In a previous interview with CNBC, Saylor pointed out that Bitcoin is entering a whole new phase.
It’s not ETFs or retail investor sentiment, but the acceptance and participation of the banking system that is becoming a key variable for 2026.
He revealed that about half of the major US banks have started offering Bitcoin collateralized loans in the past six months, and institutions including Charles Schwab and Citibank also plan to launch custody and related lending services in the first half of 2026.
In his view, this custody, trading, and credit support from the banking system will push Bitcoin to a new asset level.
