Overview

A crypto-backed mortgage recognizes your digital assets as part of your financial picture — as reserves, proof of liquidity, or a documented source of down-payment funds — instead of pretending they don't exist. For a growing number of buyers, real wealth lives on-chain: in bitcoin, ethereum, and other holdings that a conventional lender will flatly refuse to consider. A crypto-friendly, non-QM approach closes that gap so your portfolio can help you buy a home.

This is very much a matchmaking problem. Only some lenders accept digital assets, and those that do have real differences in how they verify ownership, how much value they'll count, and whether they want the crypto converted to dollars before closing. Texas and Florida are natural markets for this — both have large holder communities and no state income tax — but the program still has to be sourced carefully. With 120+ lender partners, finding the one that treats your holdings the most favorably is half the work I do for you.

How lenders handle digital assets

Two things drive the underwriting: volatility and provenance. Lenders apply a haircut — counting a conservative percentage of your holdings' current value rather than the full amount — to absorb price swings. And they require a clean paper trail: proof of ownership from exchange or wallet records, and, when crypto is used for the down payment, conversion to U.S. dollars that's then seasoned in a bank account with documentation of the source of funds. Some programs let you keep your position and count holdings as reserves after the haircut; others convert a portion for the down payment. I'll structure it so you liquidate as little as possible while still satisfying the lender.

Who it's for

Crypto-backed mortgages fit long-term holders and investors, early employees paid partly in tokens, and entrepreneurs in the digital-asset space whose wealth is concentrated on-chain. They're most useful when you'd rather not sell your entire position to buy a home, when your traditional income or assets alone won't stretch to the purchase, or when you simply want your portfolio recognized for what it is.
