By Michael Saylor

Preamble

With the right digital assets framework, policies, and leadership, we can enrich our citizens, empower our businesses, dominate the global economy, and pay off the national debt. The economic benefit to the U.S. ranges from $60-100 trillion over the next decade. The spiritual benefit will be enormous and enduring.

Digital Assets — Create a Sound Framework to Catalyze the Crypto Renaissance

The proper digital assets taxonomy eliminates unnecessary confusion, conflict, and controversy while fostering rapid innovation, collaboration, and capital creation. A streamlined approach introduces four new digital asset classes, seamlessly integrating the traditional financial system of securities, commodities, and currencies with the new digital economy. This structure must be elegant, intuitive, and adaptable to accommodate billions of people and millions of companies.

  1. Digital Token - An asset with an issuer, backed by Digital Utility, for Capital Creation & Innovation.
  2. Digital Security - An asset with an issuer, backed by a Security or Commodity, for Capital Efficiency & Globalization.
  3. Digital Currency - An asset with an issuer, backed by Currency, for Digital Commerce & Dollar Supremacy.
  4. Digital Commodity - An asset without an issuer, backed by Digital Power, for Capital Preservation & Appreciation.

Vision — Unleash the Power of the Crypto Industry to Grow the Global Economy

  • Millions of U.S. businesses, artists, influencers, and institutions can quickly access capital markets by issuing Digital Tokens via Digital Exchanges.
  • Thousands of stocks, bonds, ETFs, and commodities can be issued as Digital Securities, circulating 24/7 globally on computer networks and mobile devices.
  • Digital Currencies issued by U.S. companies will ensure the dollar remains integral to global commerce, positioning American issuers as the world’s financial leaders.
  • The dominant Digital Commodity, Bitcoin, will serve as a global standard for capital preservation and appreciation, attracting trillions in capital flows, with the U.S. as the primary beneficiary.

Principles — Become Bankers to the World by Revitalizing Capitalism & Property Rights

  • Issuers must have the right to create and issue assets without requiring prior approval from regulators.
  • Exchanges should have the right to custody, trade, and transfer digital assets seamlessly between clients and other exchanges.
  • Owners should have the right to freely custody, trade, and transfer their assets.
  • All market participants must adhere to:
  • Fair disclosure.Ethical behavior.A commitment to avoiding conflicts of interest.
  • No one has the right to engage in fraud, and all are civilly and criminally accountable for their actions.
  • The industry should be responsible for disclosures and compliance, allowing markets to function organically.
  • Digital assets should move freely over the internet, as swiftly as computational processes allow, without censorship or regulatory obstruction.
  • By establishing superior financial protocols, the U.S. can lead the world in digital finance, attract global capital, and serve as the foundation for the future economy.

Imperatives — End the War on Crypto and Drive the Digital Transformation of the Economy

  • Hostile and unfair tax policies on crypto miners, holders, and exchanges hinder industry growth and should be eliminated, along with arbitrary, capricious, and discriminatory regulations.
  • The government should encourage and provide support for major banks to custody, trade, and finance Bitcoin assets. Debanking of crypto industry participants should not be tolerated.
  • For the industry to reach its full potential, it needs to be recognized as legitimate and treated fairly by the traditional banking, insurance, and financial establishment, as well as government agencies.

  1. Acquire 5-25% of the Bitcoin network in trust for the nation through consistent, programmatic daily purchases between 2025 and 2035, when 99% of all BTC will have been issued.
  2. The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) has the potential to generate $16-81 trillion in wealth for the U.S. Treasury by 2045, offering a viable pathway to offset the national debt.
  3. Never Sell Your Bitcoin! By 2045, the reserve should be generating $10+ trillion annually, continuously growing, and serving as a perpetual source of prosperity for the American people for generations to come.

Many cryptocurrency giveaway scams are fraudulently perpetuated in the name of legitimate companies or well-known figures. I do not conduct or sponsor any giveaways of cryptocurrencies. I will NEVER ask you to send cryptocurrency (or to provide your private crypto-related information) so you can receive cryptocurrency in return. I encourage all individuals to educate themselves on cryptocurrency scams and how to identify them.
