He believes Strategy \u2014 and other Bitcoin treasury companies likely to follow \u2014 can ultimately accumulate a trillion dollars worth of BTC.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Once there, the mechanics of bitcoin\u2019s long-term appreciation, historically averaging around 21% annually, would supercharge that capital stock.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin-backed credit with favorable yields<\/h2>\n<p>Layered on top of that, Saylor <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/industry-events\/michael-saylor-pushes-digital-capital-narrative-at-bitcoin-treasuries-unconference\">sees new opportunities<\/a> to issue bitcoin-backed credit at yields far superior to the fiat system.<\/p>\n<p>The result, he argues, would be a dual flywheel: a massive store of digital collateral growing in value while simultaneously fueling the creation of digital credit markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unlike today\u2019s fiat-based debt systems, where risk-free rates are often suppressed near zero, Bitcoin-collateralized credit could deliver healthier yields, potentially two to four percentage points above traditional corporate or sovereign debt.<\/p>\n<p>That, in Saylor\u2019s telling, could reinvigorate credit markets worldwide. Instead of investors enduring years of \u201cfinancial repression\u201d in Europe or Japan, where trillions of dollars sit in low-yielding bonds, digital credit backed by Bitcoin would provide stronger returns and greater transparency.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With capital 2x over-collateralized, he says, the system could be safer than even the most conservative AAA corporate debt.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traditional financial means will become indirect Bitcoin vehicles<\/h2>\n<p>Saylor extends the vision beyond credit. As bitcoin becomes embedded in the balance sheets of corporations, insurers, banks, and even sovereign wealth funds, equity indexes like the S&amp;P 500 would gradually become indirect bitcoin vehicles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That shift, he argues, would inject health into equity markets as well \u2014 allowing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DPO8stPDocJ\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">public companies to benefit<\/a> from bitcoin\u2019s compounding growth.<\/p>\n<p>The implications stretch across finance: savings accounts yielding closer to 8\u201310% instead of near-zero; money market funds denominated in bitcoin rather than fiat; insurance products reimagined around bitcoin collateral.<\/p>\n<p>Tech giants like Apple and Google could eventually integrate bitcoin custody and services into their global platforms, pulling hundreds of millions into the digital economy almost overnight.<\/p>\n<p>In this scenario, Bitcoin treasury companies serve as the dynamos powering a new financial architecture \u2014 what Saylor calls the foundation of 21st-century banking, credit, and capital markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The scale could reach tens of trillions in digital credit backed by hundreds of trillions in Bitcoin capital.<\/p>\n<p>The transformation, he says, would create a world that is \u201csmarter, faster, stronger \u2014 10x better\u201d than the current system, with those participating in the Bitcoin economy enjoying vast advantages over those left outside.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of the final full week in September, Strategy <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/markets\/bitcoin-price-rebounds-above-112000-as-strategy-buys-196-more-bitcoin\">added<\/a> 196 bitcoin to its treasury last week for $22.1 million at an average price of $113,048 per coin.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/business\/why-michael-saylor-is-building-toward-a-trillion-dollar-bitcoin-balance-sheet\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Michael Saylor has never shied away from grand visions, but his latest roadmap Strategy\u2019s Bitcoin strategy may be his boldest yet.
