AVAX One Deploys 800,000 AVAX Targeting 6% Yield

On March 17, 2026, AVAX One Technology Ltd. (Nasdaq: AVX), the first publicly traded Avalanche treasury company, announced it engaged digital asset firm Treehouse to expand its yield-generating capabilities. The company deployed more than 800,000 AVAX tokens into tAVAX, Treehouse's liquid staking primitive built on the Avalanche network.

Based on estimates from Treehouse, AVAX One anticipates generating an approximate 6% annual yield from this initial deployment. The move represents a diversification of the firm's treasury strategy, which already stakes over 90% of its AVAX holdings through its own validator infrastructure. AVAX One has stated that it may expand its deployment with Treehouse if the initial results meet expectations.

Strategy Signals Broadening Institutional DeFi Adoption

This partnership provides a clear signal of increasing institutional demand for structured, on-chain yield products. The tAVAX liquid staking token, which is powered by BENQI, is designed to capture yield through mechanisms like interest rate arbitrage while allowing the underlying capital to remain composable and usable across the DeFi ecosystem.

Part of our broader Avalanche treasury strategy is to utilize our AVAX Holdings as productively as possible. By deploying a portion of our holdings with Treehouse, we are taking advantage of an opportunity to both further expand and diversify our yield potential.

— Jolie Kahn, Chief Executive Officer of AVAX One.

The collaboration underscores the need for defined structures for on-chain institutional capital, a trend further evidenced by Grayscale's recent launch of its Grayscale Avalanche Staking ETF (GAVA). The use of sophisticated DeFi tools by a Nasdaq-listed firm for treasury management marks a significant step in the maturation of the on-chain economy.
