Debifi, a leading platform for non-custodial Bitcoin-backed lending, is pleased to announce a significant milestone in its strategic partnership with Berglinde. The collaboration has enabled the issuance of several of the largest Bitcoin-collateralized fiat loans to date, featuring highly competitive annual percentage rates (APR) starting at 9%.

Bitcoin Emerges as High-Grade Collateral for Institutional Lending

This achievement highlights Bitcoin’s growing acceptance as premium collateral for large-scale, responsible lending. With fiat disbursed in USD, EUR, CHF, and major stablecoins, Berglinde has demonstrated that Bitcoin-backed credit can rival traditional financial markets in both scale and pricing.

Global Demand for Bitcoin-Backed Liquidity Continues to Surge

Debifi reports a sustained rise in demand for Bitcoin-collateralized loans, with 10,800 borrower searches annually across key markets including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and beyond. More individuals are exploring Bitcoin as a tool to unlock fiat liquidity without having to sell their holdings.

Berglinde’s capacity to address this demand through low-cost, high-value loans establishes a new industry benchmark, reflecting growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin-based financial infrastructure.

Elevating Competition in Bitcoin Lending

The 9% APR introduced by Berglinde ranks among the most competitive rates in the Bitcoin lending sector, offering borrowers significant advantages while incentivizing higher standards for lenders on the platform.

Setting a New Standard for Bitcoin Lending

By combining Debifi’s secure, non-custodial multi-signature infrastructure with Berglinde’s substantial liquidity, this partnership sets a new standard for performance, transparency, and borrower confidence in the Bitcoin-backed lending space.
