"Saylor described digital credit as a killer application of digital capital, stating that the conditions for this product category had existed for decades but had never been assembled correctly until now."
"By combining listed public companies, bitcoin as a balance sheet asset, perpetual preferred equity, and a shelf registration with an ATM program, we were able to create something that had never existed before."
"Saylor highlighted the distinction between capital and credit, explaining that capital suits investors willing to endure volatility without cash flows, while credit caters to those seeking steady yield."
Michael Saylor announced at Bitcoin 2026 that Strategy's STRC instrument has grown to $8.5 billion in just nine months. This digital credit instrument aims to capture a portion of the $3.5 trillion private credit market, potentially unlocking $350 billion in digital yield. Saylor emphasized that digital credit, built on bitcoin, represents a significant innovation in financial products. Strategy's holdings of 818,334 bitcoin position it as the largest corporate bitcoin holder, allowing for a unique approach to balancing long-term capital and short-term credit investments.
