Strategy CEO Phong Le said the company does not see itself as merely a Bitcoin holding company, laying out a broader ambition to become what he called the “JPMorgan of Bitcoin.” In an interview published by Bitcoin Magazine, Le said that means building products, making markets, and supplying liquidity for a digital asset economy that he believes could eventually serve 8 billion people.
Le described Strategy’s digital credit ecosystem as being worth roughly $15 billion and argued that DeFi protocols building yield and tokenized products on top of STRC matter more than anything the company could launch on its own. He also addressed the company’s stance on MSCI index exclusion, saying Strategy is pushing back on principle.
The interview’s agenda also covered Deutsche Bank’s move deeper into Bitcoin, regulatory clarity and new rules from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and Treasury, as well as Strategy’s choice to pursue buybacks instead of raising the STRC dividend. Other topics included lessons from a period of stress in digital credit, a two-way Bitcoin strategy focused on long-term accumulation with flexibility, Bitcoin as a cash-adjacent balance-sheet line item, stablecoins, bank yield products, and the use of AI tools across Strategy’s software and Bitcoin operations.
Strategy is not aiming to be just a Bitcoin holding company. CEO Phong Le said the firm wants to become the “JPMorgan of Bitcoin,” according to an interview published by Bitcoin Magazine.
Le said that vision means creating products, making markets, and providing liquidity for a digital asset economy that he believes could eventually reach 8 billion people.
Digital credit, DeFi, and STRC
In the interview, Le walked through Strategy’s digital credit ecosystem, which he said is now roughly $15 billion. He also said DeFi protocols building yield and tokenized products on top of STRC matter more than anything Strategy itself ships.
The program also listed stablecoins, bank yield products, and STRC’s path to $300 billion among the subjects discussed.
Topics covered in the interview
Based on the published timeline, the conversation also touched on global banks moving deeper into Bitcoin, including Deutsche Bank’s entry, as well as regulatory clarity and new rules from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the Treasury.
Other segments covered why Strategy chose buybacks over raising the STRC dividend, what a period of stress taught the company about digital credit, and what Le described as a two-way Bitcoin strategy built around long-term accumulation with flexibility. The interview also addressed Bitcoin as a cash-adjacent line item on the balance sheet.
MSCI and AI tools
Le also addressed the MSCI index question and said the company is fighting exclusion on principle.
The final segment examined how AI tools are embedded across Strategy’s software and Bitcoin business.
