Updated Strategy and Berachain’s Results for 2025
The Berachain team reviewed the past year and outlined their development focus for 2026. In their address, project representatives emphasized their commitment to strengthening their revenues and ensuring the long-term value of the asset, despite the volatility of the crypto market. Among the key achievements are a historical high of staked tokens in Proof of Liquidity (PoL), significant income for BGT/BERA holders, and exceeding a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $250 million.
“The price has shaped sentiment, the overall crypto market has contracted, and skepticism regarding the value of infrastructure blockchains has intensified.”
After a sharp decline in the value of BERA shortly after its launch, the network managed to increase its TVL and surpass blockchains like Base and Arbitrum. Additionally, over 25 million BERA tokens were staked in PoL, and more than $30 million in revenue was distributed among token holders, allowing Berachain to enter the top 5 blockchains by this metric. The ecosystem also recorded over $100 million in stablecoins and a ratio of 1:3 between cash in treasuries and the market capitalization of BERA.
Fundamental Advantages and Ecosystem Development
The Berachain team highlights several key advantages of the network: the use of the Proof of Liquidity model, which directs emissions towards application development, control of liquidity and revenues through their own DeFi solutions (BEX, BEND, HONEY), the expertise of their team, and an EVM-compatible technical stack with finality in one slot. With BERA DAT, the network can invest and collaborate with traditional businesses.
Among the significant events of the year were the launch of BEND as a native money market, generating over $1 million in revenue from partnerships with stablecoin projects (Ethena, PayPal USD, Circle, Tether), the listing of projects like Infrared, Dolomite, Kodiak, and others, as well as the integration of PoL staking on leading exchanges. A substantial portion of circulating BERA was locked in PoL and DeFi, and after the Balancer exploit in November, users were fully reimbursed $12 million.
In November 2025, Berachain temporarily suspended network operations and conducted a hard fork to address vulnerabilities related to the Balancer V2 hack. The Berachain Foundation released an update aimed at eliminating critical risks in BEX.
The “Bera Builds Businesses” Strategy and Plans for 2026
As the traditional L1 model no longer guarantees token value growth, Berachain is shifting to a new strategy called “Bera Builds Businesses.” The network will now focus on creating, acquiring, or closely collaborating with businesses, as well as developing 3–5 of the most promising projects. This will involve utilizing PoL emissions, their own infrastructure, and team to provide direct value to the BERA token.
The main goal is to achieve emission neutrality, become a profitable network, and reinvest profits into growth or token buybacks. Berachain emphasizes that their “winning condition” lies in controlling their own future and maximizing long-term value for BERA with minimal dependence on external factors. In 2026, the team plans to scale businesses within the ecosystem and create sustainable value for token holders.
It was previously reported that in 2024, Berachain formed a partnership with Google.
