Bitcoin loans increasingly used for tuition, payroll, and home buying, not just trading, says SALT Lending.

SALT Lending reports that more Bitcoin holders are using loans backed by their Bitcoin holdings for everyday expenses such as tuition, business capital, home purchases, and debt consolidation instead of selling their coins. Borrowers post Bitcoin as collateral and receive cash loans with fixed terms and interest rates based on loan-to-value ratios, allowing them to keep ownership of their Bitcoin. SALT claims over $2 billion funded in loans with no collateral losses, though these figures are self-reported and not independently verified. The company plans to expand licensing to California and Nevada by 2026, potentially increasing its U.S. coverage.
