🤝 Silver Sponsor: Surge Bitcoin You built your stack. You shouldn't have to sell it to use it. Surge is a Bitcoin-native credit line that lets you borrow against your Bitcoin without giving up custody. Non-custodial, fully on-chain, collateral secured in a Taproot-based smart vault: verifiable, transparent, never re-hypothecated. Credit the way Bitcoin was meant to work. Meet the Surge team at their booth in Columbus this September. MBS 2026 | Sept 23–24 | Greater Columbus Convention Center, Columbus OH midwestbtc.com | #MBS2026 #Bitcoin #Columbus #Ohio

"So Surge is basically the same as WBTC?" → No ← WBTC is a custodial IOU. Surge keeps your BTC in a Taproot vault enforced by Bitcoin, with unilateral exit. Not your keys, not your coins. That answer is the whole product. Our founder covers this in our weekly newsletter 👇

The reason most Bitcoiners use custodial lenders isn't ideology. It's UX. Non-custodial has been clunky, slow, and more expensive — until it wasn't. Full walkthrough of what changed. Link in replies.

Best week at Bitcoin 2026, Las Vegas. One thing was loud and clear: Bitcoiners don’t trust what they can’t verify. We kept hearing this: “Other lenders here don’t even explain how the BTC is held.” That’s the gap. BlockFi, Celsius, those scars are still real. When we show exactly how it works, on-chain collateral, clear paths, no black box, the conversation changes instantly. → “This is a credit line?” → “Starts at 6.9%?” → “I can verify this?” Strong signal. Back to building. More soon.

Surge is now in public beta 🎉 After months in private beta, Surge is open for anyone to download and try — a Bitcoin-native dollar credit line built for Bitcoiners. We’re already 8 BTC in, and users are actively opening credit lines. It’s credit, not a loan. Download Surge and try it today.

Unilateral exit, or it’s not non-custodial. At Bitcoin 2026, Surge will be speaking on how Bitcoin credit lines can be built with Tapscript: using repayment, liquidation, and time-locked recovery paths directly inside a Taproot tree. The goal: make user protections script-level guarantees, not policy promises. 📍 Workshop & 101 Area 🗓️ Monday, April 27 ⏰ 1:30 PM 🎙️ @yash_belavadi & @michaelborglin Come join us in Las Vegas.

If one verifier failing can create valid-looking collateral, the system isn’t trust-minimized — it’s trust-dependent. This is exactly the failure model threshold MPC signer networks are designed to avoid.

@michaelborglin (Co-founder & CPO at Surge) is headed to the Annual Bitcoin Ski Summit in Jackson Hole (Mar 5–8), an invite-only gathering of Bitcoin operators, builders, and long-term capital in the Tetons. We’re excited to trade notes on bitcoin-native credit: how to unlock liquidity without giving up sovereignty, “don’t trust, verify” all the way down. If you’ll be there, say hi 👋

Our first podcast episode is live! 🚀⚡️ Huge thanks to @PresidioBitcoin for the opportunity and to all the PB members for the incredible support and love you've shown Surge so far. 🎧 Listen in:
Presidio Bitcoin@PresidioBitcoin

Our newest installment of Built in the Presidio is live! Members Yash Belavadi (@yash_belavadi) and Michael Borglin (@michaelborglin) explain why they’re building Surge (@surge_credit) - a non-custodial way to borrow against BTC - and how it works. The conversation also covers why Bitcoin lending keeps drifting back toward centralization, lessons from previous centralized blowups (e.g., BlockFi, FTX), and new tailwinds for the vertical. (0:00) Why Bitcoin lending keeps breaking (1:50) Yash & Michael's backgrounds and pivot into Bitcoin lending (6:30) Why past models failed (13:00) Why now? (regulatory & institutional momentum) (25:35) What Surge is building: roadmap, liquidity bootstrapping, native BTC (31:00) How it works: user journey & safety

Closed beta is rolling: just sent access to our first 21 waitlist OGs from early November. We capped the credit limit intentionally to stress-test with a small, focused group, after solid in-person testing with core Bitcoin folks. More access waves coming, stay tuned. Early believers are the foundation. Never compromise your Bitcoin. 🔒₿
