  1. 0:41Those are companies that can go from a billion to a hundred billion or to a trillion, right?
  2. 2:39In the US, in Canada, right?
  3. 4:13So why couldn't you issue 10 billion dollars of Swiss Franc-backed credit?
  4. 4:33Is the brand trusted? Are they laser-like focused?
  5. 6:22But is it just a matter of educating the public that this exists or how do we continue to evolve?
Michael Saylor 0:00 ↗
But for the most part, you're going to have three categories of Bitcoin treasury companies. You're going to have the pure play digital credit issuers that are laser-like focused. Our company, a MetaPlanet, someone like a probably a Strive. I'm going to guess someone with a lot of equity capital that's going to just sell equity and pure credit and they're going to be laser-like focused. They're going to 100x or a 1000x. Those are going to be the screaming equity winners. Those are going to be the next Mag 7 stocks.
Interviewer 0:41 ↗
Right? Those are companies that can go from a billion to a hundred billion or to a trillion, right?
Michael Saylor 0:49 ↗
Then you're going to have the strong Bitcoin players. Maybe they're not the single dominant player in their market, but they're strong Bitcoin. They got a lot of stuff going on. They'll 10x, 20x. You know, they'll be good. They'll win, but they won't be the next Mag 7.
Interviewer 1:10 ↗
Are they issuing credit or what's kind of...
Michael Saylor 1:13 ↗
They'll be like, you know, companies that are very, you know, they buy a lot of Bitcoin and do some, it's not their laser-like 150% focus, but they'll do some and they'll be strong performers.
Interviewer 1:25 ↗
Right?
Michael Saylor 1:28 ↗
And then you'll have companies that just buy some Bitcoin and they'll buy some Bitcoin and they'll have another business and over time, you know, the other business may trade sideways and the Bitcoin will actually support the equity market cap of the company.
Interviewer 1:42 ↗
Yeah. Yeah.
Michael Saylor 1:42 ↗
And so they're the ones that can't lose that, but because they're not 100% focused on Bitcoin, because they have another business, they have other liabilities, they'll, you know, they'll grind up with the S&P and they'll be successful even if their core business doesn't work.
