The new mandate for corporate treasuries

Today, simply holding cash, money market funds, and short-term government bonds no longer guarantees a treasury can preserve its purchasing power. Treasury managers face an environment of persistent inflation and low, sometimes negative, real yields on traditional "safe-haven" assets.

The shift to adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset was just the beginning. The next step is activating digital assets like ETH and SOL to make them productive. Staking and restaking offer a unique solution: long-term, protocol-driven network rewards, independent from traditional credit markets.

The report provides an actionable guide for the modern treasury, including:

• The "Internet Bond" thesis: Understand how protocol-native staking rewards from networks like Ethereum and Solana offer a sustainable, structurally uncorrelated alternative reward stream, which can be compared to traditional fixed-income products.
• Institutional-grade access: Learn how liquid staking tokens (LSTs) like Liquid Collective's LsETH abstract away the complexity and liquidity risks of staking, providing a compliance-focused, secure, and efficient vehicle for corporate treasuries to stake.
• From staking to infrastructure ownership: Discover how restaking with EigenLayer allows treasuries to use their staked ETH to secure the verifiable cloud, unlocking an additional layer of rewards and participating in the core infrastructure of the new digital economy.
• A practical framework for adoption: Read real-world case studies outlining implementation, then follow a methodical "crawl-walk-run" approach to integrate staking and restaking, including risk assessments, provider selection criteria, and navigating the latest standards.
