Since PoX-5 (cycle 141) you stake STX through a signer-manager, for 1 to 96 cycles, with no minimum per staker; a signer-manager needs 50K STX staked to it in total to earn. Rewards arrive as sBTC by default (BTC on request), after Bitcoin bonds and a 15% protocol reserve. STX-only stakes can be ended outside the prepare phase and unlock at the next cycle. Liquid staking (like StackingDAO's stSTX) is another route. Source: Stacks docs.

BTC paid by miners per cycle
* The current cycle, so far. Under PoX-5 that BTC pays Bitcoin bonds first, then 85% of the rest goes to STX stakers and 15% to the reserve. Source: Hiro. More on the Network page

Value locked on Stacks per protocol, liquid staking included · DefiLlama. The Stacks total on the home page leaves liquid staking out, as DefiLlama does, since those tokens are often deposited again in lending.
