21 Capital is currently exploring issuing USD loans backed by Bitcoin as collateral.

BlockBeats News, July 30th, according to Bloomberg on Wednesday cited sources familiar with the matter, Twenty One Capital is exploring a strategy planning to offer dollar loans with Bitcoin as collateral. Twenty One Capital, backed by Cantor Fitzgerald, has currently expanded its Bitcoin holdings to at least 43,500 BTC, about 1,500 BTC more than originally expected.

The company recently acquired about 5,800 BTC from the stablecoin issuer Tether, with the total value of its holdings now approximately $5.13 billion at current prices. Established in April this year, the company aims to build one of the world's largest Bitcoin reserves, with backers including Tether, Bitfinex, and SoftBank. Its merger plan with the SPAC company Cantor Equity Partners is progressing and expected to go public shortly.

As digital assets are increasingly being integrated into corporate balance sheets, public companies and funds are gradually moving away from the old model of simply "HODLing." Many institutions are now choosing to lend out Bitcoin, stake Ethereum, or sell options to generate yield from "idle assets." Bitcoin mining companies such as MARA Holdings and CleanSpark are pioneering such strategies—using crypto options and derivatives to boost revenue instead of passively holding assets. CleanSpark also plans to explore more sophisticated derivative tools to profit from market volatility.
