#12 - Michael Saylor on his Digital Assets Framework

Bullish:

• $DIGITALASSETS - Michael Saylor advocates for the tokenization of traditional assets, emphasizing the potential for conveying property rights to 20th-century assets through digital means. He envisions a significant reduction in asset issuance costs and a massive expansion of tokenized assets across various classes, potentially reaching hundreds of trillions of dollars.

  • “What we're talking about is conveying property rights to all of these twentieth century assets that don't currently exist.”

  • “Instead of taking 10 to a $100,000,000 to issue an asset, we move the price or the cost to issue an asset to $10 to a $100,000. Right? Let's change by orders of magnitude.”

• $SMALLBIZ - Michael Saylor advocates for reducing regulatory barriers to enable more businesses, especially smaller ones, to access capital markets. This aligns with his vision for democratizing finance through digital assets.

  • “If you want the industry to come to life, you need to take the regulators off the critical path of issuing assets.”

• $MARKETACCESS - Michael Saylor emphasizes the importance of individual freedom in asset ownership, trading, and custody. He advocates for increased market access and the ability for marketplaces to form capital markets freely.

  • “The real point is people ought to have the freedom to own their own assets or trade their assets or custody their assets. And the marketplace ought to be able to form capital markets.”
