The lender topped $2.5 billion in total commitments since 2024 as institutional bitcoin adoption has accelerated
Oct 9, 2025, 11:00 a.m.
Two Prime Lending issued record-breaking bitcoin-backed loans of $827 million in Q3 2025, bringing its total committed loan volume to $2.55 billion since launching in March 2024, the firm said on Thursday.
The lending affiliate of investment adviser Two Prime has established itself as one of the largest bitcoin-backed lenders globally, serving institutions such as miners, hedge funds, trading firms, and digital asset treasuries. It received $20 million backing led by bitcoin BTC$122,754.46 miner MARA Holdings (MARA) earlier this year.
Two Prime’s lending clients include publicly listed names like CleanSpark (CLSK), Hut 8 (HUT), Kindly MD (NAKA) and Fold (FLD). Two Prime attributes its growth to competitive rates and catering to institutions seeking yield and risk management.
CEO and Co-Founder Alexander S. Blume said the firm’s success reflects rising institutional adoption of bitcoin and the demand for sophisticated lending and derivatives solutions in Thursday's emailed announcement.
“As more institutions — including large corporate treasuries, miners, hedge funds, endowments, pensions funds, and sovereign wealth funds — purchase and hold bitcoin, Two Prime has developed sophisticated lending and derivatives strategies to generate risk-adjusted yield for these institutions."
