Today, we’re excited to roll out a major upgrade to one of the most powerful features we’ve ever built at Strike: bitcoin-backed loans. This update includes:
Since launching earlier this month, we’ve seen incredible demand from customers using their bitcoin to unlock new financial opportunities, without selling a single sat. We’re excited to keep expanding the tools and features that make that possible. Get a bitcoin-backed loan.
We’re also proud to announce that Strike has added to our corporate treasury which now sits at approximately 1500 bitcoin. This doubles down on our long-term commitment to Bitcoin and solidifies our position as one of the top 20 largest corporate bitcoin holders in the world.
We’ve expanded our loan range to make bitcoin-backed borrowing more accessible and better aligned with your needs. Loan amounts now start at just $10,000 in select U.S. states, with availability varying by location. On the other end, we’ve removed the maximum, allowing individuals and businesses to borrow any amount—unlocking more of their bitcoin’s value without selling.
Whether you’re covering a short-term expense or financing something bigger, you can now borrow on terms that match your goals.
To access loans greater than $5 million, reach out to private@strike.me. Minimum loan amounts vary by state for individuals and businesses.
Our new rate model is based on your loan size, giving you more flexibility and efficiency when borrowing against your bitcoin. You can now get a 12-month loan starting at 9.5% APR, with no origination fee.
