Exhibit 3.1

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE BYLAWS OF LM FUNDING AMERICA, INC.

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE BYLAWS OF LM FUNDING AMERICA, INC. (this “Amendment”) is made effective as of December 10, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), and amends the bylaws (the “Bylaws”) of LM Funding America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to Article VIII of the Bylaws, the Bylaws may be amended, altered, or repealed and new Bylaws may be adopted at any meeting of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) by the affirmative vote of the majority of the total number of directors then in office; provided that (a) the Board may not alter, amend, or repeal Sections 2, 11, and 13 of Article III, Article V and Article VIII of the Bylaws without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding voting stock of the Company entitled to vote generally for election of directors represented at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present; and

WHEREAS, the Board desires to amend the Bylaws in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

1.Amendment to Article II, Section 6. Section 6 of Article II of the Bylaws is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Section 6. Quorum. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. If a quorum is not present, either (i) the person presiding over the meeting or (ii) the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, and entitled to vote at the meeting, may adjourn the meeting to another time and/or place. When a specified item of business requires a vote by a class or series (if the Corporation shall then have outstanding shares of more than one class or series) voting as a class, the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum (as to such class or series) for the transaction of such item of business.”

2.Full Force and Effect.  This Amendment shall become effective upon the approval of the Board.  Except as expressly set forth herein, all other provisions of the Bylaws shall remain in full force and effect.  Following approval of this Amendment, the Bylaws shall be restated to incorporate this Amendment.
