<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Moody's assigned a Ba2 provisional rating to a $100 million Bitcoin-backed bond issued by a New Hampshire state agency.</li><li>The structure has strict protections, such as a 1.60 times collateral buffer and a 1.40 times liquidation trigger.&nbsp;</li><li>This comes on the heels of Coinbase, Better, and Fannie Mae expanding their Bitcoin-backed lending products.</li></ul>Bitcoin is making deeper inroads into traditional U.S. finance, and now, even state-linked borrowing.&nbsp;Moody's Ratings assigned a Ba2 provisional rating to a $100 million Bitcoin-backed (BTC) bond issuance linked to a New Hampshire state agency.&nbsp;The Business Finance Authority of the State of New Hampshire issued the bonds as part of the Waverose Finance Project. They are fully backed by Bitcoin. Unlike regular municipal bonds, investors will only get their money back from the sale of Bitcoin linked to the deal, not from taxes or government money.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">How The Structure Works</h2>The deal is split into two tranches, Series A-1 and Series A-2. Both have a Ba2 rating and will mature in 2029. The total amount will be $100 million, but the exact amount for each tranche is still being decided.The deal is notable because it is one of the first structured finance products linked to the state and backed by Bitcoin. The proceeds from the bonds will be used to buy Bitcoin, which will then serve as collateral for the loan.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Built-in Safeguards Against Volatility</h2>The issuance includes built-in protections to address Bitcoin's well-known price swings. The deal requires the value of the Bitcoin collateral to remain well above the amount borrowed, with a 1.60x collateral buffer. If that level drops to 1.40 times, the structure automatically sells Bitcoin to pay back investors. Interest payments will also be funded through periodic liquidation of Bitcoin, with no scheduled amortization of principal until maturity.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Investors Get Bitcoin Upside, But Only After Repayment</h2>Moreover, the Series A-2 bonds have a special feature: investors can receive 15% of any increase in Bitcoin's price, but only after all principal, interest, and costs have been paid.This is especially relevant as Bitcoin’s year-to-date performance has been negative, down over 21%.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin’s price</a> was at $68,520, up over 3% in the last 24 hours. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around BTC improved to ‘bearish’ from ‘extremely bearish’ territory, while chatter levels remained ‘low’ over the past day.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_04_01_at_7_33_03_AM_png_0085283f3b.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-04-01 at 7.33.03 AM.png" width="942" height="104"><figcaption>BTC retail sentiment and message volume on April 1 as of 7:33 a.m. ET | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Meanwhile,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MCO">Moody’s stock</a> was&nbsp;marginally higher&nbsp;in pre-market trading on Wednesday.

I was looking to buy more today too. Will be funny if I go down in history as the bear who crashed these stocks,” he said.Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been in focus amid President Donald Trump’s push to support the U.S. housing market, which continues to grapple with a structural shortage of homes, elevated mortgage rates, and high construction costs.

The two were placed into conservatorship after suffering heavy losses during the 2008 mortgage crisis.Burry has been eying the two companies for some time. He previously&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://michaeljburry.substack.com/p/the-toxic-twins-recurrence-fannie">revealed</a> that he had been buying both stocks on the way down, first when they fell to the $6-$7 range and again when they dropped into the $4s.&nbsp;But he tempered his near-term expectations. "I believe the IPO is now a 2027 proposition at best," he wrote earlier. "The Iran War seals it after the lukewarm reception on Wall Street.

Fannie Mae backs approximately $4.3 trillion in mortgages. By pledging cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) or stablecoins like USDC, borrowers can obtain a separate down payment loan through the product, which was introduced by Better Home &amp; Finance (BETR) in collaboration with Coinbase (COIN).&nbsp;These loans have fixed terms and no margin calls as long as borrowers make their payments on time.

Some supporters also believe that crypto-backed loans are faster and more flexible than traditional loans, a product that has a useful link between digital assets and real-world financing.

Bill Ackman Says His $300 Billion Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Plan Remains The Best Idea For 2026

Ackman had earlier said that the emergence of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from conservatorship would generate “more than $300 billion” in additional profit to the Federal government.

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have been in the spotlight throughout the year for several reasons, beginning with the departure of former CEO Diana Reid as William Pulte took charge of U.S. Federal Housing.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Fannie Mae was established in 1938 to enhance mortgage lending in response to the Great Depression.</li><li>Freddie Mac was created in 1970 to broaden the secondary mortgage market and encourage competition.</li><li>They’re still controlled by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), even as Washington debates what their future should look like.</li></ul>Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the two major government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that help keep the U.S. mortgage market running. They guarantee most of the country’s home loans and play a big part in making mortgages easier and cheaper to obtain.For decades, they operated as private, shareholder-owned companies under federal oversight. However, the situation changed during the 2008 financial crisis, when both were placed into government conservatorship. They’re still controlled by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), even as Washington debates what their future should look like.Those discussions resurfaced recently after former President Donald Trump said he is giving “very serious consideration” to taking the companies public again.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Do They Work?</h2>The core job of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is to buy mortgages from lenders such as banks, mortgage companies, and credit unions. They either keep those loans or bundle them into mortgage-backed securities (MBS) that investors can buy. When lenders sell mortgages to the GSEs, they get cash back, which they can use to make new loans.This recycling of capital helps keep mortgage funding flowing and supports the widespread availability of the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, a product not commonly found in many other countries.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Key Differences Between Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac</h2>Though their missions are similar, the two were established at different times and with subtle market differences. Fannie Mae was created in 1938 to enhance mortgage lending during the Great Depression. Freddie Mac followed in 1970 to broaden the secondary market and increase competition.Historically, Fannie Mae has worked more with large commercial banks, while Freddie Mac has sourced more loans from smaller regional banks and credit unions. Fannie's portfolio tends to focus more on single-family homes, whereas Freddie has a more extended history of buying loans tied to multi-unit properties. Regardless of the difference, only loans that meet strict GSE standards, known as conforming loans, qualify for their guarantee.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Is Implicit Guarantee?</h2>For years, investors assumed that if Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac ever ran into trouble, the U.S. government would step in. That unspoken belief, known as the “implicit guarantee,” proved true in 2008 when the Treasury provided about $190 billion to rescue both firms. They paid back those funds by 2014, but they remain under conservatorship, with strict oversight of their capital and dividends.How and when the GSEs might leave government control remain open questions. Trump’s recent comments about potentially taking them public again have pushed the issue back into the spotlight, raising fresh debate about how much risk the private market should bear and what role Washington should play in supporting the mortgage system.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/what-is-purchasing-manager-s-index/cLIrUN7REZr">What Is Purchasing Manager’s Index?</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
