Strategy founder Michael Sailer introduced the concept of a "digital asset stack," in which Bitcoin evolves from an asset to the foundation of the global financial architecture. The businessman singled out five levels of this system: basic digital capital (Bitcoin itself), digital credit (BTC-backed debt instruments), digital money (stablecoins with yield), digital return (high-risk leverage), and digital equity (Company securities that accumulate volatility).

Taylor’s core philosophy is that the basic protocol of Bitcoin should not change: networks need no smart contracts or built-in steakhouses. All financial innovation should be built "on top of the first layer." According to the businessman, this tiered structure would attract a wide range of investors - from retirees who need stable "digital money" to banks and corporations that use BTC as collateral and reserves.

Sir believes that tying "digital money" to the dollar will be a necessary bridge between the traditional economy, where commitments are expressed in fiat, and the crypto industry. As a result, Bitcoin will become a base for new-generation bank deposits, securities, and payment networks, which will boost demand for it. Recall that Strategy itself continues to build up reserves: from 8 to 14 June, the company acquired 1587 BTC for $100 million.
