Insights

LM Funding refinances a Bitcoin-secured $11M loan, pushing maturity to August 2026.

LM Funding America continues to rely on its Master Digital Currency Loan Agreement with Galaxy Digital LLC, rolling an existing obligation into a new $11 million loan due on August 28, 2026. The loan remains secured by Bitcoin owned by the company.

This move does not change the principal amount but extends the repayment timeline, indicating ongoing use of crypto-backed borrowing for liquidity. Actual balance-sheet impact will depend on Bitcoin collateral values and any future amendments to the Loan Agreement disclosed in later filings.

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.
Loan Facility financial
"from Lender (the “Loan Facility”)"
A loan facility is a formal agreement with a bank or lender that lets a company borrow money up to a set limit under agreed terms — like a large credit card or mortgage tailored for a business. It matters to investors because it determines how easily a company can get cash for operations, growth or debt repayment, and influences interest costs, leverage and any lender-imposed rules that can affect future strategy and risk.
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.
Ether financial
"including Bitcoin, Ether, and other mutually agreed digital assets"
Ether is the native digital token used to power and pay for operations on the Ethereum blockchain, functioning like fuel that lets programs run and transactions be recorded. Investors watch ether because its price reflects demand for the Ethereum network (similar to how gasoline demand reflects driving activity): changes can signal broader interest in decentralized finance, smart contracts and crypto markets, and affect valuations of related investments.
security interest financial
"and granted to Lender a security interest in Bitcoin collateral owned by the Company"
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 June 26, 2026 on April 6, 2026 by refinancing the Loan with Lender into one or more new Loans under the Loan Agreement.

 

On May 26, 2026, the Company further extended then-existing Loan from June 26, 2026 through August 28, 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 May 2026 Loan will become due on August 28, 2026, is secured by Bitcoin owned by the Company, and is otherwise made under the terms of the Loan Agreement.
