For those people that we have buyer fatigue, we don't have buyer fatigue.

0:04

We can buy more Bitcoin than the sellers can sell and we're going to take it all.

0:09

Bitcoin could fall 90% but we're still over collateralized and so you still got

0:14

your principle. I think Bitcoin's going to go up about 30% a year from the next 20 years.

0:23

My topic today is uh digital capital, credit, money and banking. And so let's let's start

0:33

with the first topic digital capital. What is digital capital, Bitcoin is digital capital. Um

0:40

gold is metallic capital, real estate is property capital, S&P is equity capital. Why is Bitcoin

0:50

digital capital? First of all, because Donald J. Trump is the Bitcoin president. Donald J. Trump

0:59

says he is intent on making America the Bitcoin superpower, the crypto capital of the world,

1:07

the leader in digital assets. And David Saxs, who works for him, in March of 2025, this year, said,

1:15

"Bitcoin is special. Bitcoin is an asset without an issuer. It is the dominant digital commodity in

1:21

the world. This administration designated Bitcoin is digital gold. And of course, it's not just the

1:29

president. It's the vice president who I've met who said that. It's the secretary of treasury who

1:36

I've met who has said that. It is the head of the SEC who I've met who has said that. It is the head

1:42

of national intelligence Tulsi gar govern who I've met who said that. It's the head of commerce, the

1:49

Small Business Administration, Kelly Laughler, who I've met who said that. It's Bill Py who runs the

1:55

Federal Housing Administration and regulates five trillion or six trillion dollars of home mortgages

2:03

who I met who said that it's RFK who who not that long ago wanted the US government to buy 4 million

2:11

Bitcoin who I met who believes it. It's the incoming head of the CFDC Mike Sullig. It's David

2:18

Saxs himself. The cryptos are and the Bitcoins are. It's Howard Lutnik, the commerce secretary,

2:25

and it's Cash Patel, the head of the MBI. So, you have a profound consensus amongst everyone running

2:34

the United States. And the most important thing is that the United States is the most influential

2:41

financial regulator in the world. And whatever the US banking system does and the US security

2:47

market does ripples through South America, it ripples through Africa, it ripples through Europe,

2:54

it ripples through the Middle East, it goes to Canada, goes to Australia, it even goes to Hong

2:59

Kong. Even the Chinese will copy what the US is doing. So it's very very profound inflection.

3:08

The the other major inflection point is all of the large banks in the United States have

3:13

gone from not banking Bitcoin 12 months ago to in the past six months I have I have noted and

3:22

been approached by By Melon, by Wells Fargo, by Bank of America, by Charles Schwab, by JP Morgan,

3:31

uh by City. they are all starting to issue credit against either Bitcoin or

3:37

against Bitcoin derivatives like IBIT. And so there's a sea change here. Uh Wells Fargo and

3:44

City have both announced intent to allow uh the custody of Bitcoin within the banks and the year

3:51

2026 they'll start to extend credit. And so Wall Street, the banking uh the banking establishment

3:59

and the regulators have all endorsed Bitcoin as digital capital. Where does that take us? Well,

4:07

my company strategy is the world's first uh digital treasury company. And because

4:12

it's digital capital, we have capitalized on it and we have now accumulated 660,624

4:22

bitcoin. including 10,600 yesterday. We announced

4:33

we are uh acquiring at the range of 500 million to a billion a week worth of bitcoin. Uh we've

4:40

now at this point acquired not quite $50 billion of bitcoin which is worth substantially more. Um,

4:51

we're not stopping. For those people that we have buyer fatigue, we don't have buyer fatigue. Uh,

4:59

I I think that we can buy more Bitcoin than the sellers can sell. And we're going to take

5:04

it all and and uh we're going to take it out of circulation. In essence, we're winding up the

5:10

network. We're powering it up like an engine is coiling life uh like a torsion spring of sorts.

5:18

Um and what do you do with all that capital? Um what we've decided to do with that capital is to

5:29

create start creating credit Bitcoin back credit and where we've created the world's first digital

5:35

credit vehicle. In essence, we are going to digitally transform the credit markets by creating

5:44

a veh powered by digital capital. So, the company today is paying out about $800 million worth VPN

5:55

on our digital credit. We have about 76 years worth dividends if Bitcoin goes up 0% a year.

