Rocket Mortgage — Bitcoin Payment Pilot
Bitcoin Mortgages
In 2021, Rocket Mortgage became the first major US mortgage servicer to announce acceptance of Bitcoin for mortgage payments via BitPay, a landmark moment for Bitcoin mainstream finance adoption. While the pilot was limited, the announcement signaled growing willingness among large lenders to integrate Bitcoin into mortgage servicing. Rocket Mortgage has since aligned with FHFA 2025 guidelines applying updated crypto reserve standards across its product line.
