Earn Up to 8% Annually on Bitcoin With Active Rewards

Validated Individual Expert

Today we’re introducing a new way to earn up to 8% annually on your Bitcoin (BTC): Active Rewards.

For those who have a market view on where the price of Bitcoin will go, Active Rewards can be used to maximize your potential rewards at up to 10x the rate of Passive Rewards (formerly “Rewards”).

What is Active Rewards?

Active Rewards provides a way for you to earn on your Bitcoin in an otherwise down or flat market. Specifically, it lets you subscribe to a strategy to earn rewards if you believe the price of Bitcoin won’t go up significantly in the next week.

It could offer a significantly higher rewards rate on Bitcoin than Passive Rewards (up to 8% annually vs up to 0.65% annually, at current rates as of April 2023.).

How does it work?

Every week, a new Active Rewards strategy is made available to all Active Rewards customers that sets a trigger price for Bitcoin that is higher than the current market price. If you believe the price will be under the trigger price at the end of the week, subscribe to the strategy and earn an annual rewards rate on your Bitcoin, paid out weekly on Fridays at 8am UTC.

The trigger price and the rewards rate are set at the start of each weekly cycle and if you don’t withdraw your funds you’ll automatically be rolled into the strategy for the following week.

Since the specific trigger price changes each week, let’s take a look at some scenarios using the following values:

  • Currency: Bitcoin
  • Duration: 1 Week
  • Annual rate: 8%
  • Current price: $20,383
  • Trigger price: $22,000

Scenario 1 — Price of Bitcoin is at or lower than the trigger price at the end of the week

If the price of Bitcoin ends the week at or lower than the trigger price, you’ll receive your rewards for the week and your Bitcoin will be returned to you valued at the market price.

So in the scenario depicted below, if you start the week by depositing 1 Bitcoin in Active Rewards, you’d end the week with 1.00147705 which would then be re-subscribed to earn rewards for the following week.

Scenario 2 — Price of Bitcoin is higher than the trigger price at the end of the week

If the price of Bitcoin ends the week higher than the trigger price, you’ll still receive your rewards for the week but your Bitcoin will be returned to you valued at the trigger price, resulting in a reduction in your Bitcoin-denominated balance.

So in the scenario depicted below, you’d start the week with 1 Bitcoin, at the end of the week you’d receive your 0.00147705 Bitcoin reward, but because the price of Bitcoin went over the trigger price your Bitcoin balance would go down from 1 to 0.88147705 Bitcoin. Thus, you’d have a balance of 0.88147705 Bitcoin which would be re-subscribed to earn rewards for the following week.

What are the risks?

While Active Rewards offers compelling weekly rewards on your Bitcoin, weekly market movements above the listed trigger price can reduce your Bitcoin-denominated balance.

How to get started

You can get started by transferring as little as $1 in Bitcoin to an Active Rewards Account:

  1. Log in to your Blockchain.com Wallet using a web browser or a mobile device.
  2. Click Earn in the navigation bar.

  • Economic Daily: 'Patience' is Becoming the Most Scarce and Urgent Demand in the Market

    On September 27, Economic Daily published an article stating that patience is not only a friend of time but also the soil for innovation. Technological innovation inherently features high investment, high risk, and long cycles. Who has the capability to support this expedition in scientific innovation? Tian Xuan, Dean of the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University, provides the answer in his book 'Patient Capital: Building a New Ecology of Long-term Investment'—patient capital. The characteristic of patient capital lies in its pursuit of long-term investment horizons and strategic stability, rather than short-term financial returns. As global economic uncertainty rises and China’s economy stands at a critical juncture of transitioning from factor-driven to innovation-driven growth, the concept of 'patience' is becoming the most scarce and urgent demand in the market. At the macro level, patient capital can effectively smooth short-term market fluctuations and enhance overall market confidence and resilience through long-term asset holding and rational decision-making, while creating a stable financial environment for the implementation of medium- to long-term economic and industrial policies by the state. At the micro level, patient capital can cover the entire development cycle of technological innovation, providing a tolerant space for trial and error in technology, and shifting resources from short-term market projects to long-term innovation projects. Furthermore, the participation of patient capital can send positive signals to the outside world, reduce information asymmetry between market investors and upstream and downstream companies, and alleviate financing difficulties for enterprises. Beyond financial support, it can also promote knowledge transfer and market resource integration through its own network, enhancing the success rate of innovation and research and development in invested companies, and driving the development of new productive forces and the upgrading of economic structure. Strengthening patient capital means not only extending the investment horizon but also respecting the laws of technological iteration, trusting in the long-term evolution of industries, and building a consensus on long-term value. Its deep binding with the real economy will become another important force supporting the stable and long-term development of the Chinese economy.

