Panel #13 - Bitcoin is Pristine Collateral
Nolan Nachbar, Levi Johnson

This presentation examines Bitcoin’s viability as institutional-grade collateral through legal, financial, and quantitative lenses. It explores how Bitcoin meets traditional collateral standards—marketability, transferability, and enforceability—under the new UCC Article 12 framework, and models its risk-adjusted loan-to-value ratios using advanced VaR and Cornish-Fisher methods. Drawing on real-world case studies like MicroStrategy and Twenty-One Capital, it concludes that Bitcoin’s liquidity, transparency, and verifiable ownership make it superior collateral in an evolving financial system.