6:04

So I think the Bitcoin reactor has about 76 years of energy. If Bitcoin goes up 1.4% a year,

6:13

we have infinite energy. We can go forever. So that's that's really our our break even point. And

6:20

um why why do we exist? What is the purpose of our company? We exist to transform capital into

6:29

credit. So what is capital? Capital is you have a five-year-old kid and you give them a million

6:38

dollar block of real estate in the middle of New York City. It's just dirt. It's land. There are no

6:44

rents. And you say, "Child, hold that real estate for 30 years and you'll be rich. No cash flows,

6:52

but you have to wait a long time and it's hard to value the real estate." Um, in our particular

6:59

case, we uh maybe in 20 years you can finance the real estate. And if you ever want cash flows from

7:07

it, you have to form a company, get a construction loan, build a building, market the building.

7:13

You're going to have to rent the building, then you'll get cash flow. That's a lot of work for

7:17

a 5-year-old kid. Maybe you don't want to do it. So, there's another thing you could do for

7:24

this child. You could give them a piece of paper and a credit instrument that pays them $10,000

7:29

a month forever. Right? The picture on the right is credit. I'm just going to give you money every

7:35

month forever starting now. Instant gratification. And the picture on the left is capital. I'm not

7:42

going to give you any money for the next 30 years, but if you've got the patience and you can stand

7:47

the wrist and hold your breath, you'll have even more money. So, Bitcoin is digital capital. It's

7:55

volatile. It's going up. How do you create digital credit? The the world is built on capital. All all

8:05

of the blocks of granite underlying Manhattan are the capital. The world is built on capital. The

8:11

world will be built on Bitcoin. But the world runs on credit. You need money now to eat,

8:20

to pay the bills, to pay the rent, to pay for your tuition, to get on an airplane, to live your life.

8:26

And of course, the criticism of a lot of a lot of uninformed skeptics is, well, Bitcoin's not

8:34

an investable asset class because it doesn't have cash flows and we don't know how to value

8:38

it. And they don't believe something's valuable unless it has cash flows. So a treasury company

8:47

that's capitalized on Bitcoin can create that cash flows. And so we're creating the credit in

8:53

order to make this an investable asset class. And what our company does is we convert the digital

9:00

capital the digital credit. Um we we create the currency. So if you have BTC, we convert it to

9:08

USD or we convert it from BTC to euro. We could in theory convert it from BTC to JTY or great British

9:17

pounds. We convert the currency. We strip the risk by overcolateralizing the credit instrument 5 to

9:24

one or 10 to one. Bitcoin could fall 90% but we're still over collateralize. And so you still got

9:31

your principal. That's the credit proposition. If Bitcoin falls 90% and you have the capital,

9:37

you've lost 90% of your money. That's the capital proposition. Strict the risk,

9:43

strip the volatility, convert a 45 ball asset to 20 ball or 10 ball or five ball and then extract

9:52

the yield, pay you 10% dividend yield forever. Now, Bitcoin's going up 45% for the past 5 years.

10:03

So in essence, if you and I believe and I've said this to many many a time, I think Bitcoin's going

10:09

to go up about 30% a year for the next 20 years. So if you have a long time horizon, you shouldn't

10:15

take the 10%. You should take the 30%. But you have to have the stomach for the volatility. And

10:22

most people don't want 30% with 30 B. They want 10% with 10 B or less V. So we distill the yield.

10:30

And then the last thing we do is we compress the duration. Your 5-year-old has to wait 30 years to

10:37

get rich. That's difficult. Your 5-year-old gets money now forever. That's instant gratification.

10:46

We're converting 120 months or 240 months of duration. A 20 a 30-year bond has 240 months

10:54

of duration. If you're an interest investor, we're stripping it down to one month. Paying now.

11:00

And so the way you do that is with a huge pool of equity capital. We have 60 to 70 billion dollars

11:08

of equity capital a day. And then you embed the credit instrument into the equity capital. And

11:15

that's what allows us to build this digital credit. And I'm going to talk about digital

11:19

credit and digital equity, but with an aside. When gold was money and gold was the commodity

11:28

store of value as a world the killer app for gold. It wasn't the gold cash settlement meant I moved

11:36

gold from here to there. The killer app of gold was credit. The Rothschilds created gold back

11:42

credit. The banks created credit. All currency was credit. All sovereign debt was credit.

