• Helios Finance

  Participated · Equity · Mar 2026

  Helios Finance is building a fully on-chain Bitcoin-backed lending platform combined with a credit card, enabling long-term BTC holders to access real-world purchasing power without triggering taxable events or selling their coins. Instead of wrapping Bitcoin onto other chains, the company keeps a strict “Bitcoin-first” approach, leveraging the MIDL execution layer to provide instant loans collateralized by users’ BTC. Its flagship product, the Helios Reserve credit card, converts dormant Bitcoin into a productive financial instrument, effectively positioning the service as a bank-on-chain. Transparency is maintained through on-chain collateralization, aiming to avoid the rehypothecation issues that plagued earlier crypto lenders. Fresh capital will be directed toward scaling core infrastructure, expanding the engineering team, and accelerating the global rollout of the credit card, for which a waitlist is already open. While no revenue or user metrics were disclosed, the company sees rising institutional interest in “BitcoinFi” as a strong tailwind for product adoption.

  Participated · Seed · Apr 2025

  Sats Terminal provides a decentralized, Bitcoin-centric financial platform through both its flagship application and specialized SDKs. Its first core product, Borrow, launched in January 2026 and lets users post native BTC as collateral to obtain stablecoins across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and Base without surrendering custody. A second product, Earn, is slated for release in March 2026 to give users yield-generating opportunities on their BTC holdings. The team is also finalizing integrations with major wallet providers to widen distribution of its services. Beyond product expansion, Sats Terminal plans to leverage strategic partners to embed its technology in broader crypto ecosystems. The company previously secured a $1.7 million pre-seed round in late 2025 led by Coinbase Ventures and Draper Associates. No operating metrics such as revenue or user counts were disclosed in the article.
