Arcus
Institutional Bitcoin Yield & Credit

Cover Letter

To Institutional Allocators and Family Offices

We operate a permissioned platform for Bitcoin-native yield and over-collateralized credit. Custody is administered via Fireblocks MPC with programmable policy controls; key lifecycle events are immutably evidenced on Bitcoin Layer 1. Our mandate is principal preservation, operational clarity, and consistent, market-driven outcomes aligned with long-horizon capital.

We welcome a confidential discussion under NDA to review portfolio fit, parameters, and timelines. The following summary provides a concise view of our structure, terms, and governance.

Justin Gaffney, Founder & CEO

Arcus occupies the intersection of conservative risk management and native Bitcoin settlement. We avoid wrapped assets and complex bridges, preferring a direct relationship with the base layer for public verification. Rate formation is market-driven, responding to pool utilization rather than promotional incentives. Liquidation policies prioritize orderly process, transparency, and capital preservation.

The intended audience is institutional: family offices, professional treasury teams, and enterprise partners integrating through our Lending-as-a-Service API. Our team provides dedicated coverage, bespoke reporting, and coordination with governance processes and investment committees.

We believe Bitcoin’s settlement assurances, combined with rigorous operational controls, can support predictable, transparent yield strategies suitable for institutional mandates.
