【Strategy CEO: The goal is to become the JPMorgan of Bitcoin]Strategy(formerly Micro Strategy) CEO Phong Le said in an interview video published by Bitcoin Magazine that the company's goal is not to become a mere Bitcoin holding company, but to become “the JPMorgan of Bitcoin”—serving an economy that he believes could ultimately encompass 8000000000 people by creating products, building markets, and providing liquidity for the digital asset economy. Phong Le stated that Strategy's digital credit ecosystem is currently approximately 15000000000 USD, with yield-generating and tokenized products built on STRC through the DeFi protocol being more important than products launched by Strategy itself. He also discussed why the company chose share repurchases rather than increasing STRC dividends, as well as its thinking on the digital credit business after a period of stress. Regarding its Bitcoin strategy,Strategy pursues a dual approach that combines long-term accumulation with flexibility, viewing Bitcoin as a near-cash item on its balance sheet. Le also addressed MSCI index-related issues, saying that the company opposes exclusion on principle, and revealed that AI tools have been embedded across Strategy software and Bitcoin operations.

Why it matters to readers
It shows that a publicly listed company known for Bitcoin is shifting its narrative from “holding Bitcoin” toward digital credit and market infrastructure, while proactively addressing market concerns such as index inclusion; therefore, its statements may influence how outsiders understand the company's business positioning.
Beginners can use this to learn that Bitcoin-related companies may do more than buy coins: they may also offer digital-asset-related credit, yield, and tokenization products. “Digital credit,” “DeFi,” “buybacks,” and “dividends” are all basic concepts encountered when understanding the business of this type of company.
