Mission

BTCBACKED

What we stand for

BTCBacked is a Bitcoin-first platform connecting borrowers and lenders through a secure, non-custodial marketplace.
We enable Bitcoin holders to unlock liquidity without selling their Bitcoin, while allowing lenders to earn interest on stablecoin loans backed by Bitcoin collateral.
Built on multi-signature security and automated collateral management, BTCBacked never takes custody of the collateral, cannot move it alone, and delivers a transparent, fair lending experience.

Our principles

Bitcoin-first

Bitcoin is the most liquid, resilient, and neutral form of collateral. Everything we build starts there.

Non-custodial by design

BTCBACKED

Who we are

BTCBacked is headquartered in Zug and AML-supervised as a member of VQF (Verein zur Qualitätssicherung von Finanzdienstleistungen), a self-regulatory organisation officially recognised by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). We hold ourselves to high standards of security, compliance and transparency.

Founded in the heart of Switzerland's Crypto Valley, BTCBacked provides a trusted ecosystem where users can confidently access liquidity, lend, and transact with peace of mind. We built a platform for the upcoming Bitcoin era.

A message from the founder

“Bitcoin is sound money: scarce by design, and no one can print more of it. Holders should be able to unlock its value without giving it up. That's why we built BTCBacked: a marketplace for Bitcoin-backed loans, built by Bitcoiners, for Bitcoiners.”
