Custody is King
Security is the #1 factor you should consider when taking a bitcoin-backed loan. At Unchained Capital, we store our customers’ bitcoin in dedicated addresses from our multisignature, cold storage wallet. That means no single-signature, no exchanges, and no 3rd parties are used.
A FAST AND EASY LOAN PROCESS
Loans Up to $1,000,000 Approved Within the Same Week
1. COMPLETE APPLICATION
Fill out a secure loan application that only takes minutes to complete.
2. SIGN CONTRACT ONLINE
Once your profile is approved, you can apply for your loan. Interest rates may vary by state.
3. RECEIVE YOUR FUNDS
You’ll be allocated a unique address on the blockchain to monitor your collateral during the loan term.
Multi-institution Custody Available For Loans
Three independent key holders collaborate to protect collateral. Collateral is stored in multisignature addresses requiring 2-of-3 keys to spend. These keys are held by you (the borrower), Unchained, and a third party key agent. No one person or organization is a single point of failure. Here’s how it works.
You & Unchained
Help Protect Your Own Collateral
Upload a key from your hardware wallet
We use this key to build your loan’s dedicated on-chain address

You & Key Agent
Recover if We’re Unavailable
We plan on helping you protect your wealth for many years.
In the unlikely scenario that Unchained Capital is unavailable, you will be able to recover your collateral by co-signing with our third party key agent.
Unchained & Key Agent
We Help You Protect Your Wealth
If you lose your key, we will co-sign transactions with the key agent to recover your funds.
In tragic circumstances we can work with your estate to recover your funds.
If you default on a loan, we will co-sign transactions with the key agent to liquidate your funds.
Ultimate Guide to Bitcoin Loans
In some ways, bitcoin-backed loans are similar to traditional collateral-backed loans — but there are important differences to consider. We’ve put together a thorough guide that covers everything you’ll want to know.

Example loan terms: a $10,000 loan with a term of one year at an 11.00% interest rate and with a 1% origination fee would have monthly interest payments of $90.41, for a total cost of $1,184.93, with a one-time payment of $10,000 due at maturity of the loan, equating to a 11.92% APR.

What Customers Are Saying
Unchained is UNcomplicated, refreshingly simple. Top-notch customer service. Super cold storage. Unchained conveniently facilitates the efficient use of — otherwise idle — signficiant resources (tax-favorably, in my case). A very good alternative. Truly fantastic.
