The asset-valuation percentages shown here are illustrative — programs, eligible asset types, and asset valuation percentages are subject to change without notice, and not all applicants will qualify. Eligible assets are divided by 60 months to estimate a qualifying figure; digital assets are reviewed for source of funds under applicable anti-money-laundering rules, and you keep your position — no forced sale of qualifying assets to qualify.

Quick Answer

How do you qualify for a mortgage with cryptocurrency?

A crypto mortgage lets qualified borrowers use their cryptocurrency holdings to qualify for a home loan instead of relying on employment income — with no forced sale of your position to qualify. Lumen's asset-based method counts eligible crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, and U.S.-listed crypto ETFs at an illustrative 50%; dollar-backed stablecoins at 90%), blends it with conventional holdings (cash, CDs, and Treasuries at 100%; brokerage and retirement at 85% when of retirement age), subtracts any cash set aside to close, and divides the remainder by 60 months to estimate a monthly qualifying figure.

Qualify on digital assets, not employment income
Bitcoin, Ethereum & U.S.-listed crypto ETFs counted at ~50%
Dollar-backed stablecoins counted at ~90%
Blend crypto with cash, CDs, Treasuries, and retirement
Eligible assets ÷ 60 months = estimated qualifying income
No forced sale of qualifying assets to qualify; source-of-funds reviewed

Best for: Crypto-rich, income-light buyers in Oregon and California who hold significant Bitcoin, Ethereum, or stablecoins

How It Works

Understanding the Crypto Mortgage Calculator

Some buyers hold real wealth that never shows up on a pay stub — it lives in a crypto wallet. A crypto mortgage lets qualified borrowers use those digital assets to qualify for a home loan, so being income-light on paper no longer stands in the way. The core idea mirrors asset depletion lending: your balance sheet, not your employer, does the qualifying.

This calculator applies Lumen's asset-based method. Eligible crypto is counted after an illustrative asset-valuation percentage — Bitcoin, Ethereum, and U.S.-listed crypto ETFs at roughly 50%, and dollar-backed stablecoins at roughly 90% — then blended with conventional holdings (cash, CDs, and Treasuries at 100%, and brokerage or retirement accounts at 85% when the owner is of retirement age). The blended eligible total is reduced by any funds you set aside to close and divided by 60 months to estimate a monthly qualifying figure. Crucially, you keep your position: there is no forced sale of qualifying assets to qualify, though digital assets are reviewed for source of funds under applicable anti-money-laundering rules.

Enter your crypto and conventional balances to see an estimated qualifying figure, an annualized total, and a full eligible-asset breakdown. Asset-valuation percentages are illustrative and subject to change. Pair this with our DTI calculator to see how the figure supports a payment, then request a personalized review — final eligibility and qualifying income are always set by the underwriter.
