A bank offers a corporate client a choice between borrowing cash at 9% per annum and borrowing Bitcoin at -5% per annum. The risk-free interest rate is 3% per annum, and storage costs are 7% per annum. The interest rates on the two loans are expressed with annual compounding. The risk-free interest rate and storage costs are expressed with continuous compounding. Suppose that the price of Bitcoin is $58,000 and the corporate client wants to borrow $1,160,000. Discuss whether the rate of interest on the Bitcoin loan is too high or too low in relation to the rate of interest on the cash loan. What is the correct rate of interest for Bitcoin loan?

The cost of funds (and the RAROC benchmark) for the commercial bank is 12%. The commercial bank has estimated the risk premium on the loan to be approximately 0.20%, based on three years of historical data. The current market interest rate for loans in this sector is 12.15%. The 99th (extreme case) loss rate for borrowers of this type has historically run at 4%, and the dollar proportion of loans of this type that cannot be recaptured on default has historically been 85%.
