# Reward Details

Understanding the BTC reward details.

All rewards are paid in a BTC derivative (e.g., cbBTC, wBTC, etc.) at the end of each season.

Users are required to claim their rewards within a specific time window (currently set at three days) after each season ends to claim BTC yield.

Staking accumulates pSATS, which are automatically converted into BTC when a user claims their rewards (see the Yield Calculation Methodology section for more details)

The distribution of pSATS during the staking period is allocated in two separate pools as follows:

* 80% of pSATS to all users staking PSTAKE
* 20% of pSATS to PSTAKE Stakers holding at least 0.05 YBTC.

As a result, users that have deposited BTC into the pSTAKE Finance BTC Liquid Staking solution (min 0.05 BTC) will generate a higher allocation of pSATS and, therefore, BTC yields.

The following table demonstrates allocations for users:
