Speaking in Abu Dhabi, the Strategy CEO said nations could use Bitcoin reserves and tokenized credit markets to offer regulated accounts with higher yields. Michael Saylor, CEO of the world’s largest Bitcoin treasury holder, is pushing nation-states to develop Bitcoin-backed digital banking systems that offer high-yield, low-volatility accounts capable of attracting trillions of dollars in deposits. Speaking at the Bitcoin MENA event in Abu Dhabi, Saylor said countries could use overcollateralized Bitcoin (BTC) reserves and tokenized credit instruments to create regulated digital bank accounts that offer higher yields than traditional deposits.  Saylor noted that bank deposits in Japan, Europe and Switzerland offer little to no yield, while euro money-market funds pay roughly 150 basis points, and US money-market rates are closer to 400 basis points. He said this explains why investors turn to the corporate bond market, which “wouldn’t exist if people weren’t so disgusted with their bank account.” Read more
