Ledn Launches Private Wealth Division

Major BTC lender Ledn has announced the launch of its Private Wealth program, “a tiered experience with relationship managers, expedited processing, and preferential rates.”

Per the press release shared with Cryptonews, this program is specifically for high-net-worth clients, institutional investors, and corporations that “want to turn long-term Bitcoin holdings into strategic capital.”

The new offering is available to clients with $250,000 or more in active loans. It comes with several key benefits. These include preferential rates on loans over $1 million, direct access to a dedicated Relationship Manager, and “complimentary loan rebalances” when the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio improves.

Moreover, these clients gain accelerated processing of withdrawals, disbursements, and support requests, the team says. Finally, they get access to Ledn’s executive team and exclusive events.

Meanwhile, the company reported increased investor interest in and client demand for tailored credit terms, personalized service, and fast liquidity.

Therefore, the Private Wealth program is “a direct response to this emerging behavior and includes services previously delivered informally to top clients,” the press release says.

Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, co-founder and CSO at Ledn, commented that BTC-backed loans are going mainstream.

“Our most sophisticated clients are using them to fund everything from real estate to new businesses, while keeping upside exposure,” he says. “The Private Wealth program gives them the tools, speed, and trust to operate at scale.”

Ledn says that in the second quarter of 2025, it originated $329 million in BTC-backed loans for retail customers. This is up from $304 million recorded in the first quarter.

Last year, the company reported statistics for Q1 2024, saying it had surpassed all previous quarters since its inception in 2018. It facilitated over $690 million in loans, with $584 million going to institutional clients and $106 million to retail investors.

Then, in Q3 2024, Ledn managed loan transactions of over $506 million. Up to that point, for 2024 year-to-date, it processed $1.67 billion. In the latest press release, the company says it processed a record $2.4 billion in loans in 2024.

Bitcoin isn’t just a HODL game.

It’s collateral.
It’s income.
It’s leverage.

Meanwhile, the launch of the Private Wealth program comes as institutional interest in Bitcoin-backed lending surges.

JPMorgan is looking into crypto-collateralized loans. This is a milestone for the sector. That said, Ledn says that it is ahead of traditional institutions. It has already developed the custody, risk management, and liquidation infrastructure to support BTC-backed credit at scale, it states.

Moreover, crypto-native investors are increasingly adopting “a version of the MicroStrategy playbook: hold BTC, borrow against it, and deploy capital into yield-bearing or growth strategies while preserving upside exposure.”

According to Adam Reeds, co-founder and CEO at Ledn, Private Wealth clients “entrust us with significant portions of their digital assets.”

Therefore, the newly launched program “formalizes our commitment to these valued relationships while creating clear pathways for more clients to access premium services as they grow their holdings,” Reeds concludes.
