What if Bitcoin is not just an investment, but the next layer of global capital?

In this Digital Social Hour Episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Michael Saylor at the Bitcoin Conference to talk about Bitcoin, digital capital, STRC, digital credit, AI, stablecoins, inflation, the dollar, and why he believes Bitcoin could continue growing for decades.

Michael explains why he views Bitcoin as scarce digital capital, why its fixed supply makes it different from traditional assets, and how Strategy is using Bitcoin-backed financial products to create new credit instruments like STRC.

The conversation also covers tax-deferred dividends, liquidity, risk-adjusted returns, Sharpe ratios, AI-designed financial products, stablecoins, tokenized assets, Bitcoin mining, stranded energy, inflation, gold, real estate, the U.S. dollar, and why Saylor believes Bitcoin represents the strongest property rights in human history.

Michael also explains why he believes the traditional Bitcoin four-year cycle is losing importance, why demand from credit markets could matter more than miner supply, and why the next era of Bitcoin may be driven by digital credit, digital money, and global adoption.

What if $40 could change someone’s life forever?
