Michael Saylor：AI Agents will drive the development of digital assets; the United States should embrace the digital capital transition
PANews October 4 reported that Strategy founder Michael Saylor said in a recent interview that, as AI the world enters the agent era,AI agents will become core participants in the digital economy. Because the traditional financial system involves friction and is unfriendly to AI agents,AI agents will tend to use native digital assets such as Bitcoin for around-the-clock automated trading. Saylor emphasized that U.S. policymakers should shift from “restriction” to “support,” promote capital formation through modernized regulation, and safeguard the right to self-custody digital assets. He believes that if the United States embraces the digital capital transition, permits banks to custody Bitcoin, and provides credit, it could significantly enhance national competitiveness. Saylor concluded by stating that, in the face of the disruptive changes brought about by AI agents, countries should strive to become technology leaders by developing advanced AI technologies and digital asset technologies to address potential external risks.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This content primarily relays Michael Saylor’s view of the future: when AI agents can autonomously execute tasks and trades, they may prefer digital asset systems that can operate around the clock. He also advocates that the United States adjust its regulatory direction and support self-custody of digital assets, bank custody of Bitcoin, and related credit services. These are personal opinions and policy recommendations, not policy changes that have already occurred.
