Blockrise launches Secured Lending and Easy Invest

Rotterdam, 9 February 2026 – Blockrise, the MiCAR-licensed Bitcoin platform based in the Netherlands, today introduces Easy Invest and its group activity Secured Lending. Through its group company Blockrise Lending B.V., private and business lenders can earn up to 6% fixed interest on EUR with Secured Lending, backed by bitcoin collateral. Blockrise also introduces Easy Invest, which automates recurring bitcoin purchases for long-term investors. Both services are available immediately.

Secured Lending

Following the successful launch of Bitcoin-backed loans in late 2025, Blockrise Lending B.V. now opens the other side of that market. With Secured Lending, lenders provide EUR to Blockrise Lending and receive a fixed interest rate in return.

Each loan issued by Blockrise Lending is secured by bitcoin collateral held in segregated wallets by Stichting Blockrise, an independent foundation. The collateral is worth at least twice the loan amount at origination and is verifiable on-chain at any time. If the value of the collateral declines, predefined margin call and liquidation protocols protect the lender's position.

Interest rates are currently up to 6% per annum, with a minimum of EUR 100,000. All terms are defined upfront in the term sheet.

The rationale behind the programme is described in the Bitcoin Lending Standards 2026, a paper published by Blockrise earlier this year. It outlines the structural properties that make bitcoin collateral different from traditional forms of security and proposes standards for responsible lending practices in this emerging market.

"After launching bitcoin-backed loans, the most common question from our network was: how do I participate as a lender? Secured Lending is our answer. It is simply EUR in and EUR out, with bitcoin working as collateral in the background. The offering was already there, now we make it public for anyone keen to participate." says Jos Lazet, CEO at Blockrise.

Easy Invest

Automated bitcoin accumulation is now brought to the clients of Blockrise Capital. Clients set up a recurring bank transfer and include a keyword in the payment reference: "autobuy" to convert deposits directly into bitcoin, or "autojoin" to allocate them to the Fundamentals Portfolio, Blockrise's managed bitcoin strategy. Each deposit is executed automatically upon receipt.

The feature is designed for long-term investors who want to build a bitcoin position gradually, without timing the market. Clients can adjust or stop at any time by changing their payment reference, and there are no additional costs involved.

Disclaimers

Secured Lending and bitcoin involve risk. The value of bitcoin can decline, and protective mechanisms do not eliminate the possibility of loss. Secured Lending is not a deposit and is not covered by any deposit guarantee scheme. This service is offered by Blockrise Lending B.V., a group company of Blockrise Capital B.V. Blockrise Lending B.V. is not regulated under MiCAR.
