Traditional finance is making its move on Bitcoin collateral. Michael Saylor just dropped names of major institutions now offering credit lines backed by BTC.
The list reads like a who's who of Wall Street: Charles Schwab, Bank of America, Wells Fargo. Add BNY Mellon, JPMorgan, and Citi to that roster. Six heavyweight banks stepping into crypto-backed lending territory.
This isn't some fringe experiment anymore. When these legacy players start accepting Bitcoin as loan collateral, it signals a fundamental shift in how institutional finance views digital assets. The rails are being built whether retail realizes it or not.
Saylor's been vocal about institutional adoption for years. Now the infrastructure he predicted is materializing. These banks aren't just holding BTC on balance sheets—they're actively integrating it into credit products.
The implications run deeper than headlines suggest. Crypto-collateralized lending from tier-one banks could unlock liquidity for holders who'd rather leverage than sell. It also cements Bitcoin's role beyond speculation—functioning as actual capital in the traditional system.

Wuhu, the old money on Wall Street has finally given in—BTC-backed loans are really about to take off.

Wait, even those old guys at Bank of America are starting to play with Bitcoin-collateralized loans? Saylor’s predictions are really coming true one by one, it’s a bit scary.

Wall Street is making moves, so Bitcoin might really be making a comeback this time... But wait, are these banks genuinely optimistic or are they just trying to take advantage of retail investors again?
