Saylor urges US banks to be allowed to lend against Bitcoin
- —Saylor called for looser rules so US banks can hold BTC and lend against it
- —He estimates the credit potential at $100 billion, roughly 1.2 million BTC
- —The network produces about 164,000 new BTC a year, halving every four years
- —BTC trades near $82,780, down 34.4% from its $126,116 record on October 6, 2025
Why it matters: Allowing banks to lend against Bitcoin would create a major new source of BTC demand and accelerate its integration into traditional finance.
