Michael Saylor: In 2026, the protagonists of the Bitcoin story will shift from traders to bankers.

Michael Saylor, in a CNBC interview, states that Bitcoin is entering a new phase where the banking system's acceptance, not ETFs or retail sentiment, will be the key driver by 2026.

  • He reveals that approximately half of major U.S. banks have started offering Bitcoin-backed loans in the past six months.
  • Major financial institutions like Charles Schwab and Citibank plan to launch Bitcoin custody and related lending services in the first half of 2026.
  • Saylor believes this institutional adoption for custody, trading, and credit will elevate Bitcoin to a new asset class tier.
Summary

In a previous interview with CNBC, Saylor pointed out that Bitcoin is entering a completely new phase.
It's not ETFs, nor retail investor sentiment, but rather the acceptance and participation of the banking system that is becoming the key variable in 2026.
He revealed that in the past six months, about half of the major U.S. banks have begun to offer Bitcoin-backed loans, and institutions including Charles Schwab and Citibank also plan to launch custody and related lending businesses in the first half of 2026.
In his view, this custody, trading, and credit support from the banking system will push Bitcoin to a completely new asset tier.
