Observability
price: partialPublished margin schedule, base rate plus tier spread. Sourced 2026-08-07 from fidelity.com/trading/margin-loans/overview: base margin rate 10.575% effective 2025-12-12, with tiers running from 11.825% (1.250% above base) at 0-24,999 down through 11.325% (0.750% above) at 25,000-49,999 to rates below base at the largest balances. Reconstructible from the base-rate series plus archived snapshots (D31). NOT YET INGESTED. The rate is the broker general margin schedule and is NOT bitcoin-specific: the same debit balance is charged the same whether the collateral is a BTC ETP or any other marginable security. What IS bitcoin-specific is the collateral - whether the ETP is marginable and at what maintenance requirement. Publishing this as a "BTC borrow rate" without that sentence would imply a product that does not exist.
quantity: partialMarket-level only, as for every broker in this class: FINRA monthly aggregate margin debt. Security-level is not published by anyone and is declared, not estimated (section 8.1).
composition: noneLoan-level composition is unobtainable in the posted class (section 8.1); a broker publishes no collateral breakdown of its margin book. Collateral is etp_share (section 6.1, D31).
