Bitcoin Lightning Network Deposit Presale Surpasses $900 Million, 1.5 Times Higher Than Pump.fun Presale Amount

BlockBeats News, July 10 — The reservation phase for the Bitcoin Thunderbolt Station, initiated by Nubit, has concluded, with total reserved deposits surpassing $900 million, approximately 1.5 times the fundraising amount of Pump.fun.

The Bitcoin Thunderbolt Station is designed to maintain mainnet security and distribute mainnet revenue to institutional holders and qualified users. As of today, the reservation phase has fully ended. Multiple institutions, family offices, and investment firms participated in the deposit reservation using BTC, USD1, as well as BRC-20, Runes, and other Taproot inscription assets. This marks the first time that native Bitcoin assets have been widely used in mainnet infrastructure participation scenarios.

The second phase of the station will open later this week. Qualified institutions and users can deposit BTC or USD1 and use tsUSD quotas to activate the station and maximize mainnet returns.

The Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network, led by early Bitcoin core developers and the Nubit team, is currently the only protocol on the Bitcoin mainnet supporting native acceleration and stablecoin settlement. In just two months since launch, it has processed over 4 million on-chain transactions, with the number of unique users exceeding 267,000. Previously, the Trump family’s crypto project WLFI integrated its stablecoin USD1 into the Thunderbolt Network, making it one of the first native settlement assets.

Additionally, according to an April 15 report, HSBC disclosed that the Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network has introduced UTXO Bundling and the OP_CAT instruction via a mainnet soft fork, supporting native asset issuance and high-frequency transaction verification. On-chain processing efficiency has improved by 1,000–2,000 times compared to the Bitcoin mainnet.
