BlockSpaces develops a Bitcoin-native collateral and risk management platform called ARCC (Automated Risk and Contract Enforcement) that automates post-trade execution for institutional Bitcoin-backed financial products, enabling banks, credit unions, and capital markets participants to offer Bitcoin-backed loans, forwards, and structured products without manual post-trade processes. ARCC addresses the unique challenges of Bitcoin as collateral: always-on 24/7 markets that trade and settle continuously without trading hours or settlement windows, intraday price movements that evolve collateral risk throughout the day, and Bitcoin's nature as a bearer asset requiring collateral management throughout a contract's lifecycle. The platform provides real-time visibility into contract status, collateralization levels, and execution state across active positions, with exception and threshold awareness that surfaces margin thresholds, risk conditions, and execution events. ARCC can be deployed as a white-label interface or integrated via API into existing institutional workflows, designed to operate alongside origination, risk, and reporting systems without expanding access to core infrastructure. Use cases include Bitcoin-backed loans, BitBonds, Bitcoin forwards, Blockspace forwards, and stablecoins. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Tampa, United States, BlockSpaces has raised approximately $17.2 million at the Series A stage from investors including QED Investors, Leadout Capital, Bolt, GTMfund, and Druid.
