How to retire early without spending my Bitcoin

So some years back, I created a plan for how to get myself to an early retirement through investing in cash flow producing real estate (rental properties). However, along the way, I stumbled upon Bitcoin and have spent countless hours studying it and the problems it solves, and have since been redirecting most of my investments there. So I guess my question is, how do I get the same cash flow from Bitcoin in the future that I was planning on getting from real estate? Will I be forced to sell/spend chunks of it as needed, or do you think there will be financial products that will pay some sort of interest or "dividend" on my BTC holdings? I really dislike the idea of parting from any of my hard earned sats.
