Summary

Strike founder Jack Mallers describes the explosive growth of Bitcoin-backed loans as his most successful product. He argues the Bitcoin lending market is tiny relative to Bitcoin’s market cap and that long-term holders will increasingly borrow against BTC rather than sell to access liquidity.

  • Bitcoin lending market is $20-30 billion vs. $1.25 trillion Bitcoin asset, suggesting enormous room to grow.
  • As Bitcoin gains in portfolios, holders need liquidity without selling, making loans a natural solution.
  • Mallers says the product is his most successful ever and he is 'incredibly bullish' on it.
  • The message encourages 'stop selling your Bitcoin' and borrowing against it instead.

Bitcoin lending growth reduces sell pressure.
The Bitcoin lending market is only $20-30 billion against a $1.25 trillion asset, still small and early; as Bitcoin holdings grow to dominate portfolios, holders will increasingly need liquidity and borrowing against BTC instead of selling it will drive huge demand for Bitcoin-backed loans, reducing sell pressure and making holding more attractive.
