Michael Saylor set out a policy view this week that puts Bitcoin inside US banks, with banks holding it for customers and lending against it. He also described a future in which digital assets reach a $100 trillion industry, and separately called for a “bill of digital rights” in a broader push around digital finance.

What it means

People who use banks for Bitcoin custody or lending would notice this as a proposal to bring those services into the banking system. If adopted, the service model he described would put Bitcoin holdings and loans against them in a bank setting rather than outside it.

In practice, the idea changes the menu of services he wants banks to offer, because it explicitly includes custody and lending tied to Bitcoin. What does not change from the text is that this is still a policy vision; no bank is named as already offering it here. (per ambcrypto.com)
