Question is confusing. What does it mean to have a fiat loan held in BTC? Do you mean, "Has anyone taken out a loan in fiat in order to buy BTC?"?

I don't understand the question, like many others. "no" is just the safe bet.

Yes, but more precisely it means: do you presently hold bitcoins which have been purchased on credit.

Does that include those who have taken out BTC loans from other Bitcoin users?

Well-known variations include leverage, margin trading, and carry trade.

Anyone who has any sort of debt is essentially taking out a loan to buy BTC if you choose to buy bitcoins instead of paying down that debt.
First seastead company actually selling sea homes: Ocean Builders https://ocean.builders  Of course we accept bitcoin.

I have student loan debt that I would be paying down more quickly if I wasn't dollar cost averaging into bitcoin instead.  Does that count?
