Bitcoin is “likely the best collateral one could ask for,” according to Gui Gomes, chief executive officer of OranjeBTC, a Brazil-based Bitcoin treasury company. In an interview with Bitcoin Magazine, Gomes explained how digital credit, Bitcoin-backed loans, and new financial products are pushing Bitcoin deeper into global financial markets — including a first-of-its-kind Bitcoin-backed loan in Brazil — and why every step brings Bitcoin closer to becoming the world’s reserve currency.
He also walked through how OranjeBTC is executing the Strategy playbook — the corporate Bitcoin treasury model popularized by Michael Saylor’s Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy — in Latin America, why Brazil ranks first in grassroots Bitcoin adoption, and how investors worldwide can gain exposure through OranjeBTC and DIGI11.
The interview also situates that expansion within Brazil’s regulatory and macroeconomic backdrop, covering the country’s new Bitcoin regulations — including licensing for virtual asset service providers (VASPs) — alongside its elections and interest-rate environment. On the product side, it traces how the treasury-company model reaches local investors, from DIGI11 delivering its first dividend to bringing instruments such as STRC and SATA to Brazilian markets.
