Strategy’s official X account posted a video of Executive Chairman Michael Saylor from the company’s second-quarter earnings call, where he laid out the firm’s flywheel capital strategy in detail.
Saylor identified the first step as owning the “most capital” in the form of Bitcoin, then targeting a 30% annual return on those reserves in BTC terms.
The second pillar of the strategy involves issuing what Saylor described as the “strongest credit,” specifically in the form of Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock, with the company targeting digital credit equal to 10 to 20% of BTC reserves annually.
Saylor argued that issuing the strongest credit would in turn allow Strategy to create the “best equity,” referring directly to its common stock, MSTR.
Strategy’s X post quoted Saylor directly: “Our ambition is to be the world’s largest company by market cap by owning the most capital $BTC, issuing the strongest credit $STRC, and creating the best equity $MSTR.”
As of the time of the earnings call, Strategy held a market capitalization of roughly $36 billion, placing it far behind the current leaders in global equity markets.
