Two Prime’s lending clients include publicly listed names like CleanSpark (CLSK), Hut 8 (HUT), Kindly MD (NAKA) and Fold (FLD). Two Prime attributes its growth to competitive rates and catering to institutions seeking yield and risk management.

CEO and Co-Founder Alexander S. Blume said the firm’s success reflects rising institutional adoption of bitcoin and the demand for sophisticated lending and derivatives solutions in Thursday's emailed announcement.

“As more institutions — including large corporate treasuries, miners, hedge funds, endowments, pensions funds, and sovereign wealth funds — purchase and hold bitcoin, Two Prime has developed sophisticated lending and derivatives strategies to generate risk-adjusted yield for these institutions."
