Michael Saylor Unveils STRC Digital Credit Instrument at Bitcoin 2026, Setting New Benchmark for Bitcoin Finance

Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has long advocated holding Bitcoin on corporate balance sheets. Through its STRC preferred stock, Strategy aims to convert Bitcoin’s capital returns into highly liquid, low-volatility, tax-advantaged “digital credit,” seeking to establish a new market benchmark beyond traditional fixed-income products.

Saylor said at the Bitcoin 2026 conference that STRC had become the world’s largest preferred stock nine months after its launch. Its Sharpe ratio reached 2.7, outperforming Nvidia. He also forecast that Bitcoin could rise to $10 million over the long term and said he hopes to build a digital account offering an annual yield of about 10%.
