SALT Lending promoted Bitcoin-backed loans as a liquidity tool that allows long-term holders to access capital without selling their BTC. In a video shared on X on October 14, the lender outlined use cases including real estate purchases, business expansion, and investment diversification while preserving long-term Bitcoin exposure. The firm noted that borrowing against pledged Bitcoin can avoid triggering capital gains taxes associated with selling appreciated holdings, though it acknowledged that individual tax circumstances vary. SALT also emphasized that borrowers must weigh loan costs and repayment obligations against Bitcoin's price volatility, which can increase loan-to-value ratios and potentially trigger liquidation events if collateral values decline significantly.
