Michael Saylor Calls for Deeper Bitcoin Integration with Banks and Capital Markets
By

Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
Michael Saylor, Strategy co-founder and executive chairman, argues that Bitcoin needs "disciplined expansion" through deeper integration with banks, companies, securities, credit, and capital markets. He published an essay stating Bitcoin's base layer should be treated as "sacred infrastructure," with most innovation occurring through higher layers, applications, custody systems, credit instruments, and financial infrastructure. His comments come amid spot Bitcoin ETF outflows, a broader market sell-off testing institutional demand, and Strategy's rare BTC sale.