11:50

All corporate debt was was gold back credit. All consumer debt was gold back credit. All mortgages

11:58

were gold back credit. It used to be the world for hundreds of years ran on gold back credit.

12:04

If we have digital gold, it's very logical that the world's going to run on digital gold back

12:10

credit or digital credit if you will. And how do we get it? Well, if we've got an asset that

12:16

outperforms the S of the index, we just strip off the amount yield you won and then the excess yield

12:24

goes to the common stock shareholders. So, the first digital credit instrument we created was

12:30

uh STRK. We created as a preferred stock. We pay an 8% dividend forever and we give a conversion

12:38

rate into the common shares forever. 100year call option, 100year bond. We took it public

12:46

and we put a shelf registration on it. So the innovations were preferred stock as credit,

12:52

a public instrument, a happy name strike. Sorry, Jack Mers, I just could I'd like the name,

13:00

so I took it, but you could still have it. Strk. And then um we also backed it with digital capital

13:09

Bitcoin. And because it's perpetual, we could sell the instrument in the market any given day.

13:15

So it's like taking the best ideas from an ATS and and adding them for the best idea of a bond,

13:21

the best idea of a common equity, and then putting digital behind it. And then after we did that,

13:28

we thought, why don't we create a perpetual bond that pays 10% dividend yield forever? And we did

13:33

that with Strife, STRF. Uh you would never pay 10% in a bond to build a house or uh to build a a data

13:43

center because it's not going to last 100 years. How do you actually pay someone for 100 years?

13:50

You have to have a use of proceeds that will last 100 years. So we borrow the money forever

13:56

and then we invest the money in Bitcoin forever. We're basically funding the bit. We're investing

14:02

in the digital asset economy forever with money we borrowed forever. We're matching the duration

14:09

because that's a senior instrumented traded way above par and the effective yield is 9%. And the

14:15

idea is that's 9% and investment grade bond is 4%. We had to pay a higher rate because we never

14:25

intended to pay the money back. Right? That's the we're not giving you the money back in 5 years.

14:30

we're giving you the money back in 5 million years. An investor would say, "Pay me more."

14:37

And first we thought that was a bug. Oh, we have to pay more. And then we realized that's a feature

14:43

because I would rather pay 10% forever than 5% for 5 years. You do the math in your head. And if you

14:52

got to repay the principal in 5 years, that's 20% a year plus five, that's 25% financing versus 10

15:00

So if we'd rather pay 10%, who would rather collect 10%. The credit investor. So we created

15:08

the best credit. The credit became the product that's traded up. And after we did it, we thought,

15:15

how can we pay people more? Because Bitcoin is going up more than 9% a year. Bitcoin is going

15:22

up 29% a year. So, how do you actually create a perpetual swap and pay somebody more than

15:28

that forever without credit risk? And the way you do it is you do it with a non-cumulative junior

15:35

preferred stock. We created a the same version of the stock of of strikes, but we stripped away the

15:41

cumulative rate and the governance provision and it trades below par at 80. And that means that the

15:48

effective deal is 12 a.5%. So there's a 3 and a half% credit spread between the senior instrument

15:54

and the junior one. And what that means is if you don't trust anybody in the world, you buy Bitcoin

16:01

and you collect 30%. If you trust the company and you trust Bitcoin, but you don't want uh if

16:10

you have a short time horizon and you don't want to you want cash flows, you would buy STD and you

16:17

would collect 12%. the first 12% of Bitcoin return forever and everything above 12 and a half percent

16:24

goes to the common equity to MSTR shareholders. And then uh if you semirust the company, if you

16:32

kind of think Bitcoin's good and the company's good, but I want to make sure that it's very

16:37

painful for them to ever skip a dividend, you buy STRF. The price to semirust us is you get

16:45

3 and a.5% less yield. The value to trust us is three and a half percent and the val and the value

16:52

you get paid if you have a long time horizon if you're willing to wait 10 years and take nothing

16:57

for 10 years you get paid 30%. And so that's three interesting things. We took the idea of strife and

