Michael Saylor proposes the vision of "Digital Credit," with Bitcoin building a new three-layer financial ecosystem

Recently, Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor delivered a keynote speech, suggesting that the next stage of cryptocurrency development will be digital credit, meaning the market needs to build a new financial ecosystem based on Bitcoin as the underlying asset.

Saylor outlined a three-layer digital financial system: the first layer is "Digital Capital," which is Bitcoin itself, serving as the cornerstone and foundational asset supporting the entire ecosystem.

The second layer is "Digital Equity," referring to financial products issued with Bitcoin as the underlying asset, such as the perpetual preferred stock STRC issued by Strategy. The goal is to reduce the risks and volatility associated with directly holding Bitcoin while achieving a stable annualized return of over 10%.

The third layer is "Digital Credit," referring to stablecoins and payment tools issued based on the second-layer financial products. For example, some companies have launched pegged stablecoins whose value is supported by U.S. Treasury bonds as the underlying asset.

As financial instruments derived from Bitcoin, digital equity and digital credit are fundamentally different from traditional fiat currencies issued based on national credit. Because the returns and "interest" of these products are derived from the appreciation of Bitcoin's price.

It is noteworthy that since the end of 2025, Saylor has publicly elaborated on this concept multiple times. This also indicates that cryptocurrencies are evolving from simple digital assets into more complex financial engineering products, signaling that the industry will enter a new stage of competition with traditional credit tools.

In summary, as cryptocurrencies evolve from simple digital assets into complex financial engineering products, we have reason to believe that this emerging field will play an increasingly important role in the traditional financial system.

For investors seeking returns, a tool supported by Bitcoin, with volatility comparable to bonds and offering double-digit returns, is opening up a brand new investment model.
