Buy a House with Bitcoin?! Crypto Mortga...

Matt Aitchison
About this episode

Matty A. dives into the world of crypto-backed mortgages, explaining how you can use Bitcoin or Ethereum as collateral to finance a home—without selling your crypto.


Why This Matters

  • Keep your crypto gains intact: Avoid selling and triggering capital gains taxes

  • Faster and easier transactions: Lenders like Milo, USDC.Homes, and Figure offer no-credit-check loans and quick funding

  • FHFA update: Regulators are now exploring crypto as a recognized asset for mortgage applicants at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

How Crypto Mortgages Work

  1. Pledge crypto as collateral (often 100% of loan value or more)

  2. Receive fiat funds for your purchase

  3. Loan repayment in traditional currency — collateral returned when paid in full

  4. Beware of margin calls — if crypto value drops, you may need more collateral

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Preserve crypto upside potential

  • No cash down payment or credit check needed

  • Faster closings than traditional loans

Cons

  • Crypto volatility risks collateral liquidation

  • Platform risk — fewer regulations than banks

Who’s It For?

  • Crypto-holders confident in long-term market growth

  • Buyers wanting fast, streamlined access to liquidity

  • Individuals with thin qualifying profiles for traditional loans

Action Steps

  • Research crypto mortgage lenders: Milo, USDC.Homes, Figure, Ledn, Rocko

  • Prepare documentation: Proof of holdings, escrow/custody procedures

  • Build a cash buffer for margin call scenarios

    • Stay updated: FHFA’s evolving stance, mortgage market trends


    Key Takeaways

    • Crypto mortgages offer a strategic way to leverage digital assets without selling

    • They’re fast, flexible, and tax-efficient but come with volatility and collateral risks

    • With FHFA backing, crypto is beginning to gain real legitimacy in mainstream lending
