PLEDGE AN INTANGIBLE™
A Pro Se XY PMA Training in Constitutional Money, Trust Collateral, and Lawful Security Interests
Instructor: Brady Art: Pahl© — Authorized Representative for BRADY ANTHONY PAHL©
Jurisdictions Covered: Article I §10, UCC Article 9, Trust Law, Equity Jurisdiction, and Private Membership Contracting.
COURSE PURPOSE
To teach members how to lawfully pledge an intangible—a non-physical right, asset, or chose-in-action—as collateral for credit, private mortgages, PMA-backed loans, or trust funding.
This course is built to shift members from debtor to holder in due course, using private-side remedies, living-issuer status, and constitutional money principles.
MODULE 1 — What Is an Intangible? (Legal + Spiritual + Ledger)
1.1 Legal Definition
Under UCC §9-102(a)(42) and §9-102(a)(49), intangibles include:
  • General intangibles
  • Payment intangibles
  • Software rights
  • Intellectual property
  • Contract rights
  • Digital assets
  • Ledger entries
  • Choses in action (claims)
1.2 Trust Definition
Under trust law, an intangible is property held for the benefit of another, including:
  • Signature energy
  • Birth-certificate-derived interests
  • Bonded estate identifiers
  • NFTTs
  • Stablecoin issuer rights
  • PMA membership data
  • Royalty streams
  • Private IOUs
  • Rights of action in equity
1.3 Constitutional Lens
Article I §10 says only gold and silver coin is money for the states, meaning everything else—including Federal Reserve credit, digital tokens, debits and credits—is inherently contractual.
Thus intangible collateral = contract law collateral.
This opens the door for private parties to pledge:
  • Trademark rights
  • Copyright
  • NFT (minted or unminted)
  • Ledger positions
  • Patent rights
  • PMA membership value
  • A promised performance
  • A “chose in action” (your right to sue)
MODULE 2 — Why Intangibles Are the New Collateral
2.1 The Modern System Is Already Intangible
Banks already accept:
  • Forward contracts
  • Swaps
  • Servicing rights
  • MSRs
  • Portfolio interests
  • Algorithmic IP
  • Credit enhancements
  • Software licenses
  • Tax credits (huge)
2.2 The Maxim of Equity
Equity regards as done that which ought to be done.
Meaning: If you declare an intangible and assign it correctly, equity treats it as vested collateral.
2.3 The PMA Advantage
Inside a PMA, you can:
  • Create a private contract lien
  • Issue private trust certificates
  • Assign membership value
  • Tokenize a right
  • Create internal valuation
  • Use private arbitration
  • Record notice in your UCC system
The PMA becomes the venue where the intangible exists, grows, and is pledged.
MODULE 3 — Forms of Intangible You Can Pledge
3.1 Intellectual Property
  • Trademark (your name, brand, PMA marks)
  • Copyright (content, declarations, books)
  • Patents
  • NFT metadata
  • Digital artworks
  • Algorithms
3.2 Claims + Rights
  • Right to future income
  • Right to sue (chose in action)
  • Right to royalties
  • Equity claims
  • Trust beneficiary rights
  • Reversionary interests
3.3 Digital + Crypto
  • NFTs
  • Metaverse land
  • Tokenized rights
  • Stablecoin collateral pools
  • Ledger identity
  • On-chain trust certificates
3.4 PMA-Based
  • Membership value
  • Tuition rights
  • Consulting rights
  • Future labor (lawfully limited)
  • Community asset valuation
  • Ecclesiastical trust property
MODULE 4 — How to Pledge an Intangible (Step-by-Step)
4.1 Declare the Intangible
A formal declaration of existence.
Template provided below.
4.2 Value the Intangible
You may determine:
  • Replacement value
  • Market analog
  • Income potential
  • Or internal PMA valuation
This is private and lawful.
4.3 Assign It to a Trust or PMA
You must not pledge it as you (God-given person).
You pledge it as Authorized Representative for the legal persona or trust.
4.4 Create a Security Agreement
Required under UCC §9-203(b).
4.5 File or Notice the Interest
Your options:
  1. UCC-1 Financing Statement
  2. PMA Ledger Record
  3. Private County Recording
  4. Blockchain Hash Record
  5. Trust Minute Entry
4.6 Deliver the Collateral
For intangibles, “delivery” is:
  • Execution of assignment
  • Control of digital wallet
  • Transfer of ownership in a ledger
  • Acknowledgment by trustee
