He said the conditions for this product category had existed for decades, but that no one had assembled the pieces in the right way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDigital credit is a killer application of digital capital,\u201d Saylor told attendees. \u201cBy combining listed public companies, <span>bitcoin<\/span> 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strategy holds 818,334 <span>bitcoin<\/span>, making it <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcointreasuries.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the largest<\/a> corporate <span>bitcoin<\/span> holder in the world. Saylor used that position as the foundation for his argument that <span>bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s returns can be split between long-term capital holders and short-term credit investors seeking steady yield.<\/p>\n<p>The distinction between capital and credit ran through the entire presentation. Capital, Saylor explained, suits investors willing to hold through <span>volatility<\/span> with no cash flows for years at a time. Credit suits those who want a predictable income without managing that risk themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world runs on credit,\u201d Saylor said. \u201cOur company converts capital into credit. We take the <span>BTC<\/span> commodity and convert it into currency. We take risk and overcollateralize to strip it away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/strategy-could-reach-1-million-bitcoin-by-late-2026-river-notes-strc-inflows-dwarf-etf-net-gains\/\">STRC<\/a> is structured around that overcollateralization model. Saylor said a five-to-one collateral ratio means the underlying asset can fall 80% and still leave credit investors fully protected. The capital investor absorbs that loss while the credit holder is insulated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/bitcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bitcoin<\/a> has delivered approximately 38% annual returns over the past five years, Saylor noted, outperforming <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/bitcoin-vs-gold\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gold<\/a>, real estate, and money market instruments. He argued that it creates enough headroom to pay credit investors an 11% yield while the remainder compounds for equity holders.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bitcoin<\/a>\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-volatility\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">volatility<\/a> currently runs around 40. By stripping risk through overcollateralization and active management, Saylor said STRC has compressed that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-volatility\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">volatility<\/a> significantly, with targets to reduce it further. The result is a product that extracts yield within a month rather than asking investors to wait a decade for gains.<\/p>\n<p>Saylor pointed to the private credit market, which he said exceeds $3.5 trillion globally, as the immediate opportunity. He described that market as illiquid, opaque, and largely restricted to qualified investors with high fees. Digital credit, he argued, is liquid, transparent, scalable, and fee-free.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if it captures 10% of the private credit market, that represents $350 billion,\u201d Saylor said.<\/p>\n<p>STRC\u2019s shelf registration has expanded to $21 billion, which Saylor said far exceeds historical norms. The instrument is accessible through major brokerage platforms to retail, institutional, and corporate investors. He added that return-of-capital dividends can be structured for tax deferral, allowing investors to receive income without triggering immediate taxable events.<\/p>\n<p>The longer-term plan, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/michael-saylors-think-bigger-signals-mega-bitcoin-buy-as-global-tension-shakes-markets\/\">Saylor<\/a> said, includes increasing dividend frequency, expanding into ETFs and indexes, and eventually bringing high-yield digital savings instruments to billions of users worldwide.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose my-3 lg:my-4\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col overflow-hidden rounded-lg !bg-[#E8EDFA] p-[9px] md:hidden\">\n<div class=\"relative aspect-video w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[15px]\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"absolute inset-x-0 bottom-0 m-0 p-3 text-xl font-bold capitalize leading-[1.17] tracking-[-0.4px] !text-white\">Strategy Could Reach 1 Million Bitcoin by Late 2026;
