BTCS Doubles Down on Crypto Leverage with $10M AAVE Loan

BTCS Inc., a company listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker BTCS, has taken out another large loan from the AAVE decentralized finance protocol. On August 21, 2026, the company borrowed an additional $10 million in USDT, bringing its total borrowings to approximately $53 million.

The funds were used to purchase more Ethereum (ETH) and USDC, which were then deployed into liquidity pools through BTCS's Imperium business. This move increases the company's exposure to crypto assets as it seeks to generate yield on its digital holdings.
