Bank-led Bitcoin custody and regulatory shift
Michael Saylor says the CLARITY Act is stalled, but the SEC, CFTC, and Treasury can still advance digital asset rules under existing law. He expects regulators to craft frameworks that enable traditional banks to expand Bitcoin custody and offer Bitcoin-collateralized loans, which could attract more capital and favor digital credit.
Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, holds hundreds of thousands of BTC, with roughly 40% custodied through Coinbase Custody and additional holdings managed by Anchorage Digital Bank. Saylor argues bank-led custody will open institutional on-ramps for pension funds, endowments and insurers and allow holders to access tax-efficient liquidity without selling positions.
