Michael Saylor proposed a new "Bitcoin bank" concept: aiming at $20 trillion to $50 trillion in sleeping capital around the world

Michael Saylor recently proposed a financial reform plan for the Middle East at the Bitcoin MENA conference, with the core concept of creating a “zero-volatility, high-yield digital bank account” supported by Bitcoin to attract huge low-yield capital around the world. He pointed out that institutional funds in Japan, Europe, Switzerland and other regions have been trapped in a low-interest rate environment for a long time and lack significant returns, which is an opportunity for Bitcoin to become a new type of financial infrastructure.

Rather than attracting funds from the crypto community, Saylor proposed a design goal to restructure the global sovereign bond and corporate bond markets of $20 trillion to $50 trillion. He emphasized that current investors are forced to choose high-risk credit products simply because traditional bank accounts cannot provide sufficient yields. The solution he proposed is for regulated banks to launch digital accounts with 8% yields, backed by Bitcoin, making them global capital hubs in the new era.

In terms of specific options, Saylor suggests adopting a similar structure to his company: forming an 80% asset, 20% currency allocation, and maintaining 10% reserves with digital credit to offset volatility. In this way, the bank is able to steadily deliver an 8% yield without taking drastic risks. He emphasized that the structure needs to be approved by regulators and can control risk, liquidity and returns by adjusting the reserve ratio, making it a “regulable and scalable new financial product”.

He said that as long as countries such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Bahrain are the first to launch accounts with zero volatility, regulatory compliance, and returns 400 basis points higher than risk-free interest rates, they will automatically become global digital banking centers, attracting tens of trillions of dollars in high-net-worth and institutional capital from Europe, the United States and Japan. Saylor calls it the “ultimate financial product,” with a Sharpe ratio that is theoretically approachable to infinity, symbolizing a kind of “digital financial lightsaber.”

At the same time, Saylor’s theory is directly reflected in the actual operation of MicroStrategy. In the latest disclosed transaction, the company quickly purchased 10,624 Bitcoins through ATM financing, valued at nearly $1 billion, at an average purchase price of $90,600. This is the company’s second-largest accumulation in the second half of 2025, once again demonstrating its long-term strategy of “stock for Bitcoin.”

Overall, Michael Saylor’s “Bitcoin Bank” concept not only attempts to change the positioning of crypto assets, but also attempts to build a new global financial order, treating Bitcoin as the core infrastructure of high-integrity digital capital.
