Mezzamine: Institutional-Grade Credit Infrastructure for Bitcoin

Maestro has launched Mezzamine, a Bitcoin-native credit platform engineered for institutions and miners seeking secure, yield-bearing on-chain credit markets.

Built on our enterprise Bitcoin infrastructure, Mezzamine connects idle BTC to sustainable Bitcoin yield, powered by Proof of Work, using secured, over-collateralized credit facilities backed by BTC, hashrate, energy input, and verifiable miner performance. The platform is designed for institutions prioritizing security, transparency, and Bitcoin-native settlement.

Key institutional advantages:

• 1,000 BTC in borrower commits at launch from large, qualified miners. See Dashboard
  

• Fully on-chain credit programs with verifiable miner operations and automated repayment through block rewards.
  

• BTC-denominated lending that removes FX exposure and aligns incentives between capital providers and miners.
  

• Halborn-audited contracts, ensuring every credit program’s smart contracts meet institutional security standards.
  

• A proprietary risk engine simulating profitability, hashrate, and BTC market price to hedge against adverse Bitcoin market conditions.

Mezzamine is designed for treasuries, custodians, miners, and institutions that require operational resilience, strong counterparty assurances, and real-yield built on our premier Maestro infrastructure. 

Mezzamine is the next step in driving Maestro Institutional’s mission: To build the financial rails of tomorrow, utilizing Bitcoin-native, onchain financial infrastructure. Learn more about Mezzamine in our announcement.

➤ Bitcoin.com spotlights Mezzamine as a major step forward in solving “a key inefficiency in the bitcoin ecosystem by bridging the gap between miners’ limited access to growth capital and the vast amount of idle bitcoin that remains unutilized.” The article correctly identifies the $2 trillion in idle BTC waiting to help secure the future of Bitcoin by combating miner centralization and earning a sustainable yield.

➤ Crypto.news featured an Op-Ed from Maestro CEO Marvin Bertin. In the piece, he highlights how institutional entities now hold over 1 million BTC, and “Institutions hold not just ETFs, but actual Bitcoin on their balance sheets, signaling they are not merely interested in exposure but the benefits of on-chain infrastructure.”

➤ Web3 Podcast Maestro CEO Marvin Bertin sat down with Web3 podcast, to dive deep into the shift happening in Bitcoin infrastructure.