17:05

then we did it in Europe and we actually created a 100 part that pays 10% in euros for European

17:12

investors and we call that stream. same idea, strife. And then after we've done all those, I'll

17:20

call those digital notes. They're they're like bonds, but they're not bonds, but they're long

17:25

duration digital credit instruments. Generally for P, if you walk down the street and you ask the

17:31

average person, do you want to buy a 30-year bond? Not many people want to buy a 30-year convertible

17:37

bond. But if you said, do you want a bank account that pays you 10%. Everybody wants that. So we

17:44

started thinking how do we strip the volatility, the duration, the delta and the complexity off

17:50

the instrument and we create a stretch STRC and the idea of STRC is we'll just pay a monthly cash

17:57

dividend and try to get it to trade about at par about 100. So if strife is a 20-year bond, Stretch

18:06

is a one-mon T bill, a one-mon Bitcoin bond. Now, this next chart shows you the difference between

18:16

credit and capital. We took Stretch public and and in August 1st, if you bought a $100 at Stretch,

18:25

it would have traded up to about 99. It would have traded up 9% and you would collect $3.70

18:31

worth of dividends. If you would have bought $100 worth of Bitcoin, it would have traded down $23.

18:40

Which is the better investment? Well, over the four months, it's the credit. If you're going to

18:46

hold it four years, it's the capital. Bitcoin is a much better long-term investment, but you wouldn't

18:52

be able to tell from that chart. And if you needed the money tomorrow, you'd want the credit. And so,

18:58

what we're what you can see we're doing is we're straightening out that volatility and

19:03

we're stripping that risk and we're creating that cash flow. Now, remember I told you I had to pay

19:10

more money for the for the preferred credit. That was the bug, but it became the feature. And then

19:17

I said, well, we wanted to take it public. So, we turn it public. It pays a big dividend. It's

19:22

backed by Bitcoin. And inadvertently, we created the most interesting credit instruments in the

19:28

world. These are the most successful preferred stocks ever. Um, and here's one way to see it.

19:36

The average preferred stock trades over the counter. That means it's illegal for you as a

19:41

retail investor to buy it. It's only institutions that can buy it. It's like 37 guys in a back alley

19:48

trading baseball cards with each other. They trade a 100,000 a day. Wide bid ass spreads. It's not

19:56

very good product. If you take them public in Europe or the US, they trade $1 million a day.

20:06

The first credit instruments we created like Strike and Strife and Stride, they trade about

20:13

$30 million a day. So they were 30x more liquid than anything anybody had done before. But then

20:21

people said, "Well, I don't want the volatility. I want monthly. I want it simple. Everything else

20:27

is too complicated." So when we did stretch, we found the right product market fit. And you

20:32

could see the instrument started trading 130 million a day. 100x more interesting. That's

20:39

at the first four months. It became a 100x more interesting. I think this will become hundreds of

20:45

millions then billions of dollars a day. And you can say, well, why doesn't anybody else do this?

20:52

Because the rest of the capital market purchase credit differently. When Apple borrows money,

21:00

they borrow money tactically to finance a a tax arbitrage. When Microsoft borrows money,

21:07

they're borrowing it tactically to finance his data center. When a bank borrows money,

21:12

they're borrowing money to fund a consumer loan business. The money that they're borrowing,

21:20

they want to get as cheaply as possible. It's a tactic in order to improve a product or a service.

21:27

For us, the credit is the product. We're not b we're not trying to minimize the cost of the

21:35

credit or the or the yield we pay. We're actually trying to maximize it and strip the credit risk

21:42

away so we can invest in Bitcoin forever. And so we're an example of a well-run company where

21:52

the credit is the products and the rest of the capital market is full of junk bond issuers and

21:58

and investment grade issuers and bank preferred issuers. The credit is uh the byproducts,

22:05

right? It's a necessity. But if the if the CFO of Microsoft had a preferred stock paid 10%.

