PANews reported on August 28 that Bitcoin's native zkRollup network GOAT Network has gradually accumulated 34 BTC as a long-term strategic reserve over the past year and officially launched its ecological pilot fund to support protocol liquidity, community incentives and developer contributions.

This marks the first time a Bitcoin Layer 2 network has allocated its own BTC reserves for ecosystem incentives, with over 2 BTC already allocated for community rewards. GOAT plans to launch a larger ecosystem development fund in Q4 2025 to drive sustainable innovation and growth in Bitcoin adoption.
