I’ve been looking into some of the BTC loan structures that are designed to increase exposure rather than just provide liquidity.

No spare cash to stack more BTC right now, but still bullish. So been looking at ways to increase exposure with the BTC I already hold.

Two that keep coming up are Ledn’s B2X and Nebeus Mirror Loans.
From what I understand both basically use BTC as collateral to increase your BTC position instead of just borrowing cash.

Numbers look roughly like this:

B2X (Ledn)
-BTC collateral only
-50% LTV
-11.9% APR
-repay at the end of the term

Mirror Loans (Nebeus)
-BTC or ETH collateral
-50% LTV
-11.5% APR
-monthly interest payments

Both seem to have around 2% origination fee and 12 month terms. So overall pretty similar structure, but Mirror looks about 0.4% cheaper. Not sure if I'm missing something here.

Anyone here actually used B2X or Mirror Loans? If you're very bullish on BTC would you consider something like this or just stick to holding spot?

PS: yes, I am aware of the “not your keys and avoid CeFi” arguments. Heard it already. Let’s skip that part. Thanks in advnce!  Grin

Lol, stop talking like a wall street tycoon.  Nobody thinks it sounds cool.

So, let me get this straight, you want to borrow money using your bitcoin as collateral so you can buy more more bitcoin?  Along with the "not your keys" and "avoid CeFi" talking points, how about taking one from Wall Street?  Specifically; "never borrow money to invest."  The volatility of bitcoin could ruin you, greed could ruin you.  Do yourself a favor; buy the dips, sell a little at the highs, and keep staking DCA in between.
