Michael Saylor: By 2026, the main players in Bitcoin's story will shift from traders to bankers. In a previous interview with CNBC, Saylor pointed out that Bitcoin is entering an entirely new phase. It’s not about ETFs or retail sentiment anymore—acceptance and participation from the banking system are becoming the key variables for 2026. He revealed that in the past six months, about half of the major U.S. banks have started offering Bitcoin-backed loans, and institutions like Charles Schwab and Citibank are also planning to launch custody and related credit services in the first half of 2026. In his view, this custody, trading, and credit support from the banking system will elevate Bitcoin to an entirely new asset class.