22:14

The board of directors would say, "You should call that, retire it, refinance it, and replace it with

22:20

5% money." And so most well-run companies aren't trying to create good credit. They're creating

22:27

crippled credit. Credit is good for the issuer, bad for the investor. And we inadvertently flipped

22:35

that on its head. And we created credit good for the investor. And we didn't actually need the tax

22:42

deduction because we're a treasury company and we would rather pay a higher yield because we wanted

22:48

to invest the money forever in Bitcoin. Nobody else has a use of proceeds to invest in forever

22:55

that's going to go up faster than the asset the index. And so you have to have the right capital

23:01

structure and the right corporate structure. And so I I talked about the bug being the feature. One

23:09

way the bug was the feature was we used preferred stocks. The other thing we did is we took them

23:14

public because over-the-counter markets are very inefficient and the public can't buy them. The

23:20

third thing we discovered is that if we pay the dividends by issuing equity or by selling

23:27

securities or even by selling highly appreciated commodities, the t the dividend we pay is taxree.

23:35

It's tax deferred. That is to say, you get the dividend and then until you've reduced the basis

23:41

in the instrument to zero, you don't pay taxes on it. Now, if you live in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, it

23:48

doesn't matter to you. But if you live in New York City or San Francisco or London or Paris, it does

23:54

matter to you. And so what we did is we created in essence uh tax tax deferred dividends, huge

24:02

amounts of them. And um what does that do to the equity? Right? Our MSDR is digital equity. Well,

24:13

if I issue 10% of my Bitcoin capital is credit each year, I'm actually creating a BTC yield of

24:21

10%. So that means that every seven years I double my Bitcoin per share. So if you want to actually

24:30

hold Bitcoin per share constant, you buy Bitcoin if you or you buy the ETF. But if you wanted to

24:38

double your Bitcoin per share, what you want to do is issue credit instruments and then buy Bitcoin

24:44

back. And you can see here that if we just run a routine amplification, uh, then what we do is we

24:52

2x the 3x our Bitcoin holdings over the period that you would otherwise have the same. So, so

24:59

the way to think of it is MSTR equity is amplified Bitcoin. It's more volatile. It's more performant

25:04

on the downside, the upside. If you're an equity investor and you want 2x Bitcoin, you would buy a

25:12

an equity that's amplified by credit. If you don't trust anybody, you buy Bitcoin, which is a good

25:20

idea. If you uh if you have a short time horizon, you don't like volatility, you buy the credit.

25:28

And now let's let's look at how this breaks down in the world. This is the stretch yield. It pays

25:34

10.8% effective yield. Private credit only pays seven. Junk bonds pay six. Money markets pay four.

25:43

Municipal bonds pay less. The bank doesn't want to give you much of anything. This is the best

25:49

it gets in the entire world. US-based uh credit. The benchmark is sulfur. Sulfur is going to fall.

25:56

When sofur falls from 400 basis points to three, mortgage credit, corporate credit, and junk

26:03

credit is all going to be drawn uh south by 100 basis points. So digital credit's already two to

26:12

four times better. If you're a retail investor or corporation and you pay taxes, the fact that you

26:21

can defer the tax, New York tax, city tax, federal tax, means that buying STRC, buying digital credit

26:30

is like a bank paying you 22% interest on your bank deposits. You see, it's it's off the chart.

26:37

It's four times or five times better than buying a conventional money market. In fact, all digital

26:45

credit is better than all conventional credit. Why? Because the collateral is appreciating and

26:51

it's digital and conventional credit is built on depreciating collapsing collateral whether it's

26:58

a data center or a product or a warehouse. Uh and it's all indexed to uh the risk-free rate which is

27:07

repressed by most central bankers. the, you know, in Japan it's 50 basis points. All the credit is

27:17

tied to 50 basis points. And so digital credit is free market rates. And if you're a tax investor,

27:23

the tax advantage of digital credit is again, do you want 1.5% in Europe or do you want 20%. Our

27:36

objective is really to build out that entire free market yield curve around the world, right? Why

27:43

can't you get paid 10% in any currency everywhere? And you can see all these currencies, right? You

27:53

know, you're getting zero in Switzerland. So the opportunity for treasury companies, ours and other

28:00

treasury companies, and the reason we need Bitcoin treasury companies in Switzerland and in Japan and

28:06

in France and in Great Britain, is because we need companies to accumulate pools of capital

28:13

and issue credit that's that meets regulatory requirements that integrates into the banking

28:19

system that absorbs the currency risk that fixes this yield curve. fixes this savings problem. So,

28:29

if you don't know what you want, you probably want treasury credit. Um, I joke, you know, it takes a

28:38

100 hours for people to understand Bitcoin. So, you go and you orange pill someone, you say,

28:43

"Here's Bitcoin and let me tell you about money and let me tell you why it's not currency and

28:47

why it's a store of value and why the utility is it doesn't matter and why we're going to use it."

