Bitcoin custody, lending, and tokenization to drive growth; Strategy repurchased $1.5B STRC, eyes Bitcoin-backed stablecoins.

Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, predicts Bitcoin is entering a bull market driven by expanded bank custody, lending services, and securities tokenization over the next 12–24 months. Strategy repurchased about $1.5 billion of its STRC shares to stabilize prices and holds enough cash to cover 3.5 years of dividends. Saylor also discussed the potential for Bitcoin-backed, dollar-pegged stablecoins offering 6%–8% yields, though no issuance plans are currently announced. The viability of such stablecoins depends on collateral, liquidity, regulation, and peg stability, with the broader vision of creating a financial system built around digital capital and faster, always-on markets.

Michael Saylor's Bitcoin outlook provides context for cryptocurrency trends. For readers following crypto markets, here is Pluang's snapshot as of Oct 19, 2026 15:02 WIB: 41 of 50 major cryptocurrencies rose today. EOS gained 8.13% to Rp12.649 with a typical hold time of 87 days. CRV rose 5.16% to Rp6.405, with 57% buy orders and a 62-day hold time. UNI increased 2.94% to Rp133.479, though 86% of orders were sell, with a 65-day hold time.
