- Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy, proposed a "bill of digital rights" in an essay posted on X Saturday, arguing an AI-driven economy needs protected digital-asset freedoms rather than restrictions.
- The framework outlines five fundamental rights: create digital assets, issue them to market, hold them or choose a custodian, transfer them, and use them to spend, invest, earn income, or borrow — applying to both people and companies.
- Saylor set an ambition to "enable 10 million new companies to raise capital," arguing future prosperity depends on creating new businesses faster than digital intelligence automates existing jobs and products.
- Saylor called for digital dollars to compete on yield and "move at the speed of light," and urged banks, fintechs, and tech platforms to offer them through existing devices and apps — adding "where the law prevents it, the law should change."
- Strategy resumed Bitcoin purchases after a two-week pause, buying 950 BTC for $75.7 million at an average price of $79,670 per coin, per Cointelegraph reporting.
- Strategy's total holdings now stand at 846,000 BTC, acquired for roughly $63.8 billion at an average cost of $75,416 per coin, while Bitcoin traded at about $84,523 at publication.
Why it matters: Saylor is pushing a deregulatory digital-asset vision from a unique perch: he runs the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with 846,000 BTC acquired for ~$63.8 billion at an average $75,416 per coin. His call for digital dollars to compete on yield directly challenges banking incumbents and existing stablecoin models — and frames asset freedom as a prerequisite for surviving AI-driven labor displacement.
