Bitcoin-Backed Digital Money Could Pay 8% Returns, Michael Saylor Reveals
Michael Saylor, Strategy’s Chairman, recently outlined a vision for the future of digital finance, describing 2025 as the year when “Digital Intelligence meets Digital Capital.” In a discussion with Galaxy Digital’s Alex Thorne, Saylor emphasized that artificial intelligence will not simply optimize outdated processes, but will help create entirely new financial products.
He spoke of a future where AI-custodied assets trade quickly and around the clock. He also spoke of it possibly disrupting traditional banking. However, Saylor went on to state that the traditional banking system may have trouble comprehending this shift.
Bitcoin As The Backbone Of Digital Credit
Over the past year, Strategy has been developing the use of digital capital to provide credit. With every $10 of Bitcoin, the company can make $1 worth of digital credit, which significantly reduces risk and volatility.
It is creating the foundation for what Saylor describes as “digital money,” which is stable and provides high yields using Bitcoin. Saylor explained that digital credit facilities such as Strategy’s Stretch, Stride, and Strive have increased from zero to $8 billion over a period of ten months.
The investment in this market yields returns significantly higher than those provided by traditional bank accounts. He also explained that Bitcoin remains integral to this system and helps create value-storing and dividend-paying digital currencies.
Banks, Regulators, and Global Adoption
But Saylor mentioned something unique in terms of the level of support they are getting from regulators in the U.S. and major banks all over the world. Bitcoin Spot ETFs are fully operating now. Banks such as Citi, JPMorgan, and Bank of America are actually giving out credits in the form of Bitcoin and iBit shares. Major players are also researching digital money accounts, which can give returns of as much as 8%.
He explained that it is important to note that this kind of interest is not only seen in the US, but the Middle Eastern countries are equally enthusiastic about it, thus opening a global market for digital currencies.
Currently, over 200 publicly traded firms keep digital currencies in their books, which, according to Saylor, indicates a solid foundation for building a new financial system that is entirely digital.
Looking forward, Saylor believes that digital capital, credit, and money will be at the heart of this transition due to fast transactions, high returns, and expanded access to financial services. Leveraging artificial intelligence, digital assets, and friendly banking systems, 2025 can usher in a massive transition in how the world manages money.
