ARCrypto is a private decentralized finance group teaching sophisticated capital how to borrow against crypto, tokenized equities, and stocks without forcing a sale or triggering a recognized disposal.

How can I borrow against my crypto?

On-chain lending markets and centralized providers extend USD or stablecoin loans against Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto collateral, typically at single-digit rates. ARCrypto teaches the structure, liquidation thresholds, and counsel-aware framework.

What is Buy, Borrow, Die?

Buy, Borrow, Die is a wealth-management strategy: buy long-term appreciating assets, borrow against them instead of selling, and pass them to heirs at a stepped-up basis. ARCrypto teaches the on-chain version of the same playbook.

Are these strategies tax-compliant?

ARCrypto describes mechanical features of certain on-chain operations that are not realization events under common interpretations of major-jurisdiction tax law. ARCrypto does not replace tax counsel.

Anchorage Digital

ARCIPEDIA · PLATFORM · CUSTODY

Plain English

Anchorage Digital is the first federally-chartered crypto bank in the US, holding an OCC national trust charter granted in 2021. Founded in 2017 by Diogo Mónica and Nathan McCauley (ex-Square Cash). Targets institutional and HNW custody plus financial services.

How it actually works

National trust charter provides the strongest US regulatory framework available for crypto custody. Hardware Security Modules plus biometric and multi-party access controls. Supports staking for ETH, SOL, ATOM, and other PoS assets within custody. Provides crypto-collateralized loans for institutional clients.

What it means for you

For US-based HNW principals and family offices, Anchorage offers the most-regulated crypto custody option available — equivalent to federally-chartered traditional bank custody. Higher minimums than retail-tier custody but the regulatory comfort is meaningful for institutional reporting and tax positioning.
