Saylor published a five-point 'bill of digital rights' on X on Saturday, with the stated goal of enabling 10 million new companies to raise capital.
The five proposed rights cover creation, issuance, custody, transfer and use of digital assets by both individuals and companies.
Strategy resumed Bitcoin buying after a two-week pause, acquiring 950 BTC for $75.7 million at an average of $79,670 per coin.
Strategy's holdings stood at 846,000 BTC, acquired for roughly $63.8 billion at an average cost of $75,416 per coin.
Bitcoin was trading near $84,523 at the time of the original report.
Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor published a five-point "bill of digital rights" on X on Saturday, calling for legal frameworks that let individuals and companies create, issue, hold, transfer and use digital assets without statutory friction.
The proposal frames digital-asset policy as a precondition for the next phase of economic productivity. "Our ambition should be to enable 10 million new companies to raise capital," Saylor wrote.
What are the five rights Saylor is proposing?
The framework rests on five freedoms that Saylor said should apply equally to people and corporate entities:
- Create new digital assets.
- Issue them to the market to finance business and productivity.
- Hold them, or select a custodian to do so.
- Transfer them across individuals, companies, wallets and service providers.
- Use them to spend, invest, earn income and borrow against.
"An asset's value depends on what its owner can do with it. Restrict its usefulness, and you restrict its economic potential," Saylor wrote.
The essay marks an attempt by the most prominent corporate accumulator of Bitcoin to translate a treasury strategy into a policy platform. Strategy disclosed on Monday that it had resumed spot Bitcoin purchases after a two-week pause, acquiring 950 BTC for $75.7 million at an average price of $79,670 per coin.
Why is Saylor pushing for digital-dollar competition?
Saylor tied the rights architecture to a broader argument about displacement he expects from AI-driven automation. As digital intelligence "automates jobs and makes many products obsolete," future prosperity depends on the speed at which new enterprises can form and access capital.
The essay's sharpest policy intervention targets stablecoin and digital-dollar regulation. Digital dollars, Saylor wrote, should be allowed to compete on yield and "move at the speed of light." He urged banks, fintech firms and technology platforms to issue and distribute digital dollars through the devices and applications consumers already use.
"Protecting existing business models while making it difficult to finance their successors leaves the economy poorly prepared for technological change," Saylor wrote, adding: "Where the law prevents it, the law should change."
What is Saylor's track record on Bitcoin?
The policy proposal follows years of accumulated corporate buying by Strategy, the former enterprise-software firm that pivoted its balance sheet toward Bitcoin in 2020. As of the disclosure, Strategy held 846,000 BTC, acquired for approximately $63.8 billion at an average cost of $75,416 per coin. Bitcoin traded near $84,523 at the time of the original report.
The "bill of digital rights" presents that position as a call for legal infrastructure rather than a defense of a single treasury. Whether the framework gains traction in Washington, Brussels or Singapore will test how far Saylor's influence extends from corporate balance sheets into legislative drafting rooms over the coming quarters.
