Maestro has launched Mezzamine, a Bitcoin-denominated credit market designed to connect institutional BTC holders with mining firms seeking capital backed by future production.
The platform allows investors to deploy Bitcoin into credit facilities targeting annual yields of 8% to 9%, funded directly by mining output rather than staking or token incentives.
“New Bitcoins are mined every 10 minutes, and with Mezzamine BTC holders can earn and share block rewards with miners,”
Said Maestro co-founder and CEO, Marvin Bertin.
The first programme has been launched in partnership with mining provider Sazmining, enabling miners to access funding to expand hashrate and purchase additional ASIC hardware.
Maestro said the model addresses a key financing gap, as miners typically rely on dollar-denominated debt or equity, exposing them to higher risks during Bitcoin price declines.
The credit facility includes hedging mechanisms tied to Bitcoin prices and mining economics, aiming to stabilise returns and protect against downturns.
By denominating loans in Bitcoin, the structure removes traditional margin call risks linked to dollar-based debt, aligning repayment with mining revenue streams.
The launch comes amid growing institutional interest, with Maestro reporting more than 1,500 BTC in borrowing demand from mining operators exploring alternative financing options.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $73,924.14.
