Bitcoin as CollateralExploring Bitcoin-Collateralized Lending and the Institutional OpportunityWatch Full Session
What Was Covered
Bitcoin-native companies are increasingly evaluating how to access USD liquidity while preserving Bitcoin exposure. This session covered the market context, core mechanics and risk considerations behind Bitcoin-backed financing structures.
- How institutions, miners, and treasury companies can access USD liquidity using Bitcoin as collateral, without selling.
- Why only 14% of institutions have borrowed against their BTC despite 88% saying they'd consider it, and what's changing that.
- The specific risk miners face when BTC price drops (collateral value and revenue falling at the same time), and how lenders are underwriting it.
- Why rehypothecation is no longer an automatic red flag when done through regulated, audited structures.
- Real examples of institutions moving from "hold vs. sell" thinking to making their Bitcoin productive.
