Why Volatility Protection Matters
Bitcoin markets can move fast—and when you’re borrowing against your assets, those moves can have real consequences.
A sudden drop in price can push your loan toward liquidation, forcing you to sell at exactly the wrong time—locking in losses and missing the recovery.
Volatility protection isn’t optional. It’s the difference between:
Staying in control of your position
Or reacting under pressure as the market moves against you
That’s why SALT builds protection directly into the borrowing experience—with tools like SALT Shield™ and SALT Stabilization designed to help you manage risk, maintain your position, and avoid unnecessary liquidation.
More Room Before Liquidation
SALT believes in enabling our customers to protect their Bitcoin. While other lenders liquidate loans between 65–85% LTV, SALT’s liquidation threshold is 90.91% LTV — giving borrowers significantly more flexibility during market swings.
That means more time to act, more protection against sudden drawdowns, and fewer forced decisions during volatile conditions.
Liquidation Thresholds
- SALT: 90.91% LTV
- Typical Bitcoin Lenders: 65–85% LTV
Higher threshold = greater volatility tolerance

Quick FAQs
What happens if Bitcoin prices drop quickly?
Bitcoin markets can move rapidly. If your collateral value falls, you may be required to add additional collateral or liquidate your assets. SALT’s volatility protection tools — including SALT Shield™ and SALT Stabilization — help you manage your risks.
Do I still make regular loan payments?
Yes — these tools protect your collateral, but you still make your regular loan payments.
Can I combine both SALT Shield™ and SALT Stabilization?
Both tools serve different purposes — Shield prevents sale, Stabilization preserves value once a trigger occurs.
Can I repay my loan early?
Yes. SALT loans can be prepaid early, allowing you to regain full control of your collateral. Early prepayment policies may vary depending on your specific loan terms.
Can I add more collateral to reduce my LTV?
Yes. Borrowers can add collateral to reduce their LTV and strengthen their loan position if market conditions change. Many experienced Bitcoin borrowers maintain extra collateral as a buffer during volatile markets.
Are there tax implications when borrowing against Bitcoin?
Generally, borrowing against Bitcoin does not trigger a taxable event, unlike selling assets. However, tax treatment can vary by jurisdiction and individual circumstances. Always consult a qualified tax professional.
