Michael Saylor, executive chair of MicroStrategy, states that Bitcoin's price is no longer set by miners but by structured credit markets. MicroStrategy's STRC preferred stock, which pays an 11.5% variable dividend and channels capital into Bitcoin purchases, has grown to $10.5 billion in notional value in just ten months. The firm is buying more Bitcoin than miners produce, shifting pricing power from mining output to institutional credit demand. This trend is expected to continue until Bitcoin mining tapers off near 2140, making Bitcoin a primarily institutional asset driven by credit market demand rather than mining supply.
