The Challenge

Back in November 2023, one customer operating a hospitality business in Japan used BTC to bring revenue back on shore to Australia. He wanted to invest in multiple venues — both in Australia and a Japanese ski resort — but discovered that he didn’t want to lose his BTC exposure.
Traditional bank transfers were slow, involved multiple steps, high FX fees, and would have triggered unwanted capital gains, making them an inefficient option for cross-border expansion.

A Crypto-Backed Loan enabled them to:

  • Access capital without selling BTC

  • Secure multiple venues domestically and abroad

  • Maintain full BTC exposure during the loan term
