Introducing the Liquid Bitcoin Foundation

We are pleased to launch the Liquid Bitcoin Foundation, an independent steward of the Lombard Protocol—the infrastructure enabling Bitcoin Capital Markets onchain.

The Foundation is dedicated to ensuring Lombard’s continuous innovation and supporting the long-term growth of its ecosystem and community. Through governance, grants, and education, the Foundation will play a central role in strengthening Lombard’s infrastructure and advancing the adoption of Bitcoin as capital.

The Role of the Foundation

The Liquid Bitcoin Foundation exists to provide stability, neutrality, and strategic support to the Lombard Protocol. Its work is focused on three key areas:

• Permissionless Innovation with Bitcoin

  We support the people and projects building the future of Bitcoin Capital Markets onchain. This includes research and development of core protocol features, as well as grants, partnerships, and strategic initiatives that expand what is possible with Bitcoin.

• Lombard Ecosystem Growth

  We invest in community education, market research, and targeted programs to expand awareness and understanding of Lombard and its products. By doing so, we aim to encourage responsible adoption across users, developers, and institutions.

• Protocol Stewardship

  As a steward of the Lombard Protocol, we are committed to proposing effective governance frameworks that protect neutrality, ensure resilience, and increase community participation over time.

Our Structure

The Liquid Bitcoin Foundation is incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an Exempted Limited Guarantee Foundation Company. Operating as an independent governance entity, the Foundation’s mandate is to incentivize the growth of the Lombard Protocol, its decentralized network, and the wider ecosystem.

This structure reflects a commitment to long-term neutrality and independence, while ensuring the resources of the Foundation are directed toward the protocol’s sustainable success.

About Lombard

Lombard Finance is building onchain Bitcoin Capital Markets to unlock the full potential of the most important asset of our generation. Lombard pioneered Bitcoin’s integration into DeFi with LBTC, the leading yield-bearing Bitcoin asset secured by a consortium of 14 top digital asset institutions.

LBTC reached $1 billion TVL in just 92 days and became the first Bitcoin LST trusted by blue-chip protocols including Aave, Spark, and EigenLayer. Today, Lombard is developing full-stack infrastructure to accelerate onchain BTC adoption by holders, protocols, and platforms—backed by leading DeFi protocols, institutions, and exchanges.
