The construction of Bitcoin reserve strategies by enterprises is gaining momentum. Recently, several companies have actively promoted relevant layouts:
At the same time, the potential "battleground" of the pension market is also beginning to take shape. According to reports, the U.S. government is considering opening up channels for cryptocurrency, gold, and private equity investments in the pension market, which manages $9 trillion in assets. If this policy is implemented, publicly traded companies focused on BTC reserves may become popular investment targets.
Against this trend, the business model of Strategy(, formerly MicroStrategy), is moving toward a broader stage. The company recently announced the "BTC Credits Model"( for evaluating the value of Bitcoin-denominated equity. Founder Michael Saylor elaborated on the application and significance of this model in an interview.

Saylor stated that the next business model for Bitcoin reserve companies is to issue securities to purchase Bitcoin. This model is simple yet powerful, and can achieve maximum effect through focused execution. Specifically:
Regarding the BTC credit model, Saylor explained:
Saylor believes that this model can sell high-yield, low-risk securities products to the retirement market. For example:
Saylor emphasized that the core advantage of a Bitcoin treasury company is the issuance of Bitcoin-backed credit instruments. These products will compete with traditional bonds and preferred stocks, offering better credit, lower risk, higher returns, and liquidity.
Regarding the centralization issue of mining pools, Saylor believes that the Bitcoin network is decentralizing globally and there is no need to worry too much. As for the KYC review of exchanges, he stated that this is a national-level issue, not an issue with Bitcoin itself. In the future, there will be more innovations to enhance freedom and privacy.
Overall, Saylor remains optimistic about the future prospects of Bitcoin, believing it offers a promising path to solve existing problems.
