Michael Saylor – a prominent Bitcoin bull and the CEO of MicroStrategy–considers that conventional markets of finance are not yet prepared for BTC-supported bonds. On Tuesday, while talking to Bloomberg, he expressed to be enthusiastic to witness the arrival of the day when the trade of Bitcoin-supported bonds would be witnessed as similar to mortgage-supported securities, however, cautioned that at present the market is not prepared for the respective move.
He added that the next finest concept was considered to be a term loan offered by a well-known bank. The comments are witnessed a couple of days following the BTC-focused branch of MicroStrategy named MacroStrategydeclared to have had received a $205M BTC-collateralized loan to buy additional Bitcoin. The respective loan was exclusive as indicated by the earliest borrowing of MicroStrategy against the Bitcoin reserves thereof, which presently have a value of nearly $6B, to purchase additional cryptocurrency.
Apart from this, the comments of Saylor are in line with the recent decision of El Salvador to procrastinate the release of the $1B BTC-supported Volcano Bond of the country on 23rd March. As per Alejandro Zelaya – the Finance Minister of El Salvador–the move to postpone the decision of releasing the bond was taken because of the uncertainty across the global market led by the Ukrainian conflict.
In a likely caution to El Salvador, it was mentioned by Saylor that the Volcano Bond of the country was rather more hazardous than the BTC-collateralized loan of the firm. In his words, that counts to be a mixed sovereign debt tool in contradiction to an unadulterated BTC treasury play having its separate credit hazard instead of the general Bitcoin-related risk. According to Saylor, it would be a great idea for the cities such as New York to utilize BTC as a debt tool.
He disclosed that New York has the potential to release $2B of debt as well as purchase $2B worth in Bitcoin, as the primary crypto asset is yielding up to 50% or above whereas the debt costs thereof are 2% or lower. Since the first $250M BTC-based investment that took place in2020’s August, MicroStrategy has presently collected more than 125,051 Bitcoin at the present price of $44,547 (approximately $5.5B).
Several separate Bitcoin purchases have been made by MicroStrategywith the utilization of the cash in possession of the firm and the profits from selling convertible notes to organizational purchasers or in private offerings.
