Proposed Digital Assets Framework
Saylor presented a Digital Assets Framework designed to create a structured and efficient market for digital assets.
The framework includes:
- Taxonomy: Categorizing digital assets, with Bitcoin classified as a “Digital Commodity.”
- Legitimacy: Establishing rights and responsibilities for issuers, exchanges, and asset owners.
- Practicality: Encouraging efficient regulation and reducing compliance costs.
- Vision: Expanding capital markets, reducing issuance costs, and enabling small businesses and individuals to access funding through tokenized assets.
- Opportunity: Positioning the U.S. as a global digital asset leader, strengthening the U.S. dollar, and leveraging Bitcoin reserves to reduce national debt.
Saylor emphasized that a well-structured digital asset policy could create trillions in economic value and solidify the U.S. as the dominant force in the digital economy.
