Episode notes
How SALT Started With Miners Then Broadened
- SALT serves individuals, high net worths, family offices, corporations and miners, tailoring standard offerings and negotiated terms for larger loans.
- They began with miners due to forced-sale fragility and expanded to corporate treasury strategies to preserve longevity.
Institutional Funding Will Bring Down Rates
- Securitization and institutional capital will lower borrower rates and create diverse custody and term structures for Bitcoin-backed loans.
- SALT follows industry moves like Ledn's rated securitization to build traditional asset-backed finance for crypto loans.
Profitable Yield Fuels Bitcoin Treasury Growth
- SALT's business model blends a profitable operating company with deliberate Bitcoin accumulation, using loan revenue to buy BTC and build treasury MNAV.
- That combination differentiates SALT from pure-accumulation treasuries by pairing product growth with balance sheet accumulation.
