What is Roxom Loans?
Roxom Loans is the collateralized lending engine inside the Roxom platform. It takes digital assets as collateral and issues credit against them. The engine is asset-agnostic by design. Today it accepts BTC, and it is built to expand. The first instrument it powers is the BLOC (Bitcoin Line of Credit). In Roxom, our mission is to build the financial infrastructure for the Bitcoin economy: giving holders real tools to put their BTC to work without giving it up.The vision behind Roxom Loans
The core idea: you shouldn’t have to sell your BTC to access liquidity or to participate in real-world asset yields. The strategic flow Roxom is building looks like this:- You keep your BTC as collateral.
- You take a USDT loan against it.
- You can use those USDT to buy STRC (or any other tokenized equity on Roxom) and earn dividends. This is the same logic that underpins the future Roxom Carry instrument, where the dividend yield helps offset the cost of borrowing.
Product architecture
There are two layers to keep in mind:- Roxom Loans is the product. It is the lending engine.
- BLOC (Bitcoin Line of Credit) is the first instrument inside Roxom Loans.
Roadmap within Roxom Loans
BLOC — Bitcoin Line of Credit (V1)
BTC collateral, USDT loan, open-ended term, no credit check. Live, limited access.
Roxom Carry
Instead of a USDT loan, users receive STRC/SATA tokenized equity exposure. The dividend yield generated by those assets covers the cost of borrowing, creating a net carry paid in BTC. Leveraged exposure to real-world asset yields, collateralized by BTC.
STRC / SATA-Backed Loans
Tokenized equity holdings used directly as collateral. Expands the collateral universe beyond BTC for users already holding Roxom’s asset ecosystem.
API / Institutional access
B2B lending infrastructure for partners building on top of Roxom Loans. Available at a later stage.

Glossary
Quick reference for the terms used across Roxom Loans documentation.| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| APR | Annual Percentage Rate. The annual interest rate on the loan. In Roxom Loans it is currently 7.25% APR (variable). |
| Simple interest | Interest is calculated daily on the original borrowed amount (principal only). Accrued interest is not added to the calculation base, so the daily interest charge stays constant for the life of the loan. |
| LTV | Loan-to-Value. The ratio of your debt to the USD value of your BTC collateral. The main risk indicator of the loan. |
| Accrual | The daily process that adds the day’s interest to the total debt. It runs every 24 hours from the loan creation timestamp. |
| Freeze / Unfreeze | A freeze marks BTC as unavailable while the loan is active. Unfreeze releases it back to your funding account after full repayment. |
| Top-up | Adding BTC to an existing loan to lower the LTV without repaying debt. |
| Margin call | A warning email sent when LTV reaches 70%. The loan stays active, but the user should add collateral or repay to lower the LTV. |
| Waterfall | The order in which a payment is applied: accrued interest first, then principal. |
| Partial liquidation | Automatic sale of the minimum BTC needed to bring LTV back to 65%, triggered at 80% LTV. Non-reversible: BTC sold is not returned if the price recovers afterward. |
| Full liquidation | Sale of the full BTC collateral, triggered when the BTC that would be returned to the user after covering the debt would be below USDT 200. |