  • Iranian Military: Pursuit of Trump and Netanyahu Will Continue After War

    On September 27, senior spokesman for the Iranian armed forces, Shekarchi, stated that even after the war ends, the Iranian military will continue to pursue U.S. President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, labeling them as "murderers" who will inevitably face punishment. "Even if the war ends, we will not spare Trump, Netanyahu, and their accomplices. Regardless of whether they remain in power, they must pay the price for their actions," Shekarchi said. He emphasized that Tehran will never allow the U.S. to regain its former status in the emerging world order. The only safe path for U.S. troops is to withdraw from the Middle East, and the faster they leave, the fewer losses they will incur. "Americans can dream of intervening in the Strait of Hormuz. But if they dare to meddle in the Strait of Hormuz, they will receive a hard slap in the face."

  • Iranian Foreign Minister: Opening of Strait of Hormuz Depends on Iran's Conditions Being Met

    On September 27, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif stated that Iran will not make concessions to the United States on established conditions. The opening of the Strait of Hormuz depends on whether Iran's proposed conditions are met, and any progress regarding the opening of the Strait will depend on the implementation of these conditions. Iran will never compromise on these issues. Zarif mentioned that Iran has been informed of the U.S. initial response to the proposal for reopening the Strait of Hormuz but has not yet received any specific information conveyed by the mediators. Iran is waiting for the mediators to communicate the final position, and will make decisions based on that. U.S. President Trump stated on the 26th that he rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. (CCTV News)

  • US to Lower Fuel Economy Standards, Fuel Consumption and Emissions May Rise

    On September 27, US officials announced on Saturday that the Department of Transportation will finalize regulations to significantly lower fuel economy standards for cars on Monday, applicable until 2031. This means the US will reverse the policies promoted during the Biden administration that encouraged automakers to produce more electric vehicles. Former President Trump stated that he has approved new fuel economy standards for cars and trucks, claiming that the new regulations will reduce the prices of new vehicles. US Transportation Secretary Duffy remarked, 'American auto workers will celebrate a major victory on Monday.' According to estimates from the Department of Transportation, the new standards will lower the cost of new cars, but fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions will increase over the coming decades.

  • U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETF Sees $2.39 Billion Net Inflow in a Week, Highest Since 2026

    On September 26, BeInCrypto reported that the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF experienced a net inflow of $2.39 billion this week, marking the largest single-week net inflow since 2026.

  • Riot Repays Coinbase Loan Early and Terminates $200 Million Bitcoin Collateral Credit Line

    On September 26, according to U.S. SEC filings, Bitcoin mining company Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT) voluntarily repaid all outstanding loans to Coinbase Credit on September 21 and terminated its $200 million credit line, while also releasing the lender's claim on the collateralized Bitcoin. Riot paid the full principal and accrued interest, incurring no early termination fees or penalties, and Coinbase's subsequent lending commitments were also terminated. The credit line, revised in April 2026, carried a fixed annual interest rate of 6.15% with a maturity date extended to April 20, 2027, and Riot had previously fully drawn the amount. At this rate, the annual interest on the $200 million balance is approximately $12.3 million. As of June 30, Riot had pledged 5,821 Bitcoins as collateral, valued at about $340.7 million, which accounted for approximately 51% of its total holdings of 11,380 Bitcoins at that time; the collateral also included USDC and cash held in Coinbase Custody Trust. This credit line was initially established in April 2025 for $100 million with a variable interest rate; it was doubled to $200 million the following month with a one-time fee of $1 million. Since the window for early termination fees specified in the agreement closed on August 21, no fees were required for the repayment in September. Riot is simultaneously expanding its data center operations, having announced in August a 20-year lease agreement with an unnamed AI developer for 191 megawatts of computing power at its Rockdale facility, which is expected to generate approximately $9.1 billion in initial revenue.
