Would you take out a mortgage backed by bitcoin?

A bitcoin-backed mortgage lets borrowers pledge BTC as collateral rather than sell it to fund a home purchase, potentially deferring taxes and preserving upside. The trade-off is substantial volatility: a sharp price decline can trigger demands for more collateral or forced liquidation, while mortgage payments remain due. The approach therefore links housing finance to Bitcoin market swings and is best suited to borrowers able to withstand losses or post additional collateral.
