Insights

LM Funding rolls over a $11M bitcoin-backed loan, extending its near-term debt maturity.

LM Funding America refinanced an existing loan with Galaxy Digital LLC by taking a new $11 million borrowing and immediately using it to repay the prior balance. The obligation remains secured by Bitcoin owned by the company under a Master Digital Currency Loan Agreement.

This keeps the company’s debt level and collateral structure broadly unchanged, but shifts the due date to June 26, 2026. The arrangement ties leverage to Bitcoin values, so collateral coverage and price volatility remain key risk factors under this loan facility.

Master Digital Currency Loan Agreement financial
"entered into a Master Digital Currency Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Galaxy Digital LLC"
A master digital currency loan agreement is a standard framework contract that sets the rules for lending and borrowing cryptocurrencies or other tokenized assets, similar to a homeowner’s mortgage form used repeatedly with different borrowers. It spells out payment schedules, collateral rules, interest calculations, what happens if a borrower can’t pay, and how digital assets are valued and transferred. For investors, it matters because these standardized terms reduce legal uncertainty, clarify credit and counterparty risk, and help markets scale by making deals predictable and enforceable.
digital currencies financial
"may, from time to time, borrow U.S. Dollars and/or specified digital currencies"
Bitcoin financial
"including Bitcoin, Ether, and other mutually agreed digital assets"
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency and asset that exists only online, created and recorded through a public digital record maintained by many computers worldwide—think of it as a shared spreadsheet that no single person controls. Investors care because it behaves like a high-risk, high-reward store of value and speculative commodity: its supply is limited, its price can swing sharply, and owning it can change a portfolio’s risk, diversification and exposure to market sentiment.
security interest financial
"borrowed the principal sum of $11 million and granted to Lender a security interest in Bitcoin collateral"
A security interest is a legal claim a lender or creditor holds on a borrower's asset as collateral to secure repayment; if the borrower fails to pay, the creditor can seize or sell that asset to recover money owed. Think of it like a pawnshop tag on an item that gives the pawnbroker the right to sell it if the loan isn't repaid. For investors, security interests matter because they change how safely lenders and bondholders can recover funds and affect the hierarchy of claims if a company faces financial trouble.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation

 

As previously disclosed, on October 29, 2025, LM Funding America, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Master Digital Currency Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Galaxy Digital LLC (“Lender”). The Loan Agreement establishes the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, borrow U.S. Dollars and/or specified digital currencies (each, a “Loan”), including Bitcoin, Ether, and other mutually agreed digital assets, from Lender (the “Loan Facility”). As also previously disclosed, on October 30, 2025, the Company made a draw under the Loan Facility and borrowed the principal sum of $11 million and granted to Lender a security interest in Bitcoin collateral owned by the Company. Such $11 million Loan originally became due on January 30, 2026 but was subsequently extended through April 24, 2026 by refinancing the Loan with Lender into one or more new Loans under the Loan Agreement.

 

On April 6, 2026, the Company further extended then-existing Loan from April 24, 2026 through June 26, 2026, by borrowing a new $11 million Loan under the Loan Agreement (the “April 2026 Loan”) and using the proceeds to pay the then-existing Loan. The April 2026 Loan will become due on June 26, 2026, is secured by Bitcoin owned by the Company, and is otherwise made under the terms of the Loan Agreement