28:53

and after 100 hours you decide it's a volatile asset that's better than the S&P and if you don't

28:58

need the money for 4 years you should buy it. But that's a very very difficult educational process.

29:06

This is another educational process. This is a 15-second ad. What it says is if you like money

29:13

and you're not getting paid by your bank, you can get paid 10 or 11% 10% by buying a digital credit.

29:23

Okay, short and sweet. I don't need to explain Austrian economics to you. Like,

29:28

you use electricity and probably not many people know how a nuclear reactor works. You don't care.

29:35

All you know is you want free electricity and you use the iPhone, but you know, not one in in

29:41

10,000 electrical engineers understands the way the codecs work and the chips work, you know,

29:47

in in wireless handsets. Doesn't matter. Creating a great consumer product is the

29:53

way to deliver technology to the world. Digital capital is appreciated by those after 100 hours.

30:01

It's loved by people after a thousand hours. But what's the equivalent of the automobile? What is

30:08

the mass consumer product? Well, here's digital credit. But I'm not going to stop there because

30:15

what I'm going to say is this is a journey of discovery. First I discovered digital capital.

30:21

Then I disco longduration digital credit. Then we discovered short duration digital credit like

30:28

stretch. And now we realize that we can create digital money. And what is digital money? Well,

30:37

digital money is when we start to plug the credit into the traditional finance economy.

30:43

What we think is that digital credit is going to power insurance and pensions and long duration

30:50

liabilities. But we think digital bills uh stretch is like a digital tea bill, a a digital

30:57

short duration instrument. We think it's going to power money. And let me show you what money looks

31:04

like. If you take digital credit, take stretch and you create a fund which is 80% stretch,

31:13

20% currency equivalence, then you've got um a digital money fund that can be buffered against

31:21

instant instant liquidation. If people want to redeem 20% of the fund, you sell the currencies

31:27

instantly without actually putting pressure on the underlying digital credit instrument.

31:33

um the blended rate of that it wouldn't be 10%, it might be nine. Now, if you want to if you

31:42

want to strip all the volatility off it, if you want it the volatility of stretch might be five,

31:48

it might be 10. What if I wanted it to be zero? If you want to strip the volatility, you c the

31:55

the formula and the recipe for digital money is 80% credit, 20% currency, and 10% cash re. So, you

32:04

actually take uh $10 million of cash, $20 million of currency equivalents, like a money market,

32:10

$80 million of stretch, you hold the cash in reserve, and then every day at 400 p.m. you

32:17

just pop up the NAD using the cash reserve. So you trade like a stable coin. You would have $1

32:25

math. Now if you do that, you got zero of all. It's totally backed. You'll probably get about

32:33

an 8% yield. Your sharp ratio. 8% minus 4% divided by infinity or sorry divided by zero. It goes to

32:44

infinity. The sharp ratio goes to infinity because the ball goes to zero. And um and now think about

32:53

this for a second. What could I do with digital money? I could create a digital money coin. I

33:00

can create a what looks like a stable coin. A $1 stable coin. Stable to six significant

33:06

digits that pays you 8% yield tax deferred. tax deferred 8% yield at 12 16% tax equivalent yield

33:18

powered by Bitcoin, right? P digital capital creates digital credit creates digital money

33:25

put in a stable coin instead of a stable coin that pays you nothing or a stable coin that

33:31

pays you 4% taxable. Why not why not a coin that pays you 8%. or more. So, you can actually put

33:40

it in the crypto economy if you want. And we wouldn't do it, but our partners would. So,

33:49

we would actually let a crypto company create that money coin powered by STRC and then they could do

33:58

it. The other thing you can do is create a digital money fund. basically an ETF, a private fund or a

34:05

public fund that pays you 8% with a stable NAV of one, zero volatility. Vanguard could do it,

34:12

Black Rock could do it. Anybody that creates a private fund, a public fund could do it. You

34:17

can take it public, it could trade on any stock exchange. And um anybody can trade in and out of

34:24

it. And then the last idea, why not put it into a bank or a crypto exchange? I'll give you a digital

34:33

money account. And I just put my money in the account and I get 8% daily dividends tax deferred,

34:42

no volatility from my bank. So now you see we can't create digital capital. Satoshi did that.

