Berglinde

Berglinde is a bitcoin financial services company headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, offering bitcoin-collateralised lending investment products and advisory services to institutional and professional investors. It addresses the difficulty institutions face in obtaining fiat liquidity without selling long-held bitcoin positions.

Loans are always over-collateralised, with collateral held by institutional-grade custodians or on-chain multi-signature arrangements. Collateral ratios are monitored continuously and a controlled liquidation is triggered if levels fall below a predefined threshold. Returns come from borrower interest rather than bitcoin price appreciation, so the strategy is independent of market direction, and capital is spread across several vetted lending platforms. In October 2025 Blockstream Capital Partners acquired Berglinde AG and folded its bitcoin-backed lending business into its own operations.
