The infrastructure firm Maestro has launched the Mezzamine platform — a bitcoin lending market. This initiative is aimed at large investors and is designed to enhance financing options for mining companies.
The platform enables BTC holders to allocate funds into credit lines secured by mining, with a targeted annual return of 8–9%. The capital raised will be utilized for purchasing equipment and increasing hash rate, while investor returns will be generated through the mining of new blocks.
The company stated that the product aims to address the issue of miners’ limited access to financing. Currently, the industry primarily relies on dollar loans or equity issuance, which introduces currency risks due to the disparity between revenue in BTC and expenses in fiat.

In this new model, loans are denominated in bitcoins, which mitigates liquidation risks and eliminates currency imbalances. Additionally, hedging mechanisms linked to BTC prices and mining infrastructure metrics are employed.
The platform targets funds, corporate treasuries, asset management firms, and family offices. The minimum entry threshold is set at $100,000 in bitcoins.
Investor returns are generated through mining: the raised funds are directed towards equipment acquisition and hash rate expansion. A portion of the mined rewards is allocated for servicing the credit line, while the remainder is retained by the miners.
The company also noted that there has already been a recorded demand for borrowed funds from miners exceeding 1500 BTC.
Previously, experts from TheEnergyMag platform reported that large mining companies have been actively selling their accumulated bitcoins in recent months, and this trend may intensify in the near future.
