# Token Utility * ## Token Utility BTCV isn’t just a passive rewards token — it acts as the utility token of the Virtuals mining economy. Holding BTCV unlocks a range of privileges in the ecosystem and drives the network’s positive flywheel. * **Mining yield access** — Holding BTCV entitles you to receive a portion of real Bitcoin mining revenue, paid as cbBTC and BTCB. Larger holdings unlock higher multipliers. * **Deflationary benefits** — Mining revenue funds buybacks and burns of BTCV, reducing supply and hardening the price floor. * **Airdrop eligibility** — BTCV holders qualify for cbBTC and BTCB airdrops based on their balance, incentivising loyalty and participation in both ecosystems. * **Ecosystem membership** — Future Virtuals products may require BTCV holdings to access exclusive utilities, launchpad participation, and governance.Together, these utilities create tangible reasons to hold and accumulate BTCV while reinforcing its role as the core asset of the Virtuals mining flywheel. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
