Strike has added more public details for its bitcoin-backed lending product, including a volatility-proof loan option in supported locations. The lending page says volatility-proof loans do not have margin calls and collateral is not liquidated only because LTV rises above 85 percent. Strike's FAQ also lists a 45 percent maximum initial LTV and says availability depends on location.

This matters because bitcoin-backed credit is moving from niche lending desks toward app-based consumer and business products. The product tries to solve one major fear of BTC-backed borrowing: forced price-based liquidation during volatility. The second-order risk is behavioral: removing price liquidation can make borrowing feel safer than it is, while repayment failure, interest cost and collateral custody still matter.

Next, watch default handling, state availability and whether borrowers treat it as liquidity or leverage.
