Bitcoin continues to dominate headlines, and few explain its role in the financial revolution better than Michael Saylor.

In a recent interview with Coin Stories , the MicroStrategy co-founder shared why he believes Bitcoin is the ultimate digital asset, how it is redefining credit markets, and why periods of bearish sentiment are a natural sign of growth.

Read on to know more.

Bitcoin as Digital Capital and Credit

“Bitcoin is going up faster than the S&P forever, ” Saylor declared, pointing to why he sees the asset as more than just digital gold.

He describes Bitcoin as digital capital because it is outpacing the S&P 500, with a projected growth of about 29% annually for the next 21 years. According to Saylor, this makes Bitcoin the perfect foundation for what he calls digital credit.

Unlike traditional bonds, Bitcoin-backed credit offers higher yields, longer durations, and greater safety, often with over-collateralization of 5 to 10 times. By issuing this kind of credit, Bitcoin transforms into a yield-producing asset with cash flow potential.

This, in turn, amplifies equity returns and draws more capital into the Bitcoin ecosystem, further strengthening the network.

Why Is Strategy Not in the S&P 500 Yet?

Despite leading the way in corporate Bitcoin adoption, Strategy still has not been included in the S&P 500. Saylor explained that entry requires consistent profitability. Even once a company qualifies, the approval process can take several quarters.

He added that Bitcoin Treasury companies represent an entirely new category, unlike Coinbase or Robinhood, which have already been included. This novelty makes the approval process slower.

Entering the Digital Gold Rush

S&P has shown openness to digital assets, having included Coinbase and Robinhood. But Bitcoin Treasury companies are a completely new category. Saylor compares it to the early oil industry, and said, “This is the digital gold rush in the 10 years from 2025 to 2035.”

“There’s going to be a lot of different business models, a lot of different products created and a lot of different companies launched. There’ll be a lot of mistakes made and a lot of fortunes created,” he added.

Why Bitcoin Feels Bearish Right Now

The current market sentiment in Bitcoin is bearish. Saylor explained why this happens and why it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Saylor notes that Bitcoin moves in cycles, rising rapidly, then pulling back to consolidate. So the sideways movement can create frustration. Over the past year, Bitcoin has nearly doubled in value, up about 99%.

Saylor explains that much of the recent Bitcoin selling comes from long-time holders who are “Bitcoin rich but cash poor,” selling small amounts to manage expenses and risk.

As volatility decreases and the market stabilizes, Bitcoin can feel “boring” for a while. People may feel less excitement and appear a bit bearish. But Saylor emphasizes that this calm period is a natural stage in the life cycle of a growing, monetizing asset.
