Strike partners with trusted capital providers to deliver bitcoin-backed loans with the best possible rates and terms. When you open a loan, your bitcoin collateral is held by Strike or transferred to one of our trusted capital providers, where it is securely held and not re-hypothecated. This means your bitcoin collateral is never lent-out, shorted, or transferred to any other external third party.

You can monitor your collateral amount, value, and status, in your Strike app’s Loan Center at any time. Early loan closures are available on demand, with no fee, starting 60 days after your loan is opened. Once your loan is successfully closed, your collateral will be returned to you within one business day.

Strike is actively working towards providing greater collateral tracking and management features for all bitcoin-backed loans. If you have any questions regarding our current bitcoin-backed loan offering, please contact support@strike.me.

To open a bitcoin-backed loan, ensure you meet the eligibility requirements and have sufficient bitcoin in your Strike account for your intended loan size.

Before you begin:

Prior to opening a loan, familiarize yourself with how bitcoin-backed loans work, including the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio, how payments work, and margin calls and liquidations.

How to open a bitcoin-backed loan:

To open your loan, ensure your Strike app is up to date, then visit your Strike app’s Cash tab, and select the "Bitcoin-backed loans" card and follow these steps:

1. Select loan type: Choose between "Monthly Interest" (interest paid monthly, principal paid at maturity) or "Payment at Maturity" (interest and principal paid at maturity).
2. Set loan amount: Adjust the slider to select your desired loan amount, which affects the required collateral and interest cost.
3. Set collateral amount: Adjust the slider to set your collateral amount. Remember, adding extra collateral reduces the bitcoin prices at which margin calls and liquidations occur.
4. Choose payment source: Select your preferred source for automatically paying your monthly interest (if applicable) and maturity payment.
5. Enable notifications: Ensure notifications are enabled for the Strike app to receive important loan updates.
6. Preview loan details: Review your loan configuration.
7. Review and sign agreement: The loan agreement will be emailed to your account for review. If you accept, return to the Strike app to sign your screen and tap “Initiate loan” to complete the process.

After your loan is opened:

Once your loan is opened, your bitcoin collateral will be immediately debited from your bitcoin balance and the cash will be credited to your cash balance.

On your Cash tab, you’ll find your LTV Tracker, which provides a quick overview of your loan’s health. If you tap your LTV Tracker, you can access your Loan Center where you can monitor and manage your loan. Please note, bitcoin-backed loans from Strike are not reported to credit agencies and do not affect your credit score.

When you open a bitcoin-backed loan, you must repay the loaned amount plus interest. The interest is the cost of your loan and is calculated from the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of the principal amount you are borrowing. Bitcoin-backed loans with Strike have no origination fee, early closure fee, or early repayment fee.

The APR for your loan depends on two main factors:

1. Loan type: "Payment at Maturity" loans typically have a higher APR compared to "Monthly Payment" loans, because the monthly interest payments are deferred.
2. Loan size: The larger the loan, the lower the rate.

Loan amount	Interest-Only Monthly Payment	Payment at Maturity
< $250,000	12% (12.68% APR)	13% APR
$250,000 – $750,000	11% (11.57% APR)	12% APR
$750,000 – $2,000,000	10% (10.47% APR)	11% APR
$2,000,000 – $5,000,000	9.75% (10.19% APR)	10.75% APR
$5,000,000 – $10,000,000	9.5% (9.92% APR)	10.5% APR
≥ $10,000,000	9.11% (9.5% APR)	10.5% APR

Minimum loan amounts vary by state for individuals and businesses. Loans opened on a loan amount threshold will get the lower APR.

To access the largest sized loans (greater than $5,000,000), please contact private@strike.me to arrange a custom loan.

Yes, you can have up to 3 active bitcoin-backed loans at a time.

Opening multiple loans

To open another loan, visit your Strike app’s Cash tab and follow these steps:

1. Tap your LTV Tracker to open your Loan Center
2. Scroll to the bottom of your Loan Center and tap “Open another loan”
3. Follow the process of opening a new loan

Each new loan is subject to the prevailing APR at the time of opening, which may differ from your existing loans. Once set, the APR remains fixed for the duration of that loan.

Please note, you can open only one new loan per day and each of your loans have different terms, uch as Payment at Maturity or Monthly Payments, with varying amounts and APRs. If you already have 3 open loans you’ll need to close one of your active loans before opening another. Loans can be closed 60 days after opening.

Managing multiple loans

Once you have multiple open loans, you can visit your Strike app’s Cash screen to manage your loans:

• Swipe left or right on your LTV Tracker to view your individual loans
• Tap on any of your LTV trackers to access the Loan Center for that specific loan.

Within each loan center, you can manage collateral, schedule or make payments, and track the LTV ratio. To stay organized, you can rename your loans by tapping the loan name located above the LTV percentage. This name will appear in all related app notifications and emails, helping you distinguish between loans easily.
