This announcement is a considerable investment towards establishing a crypto lending platform and will help provide varieties of liquidity opportunities with crypto and fiat assets.

BitNile Holdings’ Lending Platform

---

Milton “Todd” Ault, the founder and Executive Chairman of BitNile holding, said, “ This is the Company’s first opportunity to expand the lending program around bitcoin, and I am pleased that the lending platform of our licensed financial lender will be offering bitcoin-backed loans to small public companies….”

This statement by Ault gives an insight into BitNile’s plan to expand its mining capability and launch a bitcoin lending platform.

BitNile said it would be expanding its number of miners to 20,600, and the mining production capacity is expected to increase to 2.24 exahashes per second. When the capacity increases, the company will be able to retain about $100 million worth of self-mined bitcoin in reserve.

This reserved bitcoin will be used to back the expansion of BitNile’s lending platform. The lending platform is “Ault Lending,'' It will provide commercial loans powered by DP lending.

It is expected that the funding of the Ault lending platform will occur for two years.

DP lending had started the commercial loan operation before, and in 2021, it reported revenue from lending and trading activities of approximately $17 million. DP lending ended in 2021 with total assets worth about $100 million.


How The Lending Platform Works

---

The Lending platform will deploy bitcoin Layer three technology, which will offer smart contracts to participating companies and borrowers. The participating companies will be able to borrow against their bitcoin holdings.

The layer three protocol that will be deployed is the application layer, and it will allow all participating applications to run on blockchain technology.

The market capitalization of the lending platform is $250 million, and the lending will be to publicly traded companies.

BitNile holdings will roll out the loan plan, and it is expected to range from $1 million to $25 million. The company's goal is to leverage DeFi technology and the buzz around crypto to provide bitcoin-backed funds to these public companies.

The lending platform gives room for the borrowers to repay their loans using multiple methods: fiat, bitcoin, and the common stock of borrowers.

Finally, BitNile will hold the bitcoin on deposit, and it will continue to expand the opportunity to other bitcoin owners who deposit their bitcoin with DP lending.


Conclusion

---

The launch of the lending platform by BitNile is an innovation and the first of its kind. The DP lending of BitNile is different from traditional banks lending.

Traditional banks are expected to hold a substantial amount in their cash reserves, while DP lending only needs to have enough bitcoin reserve on the balance sheet.

BitNile holding has several subsidiaries, and its DP lending subsidiary is in charge of launching the lending platform. It is worth knowing that DP lending has been providing lending services for the past four years but just launching a platform that will provide lending in cryptocurrency (bitcoin).

The lending program is expected to be fully functional by May 2022. It has estimated over $250 million for the program, of which $100 million will be in bitcoin.
