Debifi, Berglinde Issue Largest Bitcoin-Collateralized Loans at 9% APR
1min read Debifi, a leading platform for non-custodial Bitcoin-backed lending, has achieved a significant milestone in its strategic partnership with Berglinde. This collaboration has facilitated the issuance of several of the largest Bitcoin-collateralized fiat loans to date, with highly competitive annual percentage rates (APR) starting at 9%.
This development underscores Bitcoin’s growing acceptance as a high-grade collateral asset for large-scale, responsible lending. The loans are disbursed in USD, EUR, CHF, and major stablecoins, demonstrating that Bitcoin-backed credit can compete with traditional financial markets in terms of scale and pricing.
Debifi reports a sustained rise in demand for Bitcoin-collateralized loans, with 10,800 borrower searches annually across key markets. This trend reflects a growing interest in using Bitcoin as a tool to unlock fiat liquidity without selling holdings. Berglinde’s ability to meet this demand through low-cost, high-value loans sets a new industry benchmark, indicating growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin-based financial infrastructure.
The 9% APR introduced by Berglinde is among the most competitive rates in the Bitcoin lending sector. This rate offers borrowers significant advantages and incentivizes higher standards for lenders on the platform. 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.
Max Kei, CEO of Debifi, commented, “This milestone isn’t just about competitive rates – it’s about realizing the true vision of Bitcoin as sovereign money. When lenders like Berglinde offer serious capital at just 9% APR, it proves that Bitcoin-backed finance can scale responsibly. We’re building more than a lending market – we’re accelerating the shift toward a Bitcoin-native financial future.”
Phil Lojacono, Co-Founder of Berglinde, added, “Our mission at Berglinde has always been to drive innovation in Bitcoin-backed finance. Issuing loans at just 9% APR reflects what’s possible when Bitcoin is treated as high-quality collateral. Debifi’s approach aligns perfectly with our vision, and together we’re laying the groundwork for a thriving, competitive Bitcoin lending market.”
