. Michael Saylor explains why Strategy's real business isn't Bitcoin - it's selling credit to people who want the upside without the bumpy ride "We're like a reserve bank. We have a reserve asset - Bitcoin. We will sell credit. We are stripping the performance and the risk off of the bitcoin." "Bitcoin's got 40 vol and it's got high performance. But most of the world wants zero vol. What they want is a bank account that pays them 10 or 11%." "For every dollar of equity capital of Bitcoin that we have - digital capital - you can create 10 to $0.20 of credit. We've sold about $10 billion of credit. We'll create $20 billion of digital credit over the next year, then grow that 30 to 50% a year."

The Blueprint for a New Financial System Michael Saylor, founder and Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, returns to explain how Bitcoin is transforming global capital markets and redefining the future of wealth creation. Drawing from his background in science and engineering, Saylor breaks down how Bitcoin’s architecture merges technology, economics, and mathematics to create the first truly engineered form of sound money — one that’s reshaping corporate finance, investment strategy, and even national policy. In this conversation, we explore why legacy finance is structurally unsustainable, how overcollateralized digital credit could replace sovereign debt, and why Bitcoin’s “refinery model” may ignite a new era of capital efficiency. Saylor details the evolution from digital gold to digital credit, how MicroStrategy’s innovations are setting the blueprint for Bitcoin-backed balance sheets, and why governments, banks, and investors will ultimately be forced to adopt Bitcoin as the foundation of a new global financial system. Timestamps: 0:00 – Why Bitcoin Is Inevitable 4:12 – How Technology Turned Energy Into Capital 8:27 – Why 99% of Companies Are Locked Out of Capital Markets 12:38 – The “Kerosene” Metaphor: Refining Bitcoin Into Yield Instruments 18:21 – Designing Digital Credit: How It Actually Works 32:55 – How Bitcoin Becomes the Base Layer for Digital Credit 48:12 – Rebuilding Legacy Finance on Bitcoin Infrastructure 56:09 – Turning USD Yield Into Bitcoin Yield 1:12:24 – Why Bitcoin’s Refinery Model Could Spark a New Industrial Revolution 1:24:10 – How Digital Credit Will Outperform Traditional Bonds 1:38:52 – Why Governments and Corporations Will Be Forced to Adopt Bitcoin 1:52:40 – Adapting to Change — Why Relevance Is Earned Daily Note: This interview was recorded with Mark Moss on September 30, 2025, before $STRC, $STRK, $STRD, and $STRF began trading on Robinhood.

“There was never any talk of the risk.” Peter Schiff is just lying at this point. The risk of $STRC was always obvious: it is preferred equity issued by a Bitcoin Treasury Company. Saylor said it clearly: if Bitcoin goes down long term or forever, that is the risk. And what are we seeing now? Bitcoin under pressure. Liquidity rotated into AI and IPOs. Maximum fear. STRC down. That is not some hidden scandal. That is risk premium repricing. Strategy does not magically control STRC’s market price. They can adjust the dividend rate, but the market prices the risk of Bitcoin and Strategy’s ability to keep paying dividends. And when Bitcoin starts going up again, what do you think happens? The same risk premium reprices in the other direction. If you buy preferred equity in a Bitcoin company, you are making one core assumption: Bitcoin goes up over the long term. That was never hidden.

