The direct answer
There is no public evidence that Better (the online mortgage lender) accepts Bitcoin — as collateral, in reserves, or otherwise — as of Sept 2026. If that changes, this page will be updated. Until then, assume the answer is no and plan accordingly (as of Sept 2026 — verify).

FAQ
Does Better accept Bitcoin for mortgages?
No public evidence as of Sept 2026. Check with Better directly for any policy change.
Can I sell BTC and then use Better normally?
Often yes in principle — converted, seasoned fiat funds are standard. But selling is generally taxable, and fund-sourcing rules apply. Confirm both with a tax professional and with Better.
Where should BTC holders start?
