Maestro Launches Bitcoin-Native Institutional Credit Market for Mining Infrastructure

Maestro launched Mezzamine on March 17th, 2026, in Austin, Texas, debuting its first live program with the renewable energy provider Sazmining. The Bitcoin-native ( BTC) facility allows institutional holders to finance mining hashrate to earn an estimated 8–9% annual yield backed by real-world infrastructure.

This inaugural program supports Sazmining, which currently operates over 4,000 rigs and achieved 350% year-over-year growth in 2025. The structured credit model mitigates traditional financing gaps by utilizing BTC-denominated liabilities rather than fiat, protecting operators from currency risks during market downturns.

The platform addresses a pipeline of over 1,500 BTC in borrower demand from qualified global mining operators and infrastructure providers. Maestro plans to expand the ecosystem by introducing an onchain secondary market and tradable credit-backed instruments for decentralized capital participation.

“Mining is the only way to generate new bitcoin, and Mezzamine lets us finance that capability in bitcoin itself — no dilution, no fiat liabilities,” stated Kent Halliburton, CEO of Sazmining.