What if we backtested the digital credit / perpetual preferred equity model by inserting it into Bitcoin’s actual price history at the start of 2015? I modeled a hypothetical Bitcoin treasury company with: 1. $100M of common equity 2. $100M of 11% perpetual preferred equity 3. $200M of Bitcoin purchased on day one 4. 2.0x initial BTC coverage on the preferred 5. Up to $100M of additional preferred-funded BTC purchases per year 6. No additional common stock issuance 7. Dividends funded by selling Bitcoin 8. The ability to defer cumulative dividends during periods of weak coverage Then I ran the structure through every Bitcoin boom and crash from January 2015 through September 2026. Bitcoin itself compounded at 59.8% annually over the period. $100M invested directly into BTC became $24.08 billion. The same $100M of initial common equity behind the preferred-funded Bitcoin treasury became $62.87 billion. That is 2.61x the terminal value of simply holding Bitcoin. Modeled common NAV CAGR = 73.4% vs. 59.8% for BTC And this happened despite the company selling 103,729 BTC over the period to fund $770M of cash preferred dividends. When Bitcoin appreciates faster than the cost of the preferred capital, the fixed-dollar claim becomes progressively smaller relative to the asset base. The preferred starts with only 2.0x BTC coverage. By the end of the backtest, coverage reaches 54.1x. The common equity effectively captures the residual convexity. But there is a huge caveat. The modeled common also suffered a 91.2% maximum drawdown. That is the entire game. Perpetual preferred equity changes the time structure of the liability. There is no maturity date forcing the company to refinance or liquidate Bitcoin at the worst possible moment. And if dividends are cumulative but deferrable, management can choose not to sell scarce Bitcoin into a crash merely to satisfy a quarterly cash obligation. You are effectively matching a permanent dollar liability against a scarce monetary asset with historically enormous long-term appreciation, while allowing common equity to own the residual upside. That might be the deepest insight from the backtest. The superpower of digital credit is not leverage. It is time itself.

WHY I AM BUYING STRIVE (ASST) In this video, I walk through my full investment thesis on Strive (ASST), a Bitcoin treasury company with one of the cleanest and most interesting capital structures in the market today. This is not a hype video. This is a long-duration, balance-sheet-driven compounding thesis. I break down: Why ASST’s lack of debt matters more than people realize How SATA (perpetual preferred equity) creates Bitcoin amplification without liquidation risk Why maintaining ~31% amplification dramatically changes long-term outcomes What happens to the common stock under 20%, 25%, and 30% Bitcoin CAGR scenarios How Bitcoin per share compounds quietly over time due to the structure itself What dilution, PIPE overhang, and ATMs actually mean in practice Under conservative assumptions, even the lowest modeled Bitcoin growth scenario produces extreme asymmetry over long time horizons. Higher CAGR scenarios push the equity into territory most investors psychologically struggle to model. No multiple expansion assumed. No debt leverage assumed. No heroic assumptions required. This video is about understanding how time, compounding, and capital structure interact, and why that combination can produce non-linear outcomes if Bitcoin continues to succeed. This is not financial advice. This is how I’m thinking about risk, asymmetry, and survival over the next 10 to 20 years:

I’ve been a Balance Sheet Volatility manager my entire career (12+ years). Below is my presentation at Risk World yesterday. Focused on explaining the similarities of insurance balance sheet risk management to Bitcoin balance sheet risk management. The primary difference: Bitcoin data is more observable, easily accessible, and calculable in real time. This is a feature, not a bug. And btw, there were only about 12 people in the seats, and 2 were my own colleagues. 0:21–0:46 Background in reinsurance and risk 0:46–1:13 How this work changed his perspective on risk 1:13–1:37 Bitcoin as digital capital 1:57–2:42 Insurance, reinsurance, and volatility reduction 6:54–8:08 Turning Bitcoin volatility into a credit instrument 13:50–15:38 Risk modeling, experience rating, and Monte Carlo analysis 17:21–20:06 Monetary debasement and digital credit 20:06–24:22 Digital credit vs. catastrophe bonds

🔥THE DAILY DIVIDEND BOMB: WHY SATA IS BITCOIN'S ULTIMATE SPECULATIVE ATTACK ON THE US DOLLAR🔥 The daily payment frequency of Strive's SATA is a category boundary that converted a preferred stock into a quasi-monetary instrument. SATA is going to function as a Trojan horse into the bond market, letting fixed-income capital finance Bitcoin accumulation without ever having to underwrite Bitcoin. But on top of that, the GENIUS Act, set for full implementation on July 18, 2026, has structurally trapped Tether and Circle in a regulatory cage that SATA-style digital credit operates entirely outside of. This is going to lead to a "milkshake inside the milkshake" framework, where the dollar remains the user interface while the collateral base beneath it migrates from Treasury debt to Bitcoin. This how the emergence of the four-layer capital stack of the emerging monetary architecture is going to play out. Digital capital, digital cash, digital credit, digital equity.
