What changed: The story was updated to include Ethereum (ETH) as a target platform and the exclusion of XRP, while identifying the Strategy World 2026 conference as the venue for the announcement.

Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, unveiled a transformative "digital credit" vision at the Strategy World 2026 conference, aiming to evolve the company's Bitcoin-centric strategy. This framework involves issuing yield-bearing financial instruments using Bitcoin as collateral, with plans to expand these products to the Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) networks. Notably, Saylor excluded XRP from his future vision for these digital credit instruments. To demonstrate the economic utility of these products, the company introduced its Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC) as a practical model. This strategic shift positions MicroStrategy as a broader financial ecosystem, potentially driving institutional demand for major smart-contract platforms. The move underscores a significant evolution in how corporate treasuries leverage digital assets for yield generation.
