Best Bitcoin Loan Rates Right Now

Every lender we track, ranked by what a loan really costs: effective APR with origination and admin fees included, not the marketing number. Pulled live from the same database that powers our comparison table.

Checked daily against official sources · Last checked: loading…
The short answer The lowest all-in rates we track currently start in the mid-single digits (variable, via DeFi) with fixed-rate lenders following from the low teens. The ranking below is live. Cheapest is not automatically best: the low end of this list comes with variable pricing or per-offer marketplace terms, and the right lender also depends on custody, loan size, and where you live. The ranking is data, not a recommendation.

1. All Lenders, Ranked by Effective APR

Sorted by the lowest effective APR each lender offers, fees included where disclosed. Marketplace (P2P) entries show the range we observe across live offers, not a quoted price. Click any lender for the full guide with sources.

APRs include origination and admin fees where lenders disclose them. Variable rates move with their reference markets and can change at any time. Lenders can change terms without notice; confirm directly before applying. Sources for every number are on each lender's page.

2. Best by Situation

Rate is one axis. These are the standouts on the axes people actually decide on, based on the same verified data:

Deciding between borrowing at all versus selling? That's its own decision, worked through here. Unsure how a crash would hit your loan? This guide walks one through.

3. Why Cheapest Isn't Always Best

Variable rates can move against you. The lowest numbers on this list are usually variable, set by DeFi market supply and demand. They're real, but the rate you start at is not a promise, and in tight markets variable rates have jumped several points in weeks.

Liquidation thresholds differ more than rates do. A lender that liquidates at 95% LTV leaves you far less crash room than one that acts at 70%, and that difference can matter more than a two-point rate gap. The margin-call and liquidation columns in the main table show each lender's levels.

Custody is part of the price. Who holds your bitcoin, whether it can be rehypothecated, and what happens if the lender fails are questions the APR doesn't answer. Several mid-priced lenders exist precisely because their custody model is stronger than the cheap end's.

Fees hide in different places. Origination fees, admin fees for some jurisdictions, liquidation fees. We fold disclosed fees into the effective APR above, but always read the lender's own fee schedule; ours links from every lender page.

4. How We Rank (Methodology)

The ranking above is lowest effective APR, ascending: each lender's advertised base rate plus origination and admin fees where disclosed, annualized. We verify terms against official lender pages daily with an automated monitor, snapshot every change into a historical dataset, and show the last-checked date at the top of this page. Marketplace lenders (Debifi, Hodl Hodl, Firefish) don't have a quoted rate, so we show the range observed across live offers instead, refreshed the same way. Numbers only enter our database with a source URL attached, and every lender page shows exactly where each figure came from.
