- Chicago Atlantic BDC, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIEN) operates as a publicly traded business development company focused on providing flexible, long-term debt and equity capital to middle-market companies, with a primary emphasis on privately held cannabis companies and ancillary services businesses; its core investment products include direct senior secured loans, mezzanine debt, second-lien loans, equity investments, and asset-based lending facilities supporting buyouts, recapitalizations, growth initiatives, refinancings, and acquisitions in the cannabis ecosystem, cannabis-enabling technology, health and wellness, hemp, CBD distribution, and select underserved sectors such as healthcare and technology. Founded in 2021 and headquartered at 600 Madison Avenue, Suite 1800, New York, New York, the company targets operators with strong management, sustainable competitive advantages, and clear growth trajectories, generating attractive risk-adjusted returns through disciplined capital allocation and yields averaging above industry benchmarks, such as a weighted average of 16.6% on debt investments as of early 2025. Geographically, Chicago Atlantic BDC serves U.S.-based lower-middle-market enterprises, leveraging proprietary deal flow and industry expertise from offices in Chicago, Miami, New York, and London. In recent developments, the company completed a transformative loan portfolio acquisition from Chicago Atlantic in October 2024, alongside a joint venture with Silver Spike Capital to combine investment management platforms under Chicago Atlantic BDC Advisers, LLC, resulting in net assets of approximately $300 million across 28 portfolio companies, a name change from Silver Spike Investment Corp., a ticker symbol shift to LIEN effective October 2, 2024, and leadership transitions including Andreas Bodmeier as CEO and Dino Colonna as President; additionally, it closed a $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility in February 2025 led by an FDIC-insured institution to support deployment ramp-up, reported record investment activity and strong financials in its Q3 2025 earnings, and maintains management of related entity Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance, Inc. (REFI).
