Bitcoin ownership for everyone through loans.

The problem Bitmor solves

Current Challenges with Bitcoin Ownership

  • Spot BTC now trades well into six figures; buying even one coin in cash is out of reach for most crypto users.

  • DeFi “BTC-backed loans” demand ≥133 % collateral (1.33 BTC for 1 BTC of credit), so they increase the BTC you need instead of lowering the bar.

  • TradFi offers no way to finance BTC at all, so retail is left with slow dollar-cost-averaging while institutions are leveraging and entering into BTC.

  • Stable-coin supply tops $150 B at 75% CAGR, yet blue-chip lending pools (Aave, Compound) pay low APY.

How Bitmor improves on existing solutions

  • “Bitcoin mortgage”: borrower puts down just 20 % in USDC, lender pool finances the other 80 %. Retail can control a full BTC on day one in select DeFi platforms.

  • Fixed-term, fixed-rate schedule: transparent EMI to turn BTC acquisition into a familiar monthly payment plan.

  • Liquidation anxiety of DeFi is fixed through an opt in "Liquidation Insurance" which is a long term put option.

  • In case of defaults, only micro-liquidations: only the BTC needed to cover that month’s EMI is sold.

  • BTC-secured credit delivers yields that historically beat Aave/Compound while being over-secured in USD terms from day one.

  • In-app exit queue & planned secondary market lets LPs rotate out without waiting for borrower maturity.

  • Regulated-grade architecture on-chain escrow unlocks true under-collateralisation without custodial rehypothecation risk.

Why this matters now

  • Adoption tail-winds: Bitcoin network users grow ~30 % YoY; the next 100 M retail entrants need financing.

  • Fresh liquidity: The newly passed GENIUS Act will legalise billions of stable-coin inflows that all need safe, yield-bearing deployment.

  • No direct competitors: Neither TradFi mortgages nor existing DeFi money markets offer sub-100 %-collateral BTC credit, leaving a clear gap that Bitmor fills.

Net effect

  • Borrowers become “full-coiners” decades sooner, capturing more upside with manageable monthly outlays.

  • Lenders convert stagnant stables into a diversified, hedged BTC credit book with superior yield.

  • The ecosystem gains a missing credit primitive that deepens liquidity, smooths volatility, and accelerates mainstream Bitcoin ownership.

Challenges we ran into

  • Creation of a liquidation Insurance which has an acceptable cost. Modelling this as a cost added in interest rates or through lump sum upfront buy, or through financing. This took many simulations for us to find our initial model. The infrastructure for this is still under works.

  • There were modelling challenges to find out what's a good percentage of downpayment that balances borrower Insurance Costs and Liquidation UX, without being too capital-intensive for downpayment.

  • Since there was no AAVE on base testnet, we had to deploy an AAVE contract ourselves.

  • The rate of interest is a work in progress, which needs to be modeled better for longer durations.
