About Mountain Protocol
Mountain Protocol Ltd is a Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) Class F-licensed digital asset business issuing USDM, a yield-bearing stablecoin backed 1:1 by short-duration US Treasuries. Founded 2023 by Martin Carrica (ex-Buenbit) and Manuel Pacheco and headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda. USDM rebases daily to pass through net Treasury yield to holders (currently ~4-5% APY net of fees) and is restricted to non-US KYC'd holders. Mountain was acquired by Anchorage Digital (announced November 2023), but continues to operate USDM under its existing BMA license. USDM is one of the first BMA-licensed yield-bearing stablecoins and competes with Ondo USDY, Sky's sUSDS, and Ethena USDe in the yield-stablecoin category.

Revenue methodology & documents
Revenue model: Yield Spread
Mountain Protocol retains a portion of the underlying Treasury yield as protocol revenue. The 50 bps estimate is based on the historical gap between Mountain's published USDM rebase rate and prevailing 4-week T-bill yields. Mountain does not publicly disclose the exact spread; figure should be verified against current FAQ or by tracking the rate differential.
