Buck Launches the World’s First Bitcoin Dollar with 7% Rewards
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, January 6th, 2026, Chainwire
The Buck Foundation is launching the world’s first Bitcoin Dollar savings coin, introducing a new category of digital asset designed for predictable rewards, global accessibility, and minute-by-minute earnings. The company’s debut product offers 7% annual rewards that accrue by the minute, with low transaction fees, positioning Buck as a savings-focused complement to today’s stable assets.
Buck, a governance token by design, delivers its rewards by being indirectly backed by Bitcoin via its treasury holdings of STRC, Strategy’s Bitcoin-backed perpetual preferred stock. STRC pays Buck’s treasury a monthly return of capital at a variable annual rate. Buck token holders vote on distributing these earnings directly to holders, creating a transparent savings community supported by STRC’s overcollateralization with Bitcoin and its established financial framework.
Buck’s US based technology company, Buck Labs, is led by founder and CEO Travis VanderZanden, a long-time Bitcoin investor and an experienced operator who has built and scaled many consumer technology companies. As the founder and former CEO of Bird, he managed one of the fastest global expansions in recent tech history while working closely with city governments and regulators across hundreds of jurisdictions. His earlier leadership roles at Lyft and Uber further shaped his expertise in driving consumer adoption at scale and navigating complex operational environments. VanderZanden’s move into digital assets reflects a shift toward building clear, durable financial tools that prioritize user trust and regulatory readiness.
“People want a simple way to earn rewards in crypto without becoming speculators, and that is exactly what Buck is designed to provide,” said Travis VanderZanden, CEO of Buck Labs. “By providing access to the Bitcoin Dollar with 7% rewards, we aim to make saving in crypto intuitive and accessible for everyone.”
Buck, initially priced at $1 a token, enables holders to trade 24/7 rather than being confined to traditional market windows. Buck holders also earn rewards based on the precise time they hold the token.The structure allows individuals to invest and withdraw directly in cryptocurrency without relying on fiat conversions or banking infrastructure. The company believes this reduces friction and makes savings rewards accessible to a wider global audience. By connecting Strategy’s STRC financial foundation with Web3 flexibility, Buck aims to offer a borderless and user-friendly savings experience.
“The crypto market has matured significantly, and users now expect both immediate utility and reliable growth, much like having a checking account for everyday transactions and a dedicated savings account. In this new financial model, stablecoins act as the checking account, providing the easy payment liquidity needed for daily activity. Meanwhile, Buck is positioned as the high-reward savings coin, delivering dependable, predictable returns and financial discipline,” VanderZanden said. “Our goal is to make consistent savings a core financial function of crypto.”
