MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor has released a proposal titled "U.S. Digital Asset Framework, Principles and Opportunities", aiming to bolster the U.S. dollar's global dominance and solidify American leadership in the digital economy, according to TechFlow.
Key Highlights of the Framework:
Digital Asset Classification System:
Digital goods without issuers (e.g., Bitcoin)
Digital securities with issuers
Digital currencies
Digital utility tokens
Digital NFTs
Digital asset-backed tokens
Cost Reductions for Compliance and Issuance:
Asset issuance compliance costs are capped at 1% of assets under management.
Annual maintenance costs are limited to 0.1%.
Lowered issuance costs to enhance capital market access.
Growth Predictions:
Digital currency market expansion: From $25 billion to $10 trillion.
Global digital capital market growth: $2 trillion to $280 trillion.
Digital asset market (excluding Bitcoin) surge: From $1 trillion to $590 trillion.
Establishing a Bitcoin Reserve:
Saylor advocates for creating a U.S. Bitcoin reserve, estimating it could generate $16–81 trillion in wealth for the U.S. Treasury. This, he argues, could provide an innovative strategy to offset the national debt and strengthen the nation’s financial position.
