Bitcoin doesn't have a yield. Fixed cap assets don't generate native yield but they can extract yield from broken fiat currencies often with huge counterparty risk.

What about lightning channel fees?

That's the closest thing to yield but most don't see it that way since you're providing an explicit technical service and there isn't a robust economy for that yet.

Those are payment for providing liquidity and routing services, and come with a risk of not having that bitcoin in cold storage. No risk-free yield there.

Wait.

Win.
