Theya and Arch Partner to Bring Secure Bitcoin-Backed Lending to Businesses

This integration enables businesses to access bitcoin-collateralized loans through Arch, with secure custody at Anchorage and full collateral transparency. No selling, no rehypothecation.

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / Theya, the world's leading Bitcoin self-custody platform, and Arch, the premier Bitcoin-backed lender, now offer businesses transparent, collateralized loans, unlocking USD liquidity from Bitcoin without selling or rehypothecation.

"We're excited to give our businesses access to credit without leaving the Bitcoin ecosystem," said Sriram Karnati, co-founder and CTO at Theya. "Arch's secure, non-rehypothecating lending model provides the assurance and peace of mind that responsible borrowers require."

Arch provides segregated collateral wallets and wallet-level collateral verification, enabling borrowers to confirm that their Bitcoin remains untouched for the loan's duration. Although collateral isn't held in Theya vaults during the term, users can track their Bitcoin collateral directly within Theya.

"Theya users represent some of the most security-conscious and long-term-focused Bitcoiners in the space," said Himanshu Sahay, co-founder at Arch. "Our partnership delivers a compliant, transparent lending experience that maintains rigorous security standards without added risk."

All Bitcoin collateral is held at Anchorage Digital Bank, the first federally chartered Bitcoin bank in U.S. history and a trusted custodian for Bitcoin ETFs. Anchorage combines institutional-grade security with full regulatory compliance, ensuring assets remain safe, visible, and unencumbered.

This comes at a time when Bitcoin users are demanding more transparency and favorable terms. With Arch's loan rates becoming even more favorable and their built-in collateral verification, this partnership comes at the perfect time. The integration will roll out to all Theya business accounts in the coming weeks.
