Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, has been promoting the company's digital credit initiatives and its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. In September 2026, he and CEO Phong Le presented a proposal to amend Strategy's perpetual preferred stocks (STRF, STRC, STRK, STRD) to pay daily dividends instead of semimonthly or quarterly, a change subject to a shareholder vote on October 28, 2026. Saylor argued that more frequent dividend payments would reduce volatility and improve liquidity, describing digital credit as a rapidly growing new asset class. He also stated that Strategy holds more than 840,000 Bitcoin, over 4% of the total supply, and characterized the period through 2035 as a "gold rush" for digital assets. In interviews and investor Q&A sessions, Saylor has addressed concerns about equity dilution and stock drawdowns, arguing that issuing equity is not necessarily dilutive on a Bitcoin-per-share basis and that building a strong credit business will ultimately benefit common shareholders. He has described Strategy's ambition as becoming the "J.P. Morgan of digital assets" and discussed plans to hold larger cash reserves for opportunistic buybacks of credit, stock, or debt. Saylor has also advocated for flexible U.S. policies on digital assets, suggesting that restrictive rules would protect non-competitive legacy institutions at the expense of innovation, and has projected that the crypto economy could grow from roughly $3 trillion to $120 trillion if it reaches 10% of global assets.

“The proposed next upgrade to digital credit is to convert our semimonthly dividends to daily dividends, dramatically increasing the frequency of the cash flows, and we hope dampening the volatility even further and therefore improving liquidity and improving this product so it reaches its full potential in the marketplace.”
“The way that you create low volatility and high liquidity is to shorten the duration of the instrument and to actively manage the credit, either actively managing the dividend rate, actively managing the capital markets activity around it, actively managing the reserves, and the higher the frequency of those adjustments, the lower the volatility of the instrument. Why is digital credit growing so fast? It's because t”
