BitcoinHouse MY on Nostr: A couple in Michigan just bought their first home using Bitcoin as collateral — ...
A couple in Michigan just bought their first home using Bitcoin as collateral — without selling a single sat.
Better and Coinbase closed the first Fannie Mae-backed mortgage where the down payment is secured by pledged BTC through Coinbase custody. No liquidation. No capital gains tax. No margin calls even if price drops. The borrower keeps his decade of Bitcoin holdings intact while unlocking homeownership.
This is Bitcoin maturing into real financial infrastructure. When the US mortgage system — $18.5 trillion deep — starts recognizing Bitcoin as legitimate collateral, it's not just innovation. It's validation. And it opens a question for Malaysians holding BTC: how long before we see similar products here that let you use your Bitcoin without giving it up?
The gap between digital wealth and traditional finance is closing faster than most realize.
