Better Home & Finance Holding Company (NASDAQ: BETR) accepts Bitcoin (BTC) and USD Coin (USDC) as collateral for conforming home loans through a partnership with Coinbase. This allows borrowers to use digital assets to fund down payments without liquidating them. These, token-backed mortgages are Fannie Mae-eligible and available for home purchases.

Key Details on Token-Backed Mortgages:
- Collateral: Borrowers pledge Bitcoin or USDC held in a Coinbase account instead of using cash for a down payment.
- No Margin Calls: If the value of the pledged Bitcoin drops, no additional collateral is required.
- USDC Rewards: Pledged USDC can earn rewards that may help offset mortgage payments.
- Loan Types: Better provides GSE-conforming, FHA, VA, and jumbo loans, alongside these new digital asset-backed options.
