Funding America (LMFA) refinances $11M Bitcoin-backed loan maturing February 27, 2026

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Funding America, Inc. entered into a new short-term loan as part of its existing Master Digital Currency Loan Agreement with Galaxy Digital LLC. On January 28, 2026, the company borrowed a new $11 million loan and used the proceeds to fully repay a prior $11 million borrowing that had become due.

The new January 2026 loan is secured by Bitcoin owned by the company and is subject to the same overall terms set by the Loan Agreement. This loan will mature on February 27, 2026, effectively extending the company’s $11 million debt for about one month while remaining collateralized by its digital asset holdings.

Insights

Credit & capital structure analyst

Funding America rolls a secured $11M loan for one month, maintaining short-term, Bitcoin-backed leverage.

Funding America, Inc. has refinanced its existing obligation under a Master Digital Currency Loan Agreement with Galaxy Digital LLC. The company used a new $11 million borrowing on January 28, 2026 to repay a prior $11 million loan that had become due on January 30, 2026.

The new January 2026 loan remains secured by Bitcoin owned by the company and follows the terms of the original Loan Agreement. The maturity date is February 27, 2026, so this move mainly extends the same-sized obligation for roughly one month while keeping it collateralized by digital assets.

This structure keeps the company exposed to digital-asset-backed financing, with repayment timing now tied to the late-February due date. Actual financial impact will depend on the company’s ability to repay or further refinance at that maturity under the existing agreement.
