Michael Saylor Proposes Bitcoin Credit Model for US Mortgages
- Michael Saylor suggests Bitcoin-backed mortgages
- MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Credit Model Attracts Trump Administration
- MicroStrategy uses Bitcoin as a financial collateral asset
MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor has presented his company’s Bitcoin-based lending model to Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Chairman Bill Pulte. The proposal comes after Pulte expressed interest in how Bitcoin could be integrated into mortgage eligibility criteria.
We will study the usage of cryptocurrency holdings as it relates to qualifying for mortgages.

Saylor has been an advocate for the use of Bitcoin as a strategic treasury asset. MicroStrategy is already widely recognized for its aggressive accumulation of the cryptocurrency, using instruments such as convertible notes and debt issuance to fund ongoing BTC acquisitions.
The model The BTC credit rating system created by Saylor’s company is based on a native cryptocurrency structure. It measures a company’s solvency capacity with three specific indicators: the “BTC Rating”, which assesses how many times Bitcoin assets cover the company’s obligations; the “BTC Risk”, which estimates credit risk based on the asset’s volatility; and the “BTC Credit”, which defines a theoretical credit spread for the company’s profile.
This structure deviates from the traditional parameters used in the financial market and seeks to demonstrate that Bitcoin can be used as a basis for financing instruments, including in the real estate sector. The initiative, if adopted by the FHFA, could represent a significant step in the use of crypto assets as collateral in the residential mortgage market.
Last week, MicroStrategy acquired an additional 245 BTC for approximately $26 million, reinforcing its long-term strategy. The company currently holds 592.345 BTC, valued at over $62 billion, with over $20 billion in unrealized profits at a price above $105.000 per unit.
FHFA’s interest could signal a potential shift in housing policy frameworks, considering cryptocurrency-based financial mechanisms to offer alternatives to the traditional mortgage model.

AI Capital Expenditure Faces a Dilemma: Accelerating Puts Pressure on Cash Flow, Slowing Down Undermines the Growth Narrative
Nomura Securities believes that the AI investment narrative is mired in an internal contradiction: if hyperscale cloud providers accelerate capital expenditures, their free cash flow will continue to be drained, raising doubts about the sustainability of financing; if they slow down, it would indicate a loss of confidence in AI demand and profitability expectations. Both paths lead to sell-offs. The crowded long positions accumulated during the AI agent boom in September have triggered large-scale stop-losses under negative catalysts, spreading to US Treasury bonds, exchange rates, and commodity markets, resulting in systemic deleveraging.

The time window is extremely tight—according to SEC regulations, the S-1 filing must be submitted by next week at the latest, and prediction markets estimate the probability of a listing within the year at around 80%. The sell-off in the AI sector has cast a shadow over the listing prospects, and the previous plan to go public in September has already fallen through. Several market participants say that Anthropic may face pressure to delay its listing, but some analysts point out that the company's urgent need for capital may drive it to stick to the original plan.
