PANews reported on December 22 that the Core Foundation released its preliminary roadmap for 2026, clearly defining "revenue-driven CORE buybacks" as its core objective. The roadmap revolves around the BTCFi ecosystem, systematically transforming Bitcoin activity into sustainable revenue through modules such as Bitcoin staking yields, Asset Management Protocol (AMP), BTC LST, double-staking markets, SatPay (a new type of bank), ETFs/ETPs, DAT, and enterprise-level solutions, with the revenue continuously flowing back to CORE buybacks.

The Core Foundation emphasizes that the key shift in 2026 is from "displaying returns" to "monetizing returns," reducing reliance on token inflation while driving CORE to become the core value-carrying asset in the BTCFi growth cycle.
