What actually happens when you borrow against your Bitcoin?

In this 12-minute video I walk through my first BTC-backed loan with @hodlwithLedn: why I took it, how it works, and why LTV is the number that matters most.

Not financial advice, just my experience.

How many people want to use their bitcoin as collateral?

@hodlwithLedn's commissioned survey found that 88% of crypto holders in the U.S. and Australia would consider borrowing against their digital assets, but only 14% currently do!

What's holding people back? Not the tech.

@BenjaminNorton Che Beijing Benny, back in the 90s we got paid 10% of our salary in Argentina with luncheon checks. Do your research, this is nothing new.

[Simon Barrell @SimonBarrell]

@MarioNawfal Utter bs. What makes you the expert about the politics, economics or the social fabric of Argentina? Por que no te callas?

[Simply Bitcoin @SimplyBitcoin]

JUST IN: S&P Global Ratings has assigned a preliminary BBB- credit rating to a Bitcoin-backed loan securitization product from Ledn (@hodlwithledn).

If finalized, this would become the first ever investment-grade Bitcoin credit product in history.

Bitcoin is entering institutional credit markets.

@narindertweets Let us educate you @narindertweets, maybe start by listening to the voice of real Venezuelan people? https://t.co/c8Ty0JwStI

[@amuse @amuse]

VENEZUELA: A Venezuelan mother and her son disrupted a paid far left pro Maduro protest in Puerto Rico, saying they have waited 26 years for this moment. Her son added that there was not a single Venezuelan among the Maduro supporters.

Great to start 2026 on the right foot #UTG

@ChrisForPA deluzional. You all even read the statements off a teleprompter, doubling down on a broader conspiracy that clearly puts your politics before country. Spin all you like, but that was Sedition, I think you made a mistake. Thank you for your service.
