Michael Saylor’s Digital Credit Vision
During the earnings call, CEO Michael Saylor emphasized that Strategy’s main focus is not acquiring other Bitcoin treasury firms but developing a digital credit ecosystem. The company aims to deliver 30% return on capital (ROC) for preferred shareholders while enhancing BTC returns for common shareholders.
Saylor noted that convertible bonds are expected to be fully capitalized by 2029. Strategy also plans to issue new preferred shares internationally, including euro-denominated offerings, while maintaining tax-deferred capital return dividends for at least 10 years.
He stressed a long-term 10-year horizon, stating that patience and conviction are essential to outperform Bitcoin itself.
