts — a new class of fully on-chain derivatives that follow public time series data — to be created, traded, and settled efficiently, opening doors for innovation in quant finance, machine learning, and institutional risk hedging.

Autonity features:

  • EVM compatibility with 1-second block times and Tendermint BFT consensus;
  • A delegated proof-of-stake system capped at 100 validators;
  • A dual-token design with:
    • ATN for on-chain derivatives collateral;
    • NTN for securing the network via staking;
    • LNTN, a liquid staking representation to maximize capital efficiency.
  • Robust oracle infrastructure, with native validator-powered price feeds;
  • Built-in accountability protocols to enhance data integrity and trust.

These primitives work together to provide a flexible, secure, and scalable foundation for derivative instruments that can hedge or speculate on almost anything — not just tokens, but real-world metrics.

Chorus One’s Role in the Journey

We’ve been closely involved with Autonity’s development from its earliest stages. As a strategic validator partner, Chorus One participated in over six testnets, helping to validate network performance, test slashing mechanisms, and refine the protocol’s consensus and oracle systems.

Autonity is also a Chorus One Ventures portfolio company. We believe that enabling programmable, decentralized markets for any measurable risk factor is not only the next step in the evolution of DeFi, but also a fundamental leap forward in how we structure global financial systems.

From concept to code to mainnet, the Autonity team has executed with precision, vision, and purpose. As investors and infrastructure partners, we at Chorus One are honored to have supported this journey, and we’re incredibly excited to see what comes next.
