Peoples Reserve has engineered a dual-pathway credit ecosystem that solves the "Hodler’s Dilemma": how to access the purchasing power of your Bitcoin without triggering a taxable sale or losing exposure to future price appreciation. By offering both a Bitcoin Line of Credit (BLOC) and a Bitcoin Bond Line of Credit (BBLOC), we provide tailored liquidity solutions that range from high-leverage tactical capital to ultra-stable, principal-protected credit.

1. The Bitcoin Line of Credit (BLOC): Tactical Flexibility
The BLOC is a dynamic credit facility secured directly by native Bitcoin (BTC) or prBTC. It is the ideal tool for borrowers who want to maintain their direct Bitcoin position while unlocking capital for business expansion, asset acquisition, or operational expenses.
Operational Mechanics
- Standardized LTV: 50% (Borrow up to $0.50 for every $1.00 of BTC collateral).
- Collateral Asset: BTC or prBTC.
- Loan Term: Indefinite. The principal can be carried indefinitely as long as the interest is serviced monthly and the LTV remains healthy.
- Credit Standard: Asset-based lending. No credit checks or income verification are required.
The Risk Management Framework
Because the BLOC is backed by a volatile asset, it features a sophisticated automated safeguarding system:
| LTV Threshold | Status | Action / Description |
|---|---|---|
| 70% | Margin Warning | Proactive notification to the borrower. |
| 75% | Margin Call | Formal request for additional collateral or principal pay-down. |
| 80% | Final Call | Critical risk threshold. |
| 85% | Partial Auto-Liquidation | The system will automatically sell approximately 57% of the collateral to restore the LTV to a stable level of ≤ 65%. |
2. The Bitcoin Bond Line of Credit (BBLOC): The Fortress Facility
The BBLOC represents a paradigm shift in digital asset lending. By borrowing against the par value of the U.S. Treasury (UST) allocation within your Bitcoin Bond, you are accessing credit backed by the world’s most stable collateral.
The Treasury-Backed Advantage
- Efficiency: 100% LTV (1:1 Ratio). You can borrow against the full par value of the UST portion of your bond.
- Liquidation Immunity: Because the loan is secured by the stable UST allocation rather than the volatile Bitcoin price, the BBLOC has zero liquidation risk.
- No Margin Calls: Your Bitcoin exposure remains 100% intact, regardless of "flash crashes" or market downturns.
Operational Mechanics
- Loan Term: Indefinite.
- Security: Treasury-backed notes are principal-protected, ensuring the stability of the credit facility throughout the duration of the bond term.
- Global Availability: Accessible to individuals and business entities worldwide.

4. Decision Matrix: Which Facility is Right for You?
Choose the BLOC if:
- You hold native BTC and do not wish to convert it into a Bond structure.
- You are comfortable managing LTV ratios and responding to market volatility.
- You want the highest degree of flexibility in how you manage your collateral deposits.
Choose the BBLOC if:
- You prioritize security and stability over all other factors.
- You want the highest possible LTV (100% against UST par value).
- You require a credit line for long-term business expenses where a margin call would be operationally disruptive.