34:51

You do that. The Bitcoin community creates the capital. The treasury company creates digital

34:56

credit. we're the middle, you know, and then the bank or the crypto exchange or the money manager

35:03

creates the fund, the coin, the attack. And now I want to end with this is my pitch to you.

35:12

If you if you have a country, if you all if you run a nation, if you uh are you interested in

35:18

making your nation the digital banking capital of the world, if you'd like to be the Switzerland of

35:24

the 21st century, then these are the three ideas, the big, the bigger, and the biggest. The big idea

35:34

is you take your sovereign wealth fund and you invest in digital capital, Bitcoin, buy as much as

35:42

you can. Digital credit with your credit portfolio because it pays two to four times the other credit

35:49

you'll digital equity if you want to buy treasury companies because the treasury companies will

35:55

create the credit. That's the first idea. It's a simple idea. Digital capital is growing 30%

36:01

a year. Digital credit's going to pay double your corporate bond or jump bond rates. Digital equity

36:10

is going to outperform Bitcoin if Bitcoin goes up 10% a year. Now, here's the bigger idea. You have

36:17

a bank, have the bank custody Bitcoin, custody crypto, extend credit on it, create digital

36:25

credit. If you create, if you allow a regulated bank in a country to take Bitcoin deposits,

36:33

you have $2 trillion worth of Bitcoin that's not banked. People start wiring you 50 billion or a

36:40

hundred billion dollars of Bitcoin. They create billions of dollars of credit. It pours into your

36:47

economy. You can build all the derivatives, the notes on top of it. This is a $2 trillion idea,

36:54

not a $200 billion idea. And then here's the biggest idea. Create digital money. I take a bank.

37:04

The bank gives you a a digital money account. You just put a billion dollars in the digital money

37:12

account and you collect 8% no volatility from a regulated bank. There's $200 trillion worth

37:20

of money out there. the money from Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Europe, Canada,

37:28

the US, all of Africa, all of South America, all of Russia, all of Ukraine, everywhere on

37:34

Earth. It's all going to come to you wherever you are. Um, what is the perfect product? I used to

37:43

think it was the iPhone, but you have to be awake and you have to be able to see and hold things in

37:49

your hand to use an iPhone. But you could be in a coma. You could be a three-year-old asleep. You

37:59

could be an unborn child. You could be a person yet to be born 10 years from now. You're going to

38:06

want an account that pays you 10% or pays you 400 basis points more than the risk-free rate in the

38:14

currency of your choice. Basically, when I pay you anything more than the risk-free rate, I'm giving

38:20

you money, free money. And there's a word in the English language for universal utility appreciated

38:28

by everyone everywhere that buys anything. And the word is money. So you create digital money,

38:39

the first bank to do it, you won't draw a little bit of Bitcoin. You will actually pull billions

38:45

and then tens of billions and hundreds of dollars and trillions of dollars of capital from people

38:50

that don't understand Bitcoin. I don't got to understand nuclear reactors to know that

38:55

electricity is free in the country. If you give people free money, give them money that's better

39:02

than every other bank on earth, all of the capital in the world will flow into that country, that

39:09

bank. And I think right now UAE is a leader in digital assets. Obviously, they're enthusiastic.

39:17

I think the USA is committed. I just showed you that Donald Trump wants the US to be the leader.

39:24

Everybody else is following the question is who is going to lead the way and it's a combination

39:30

of you have to have commitment you have to have clarity you have to have a bit of courage you have

39:37

to have competence and you have to be an optimist and believe in the future and if you believe that

39:43

there's a digital transformation of banking on capital and we can get people digital bank

39:48

accounts and digital money that makes them wealthy forever ever, right? Then you have a chance to be,

39:55

you deserve to be the digital banking, the banking leader of the 21st century.

40:02

Everybody will follow you and by everybody I mean all the money will come to you. Thank you.
