Borrow Against BitcoinBorrow Against Bitcoin

Unlock cash from your bitcoin — and keep the keys to the math

Every bitcoin-backed loan comes down to four numbers: rate, LTV, liquidation price and tax bill. We track all four across US lenders so you can compare offers on facts, not marketing.

How It Works 9 Lenders LTV & Liquidation Tax Rules 7 Crypto Lending 15

Editorial team

Read like a loan officer: dated numbers, primary documents, no marketing math

We build every guide from the papers a borrower rarely reads in full — lender rate sheets and terms of service, IRS digital-asset guidance, SEC and CFPB publications, and bankruptcy filings from platforms that froze withdrawals. Nothing is paraphrased from a homepage.

Each rate, LTV threshold and liquidation trigger we publish carries the date we recorded it and the document it came from; when a lender changes terms, we change the guide.

📄
Primary documents first
Figures trace back to lender terms of service, IRS notices on digital assets, and SEC or CFPB filings — never to a marketing page.
🗓️
Dated, then revisited
Every number is stamped with the date we verified it, because a bitcoin loan's rate and margin-call price can move within a single week.
⚠️
Not FDIC or SIPC insured
Crypto-backed loans carry no FDIC or SIPC protection; if a lender fails or your collateral is liquidated, no federal insurance makes you whole, and we say so on every guide.
