According to CoinMeta, the demand from institutions for Bitcoin mortgages is accelerating, with lenders offering larger amounts, longer terms, and more personalized terms. Mara Holdings promised this month to provide $18,750 in BTC to obtain two fixed-term loans of $600 million through Coinbase Credit and Two Prime Lending. The value of this collateral at the time of the transaction was approximately $1.2 billion, accounting for about 53% of Marathon's Bitcoin holdings at that time. Mara stated that the funds obtained may be used for general corporate purposes, including plans to acquire Long Ridge Energy & Power. This natural gas power plant will support Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence infrastructure. The loan interest rate for Two Prime is 7.65%, with a maturity date of August 2028. Blume indicated that the demand for borrowing has increased recently, with institutions using their Bitcoin holdings to finance while maintaining an exposure to this asset.
