Diamond Hands: Unlock Bitcoin Liquidity Without Selling
For many long-term Bitcoin holders, the strategy is simple: buy, hold, and never sell. But even the most committed “HODLers” sometimes want access to the value locked up in their coins.
It might be the chance to invest in real estate. A once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity. Diversifying into other asset classes. Or simply splashing out on a luxury purchase.
Traditionally, accessing liquidity has meant making compromises.
Sell your Bitcoin: That creates a taxable event in most jurisdictions, often with a large capital gains bill attached - and it cuts off your exposure to Bitcoin’s long-term upside.
Borrow against your Bitcoin: Popular with high-net-worth holders, but most solutions require you to wrap or bridge BTC, or hand it over to a custodian. Wrapping and bridging in many jurisdictions are treated as taxable disposals, while custodial services mean giving up control.
For those with significant Bitcoin holdings, these options don’t feel aligned with the principles of long-term wealth management.
That’s where Diamond Hands by GVNR offers a new path.
The Problem With Current Solutions
Here’s why existing approaches fall short for affluent Bitcoin holders:
Selling BTC: You may free up liquidity for big opportunities, but you also trigger capital gains. Depending on your jurisdiction, that could mean losing 20–40% of your profit to the taxman.
Wrapping or bridging BTC: In around 30 of the top 50 jurisdictions, converting BTC into a wrapped version is treated as a taxable crypto-to-crypto swap. Even in friendlier jurisdictions, the rules are ambiguous, making compliance an administrative headache.
Custodial loans: While simple, these require placing trust in a third party. For those managing significant wealth, counterparty risk is not just unappealing - it’s unacceptable.
Enter GVNR Diamond Hands
GVNR Diamond Hands is designed for Bitcoiners who want to unlock liquidity without compromise.
Native BTC collateral: Your Bitcoin remains Bitcoin - no wrapping, no bridging, no synthetic tokens.
Self-custody preserved: You retain control of your coins throughout.
One-off fee model: Unlike traditional loans, there’s no accruing interest. You pay a single, transparent fee upfront to unlock liquidity.
It’s a smarter, cleaner way to access the wealth tied up in your Bitcoin while continuing to hold for the long term.
Why It Matters
GVNR Diamond Hands introduces advantages that are especially compelling for high volume Bitcoin holders:
1. Tax efficiency
By avoiding disposals (selling, wrapping, or bridging), you minimise the chance of triggering capital gains tax. For large positions, this can mean the difference between keeping millions invested versus losing a significant portion to tax.
2. True sovereignty
With no custodians involved, your Bitcoin remains under your control. This aligns with Bitcoin’s core principle of financial independence - an essential consideration for those managing substantial personal wealth.
3. Predictable borrowing costs
A one-off fee provides clarity. There’s no compounding interest draining your capital over time. You know the cost from day one, making it easier to manage alongside other high-value investments.
4. Stay long BTC
Perhaps most importantly, you preserve your exposure to Bitcoin’s upside while still being able to purchase property, diversify into equities, or fund lifestyle aspirations.
How It Works
Deposit Collateral: Lock up your native Bitcoin as collateral through Diamond Hands.
Pay a one-off fee to open the loan: Your interest is determined and settled upfront and applied over the full term of the loan
Receive liquidity: Mint the Ultimate Collateral Dollar (UCD), a decentralised, Bitcoin-backed stablecoin minted through the GVNR Diamond Hands protocol.
Repay the loan: When ready, simply deposit the loan amount (plus interest) to release your BTC.
Conisder Liquidation: As with any collateralised loan, if Bitcoin’s value falls too far, liquidation can occur.
The structure is simple, transparent, and designed for long-term holders who want the best of both worlds: liquidity today, exposure tomorrow.
