Bitcoin Deserves a
Credit Market

$2.2 Trillion in value. Zero institutional credit.
We're building the infrastructure to fix that.

The Biggest Asset Class
Without Credit

Every major asset class has a credit layer.
Bitcoin has nothing.

Asset Class Market Value Credit Market Leverage
US Real Estate $55T $13T 23%
US Autos $6T $1.5T 25%
Bitcoin $2.2T $0 0%

50M+ Americans own crypto. Zero of them have non-liquidating credit access. At real estate or auto leverage ratios, the Bitcoin credit market is $440 – $550 billion.

Banks Can Compete
Not JPMorgan. Not Goldman. No one.

The credit layer for Bitcoin must come from outside the banking system. This is not a choice — it is regulation. This is the architecture of the opportunity.

Bitcoin Purchase Plans

Fixed payments. No margin calls. No liquidation. Ever.

01
Choose
$50 – $10,000/month
4 to 120 month terms
02

Fixed monthly installments
12–18% APR. BTC drops 90%?
Same payment. No liquidation.
03
Own
Bitcoin held in Fireblocks
institutional custody. Delivered
to buyer at completion.

This is not DeFi lending. No overcollateralization. No liquidation risk. This is how the other 99% build a Bitcoin position — and every plan originated is new Bitcoin demand.

04

Every Loan Is a
Real Bitcoin Buy

Not paper Bitcoin. Not derivatives. Not ETF shares. Real BTC — purchased on-chain and locked in custody.

$1B
Originations
~10,000 real BTC bought on-market and locked in custody
$10B
At Scale
~100,000 BTC removed from circulating supply

Lock Duration
Each BTC held in segregated Fireblocks custody until plan completion

Bitcoin Yield.
Without Selling Bitcoin.

Contribute BTC to the warehouse fund. Earn monthly yield. Your Bitcoin position only grows.

The Accumulation Strategy

  • Deposit BTC into the warehouse fund at market value
  • Fund purchases consumer receivables — spread between 12–18% APR and bond coupons drives returns
  • Monthly yield continuously converted back to BTC
  • Your Bitcoin position compounds. You never sell.
  • 17.8% IRR base case — unleveraged

Early Payoff = Accelerated Yield

  • Yield maintenance clause: if a borrower pays early, they owe the full terminal value
  • You capture the entire 10-year yield — compressed into a shorter period
  • Capital recycles immediately into new originations
  • 4–5x capital velocity over the fund's life
  • Zero performance fee. Zero carry. GP earns only through servicing.

You already hold the hardest asset. BTC Now lets you earn yield on it without custody risk, without selling, and without leverage — while simultaneously creating structural demand for Bitcoin.

07

Defaults Make the
Fund Stronger

Recovery Example

  • $100K Bitcoin purchase, default at month 36
  • BTC down 20% from origination
  • Payments retained: $57,600 (no clawback)
  • Bitcoin recovered: $80,000 at market
  • Total: $137,600 — 37.6% profit on default

The Self-Healing Loop

  • Buyer defaults → Fund keeps all payments + Bitcoin
  • Bitcoin re-issued at current market pricing
  • New origination fees + new 10-year payment stream
  • No capital consumed. Warehouse capacity regenerates.
  • Modeled to survive 70% defaults + 90% BTC price decline

This is what sound money credit looks like. The collateral is the hardest asset in existence. It doesn't depreciate. It doesn't rust. It doesn't need insurance. It just sits there, accruing value.

The Flywheel to
Reserve Currency

Credit infrastructure creates a self-reinforcing cycle that accelerates Bitcoin's path to global reserve status.

More credit → more demand → higher price → lower volatility → more institutions → more credit. BTC Now is the engine that starts the flywheel.

A New Bitcoin
Product Category

Zero carry. ETF-ready structure. First Bitcoin private credit fund.

0%
Carry / Performance Fee
Intentional. Makes the fund more attractive to LPs and enables ETF wrapper conversion.
$150M
Initial Warehouse
$25M minimum launch threshold. $1B hard cap. Delaware LP structure.
$1.2B
Bond Capacity
$150M warehouse → sequential ABS securitization → 12 tranches.

Most private credit funds cannot convert to ETFs because their carry structures make it prohibitively complex. BTC Now's zero-carry model is purpose-built for public listing — creating a new ETF product category: Bitcoin-backed private credit. For BTC providers, the ETF listing is your exit — LP positions convert to publicly tradable shares with daily liquidity, replacing a 24-month lockup with an open market.

Terminal Volatility

Terminal Credit Rate
BTC credit rates converge with sovereign rates as volatility declines over decades.

Bitcoin moves from digital gold to digital reserve currency through institutional credit infrastructure. Not through legal tender mandates. Not through government decree. Through the market building the financial plumbing that makes it possible. BTC Now is Phase 1.
