Wiring more cash is one way to add bitcoin exposure. Borrowing against the bitcoin you already hold is another.
B2X does the second one: your collateral goes into custody, the loan buys an equal amount of bitcoin, and you walk out with roughly double the exposure you walked in with.
That's more bitcoin working for you, and more at stake if the price drops.

Ledn exists because a co-founder watched a currency come apart in real time.
@cryptonomista left Venezuela in 2003, having seen the early tremors of a collapse that would eventually wipe out savings across the country. He started Ledn in 2018.
Bitcoin was the straightforward part. A currency nobody can print more of solves the exact problem he'd lived through. The rest came from watching people take an institution's word for where their money was and lose it anyway.

Three things decide how well you can manage your position during volatility: automated protection, flexible control, real-time visibility.
What a Ledn loan looks like in practice? Bitcoin deposited as collateral. Stablecoins funded in hours. Fixed APR from day one. Collateral never lent out. Repay when ready. Bitcoin comes back.

Moving between bitcoin, gold, or stablecoins used to mean three separate platforms. On Ledn, it's one account, one 0.5% spread, no maker/taker tiers.

Trust compounds slowly. It's worth the wait.
Bitcoin doesn't check your postal code. Neither does a bitcoin-backed loan — the collateral is the only credit check that matters.
URGENT: If you have EVER generated a seed phrase on a ColdCard, your bitcoin may be at risk.
Just recorded this emergency episode explaining what happened with @Rob1Ham of AnchorWatch.
Please watch and share with those in your Bitcoin community, especially other non-technical bitcoiners.

To our clients: Ledn has zero exposure to the Coldcard vulnerability. We don't use that product anywhere in how we custody client bitcoin.
Bitcoin in a Transaction Account is held with BitGo, our multi-sig custodian.
Loan collateral is held with Ledn at BitGo, our funding partners, or our financing vehicle (our investment grade Asset Backed Security).
