Bitcoin Treasury Firm K33 Rolls Out Crypto-Backed Loans for BTC Investors

Bitcoin treasury firm K33 has announced the launch of its crypto-backed loan products. This will allow eligible clients to be able to borrow USDC with their BTC holdings without having to sell.

K33 Expands Bitcoin Treasury Strategy With New Loan Product

In a press release by the company, they shared that they would now be offering clients the opportunity to use their Bitcoin and other crypto holdings as collateral to get USDC loans.

Crypto lending had been unavailable in the Nordic region. This positions as the first of its kind. This would help clients who need substantial capital while keeping their tokens intact. This comes just after the company launched its BTC treasury last year as they look to expand its strategy.

CEO Torbjørn Bull Jenssen shared how this generates yield for the companys broader Bitcoin treasury strategy.

“Crypto-backed loans give clients access to liquidity without having to sell assets they believe in for the long term. At the same time, this is a clear example of how K33s Bitcoin treasury strategy is designed to do more than hold Bitcoin — it is designed to put our BTC to work in a disciplined way that can generate yield and strengthen our product offering, he said.”

This would help boost the full service of the firm by combining its brokerage services with balance sheet-backed products. It was shared that the rollout would be on a limited basis. The Bitcoin treasury firm would initially onboard a select group of clients based on demand and eligibility tests.

Crypto Firms Pivot Into Lending for Clients

There has been a continuous trend from treasury firms looking into crypto lending for their investors. Just last week, World Liberty Financial announced a lending platform for its investors. This would support using collateral including Ethereum, tokenized Bitcoin and stablecoins like USDC and USDT.

The new loan product would allow users to borrow these tokens via an on-chain marketplace pegged to USD1 and WLFI. The top crypto loan platforms have also gained traction after the collapse of centralized lenders in past market cycles.

Growth of this sector has largely been due to the collateralized loans and firms in the Bitcoin treasury offering their clients this kind of offering.

Crypto-collaterized lending saw volume of about $73.59 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2025. DeFi lending also saw volume of $40.99 billion. This is 55.7% of the overall market cap of the lending and borrowing sector.
