Saylor outlines ‘bill of digital rights’ to help build prosperity in future economy

Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, has outlined a "bill of digital rights" to foster prosperity in the future economy. In an essay, Saylor, co-founder of the world's largest Bitcoin holder, proposed five fundamental rights for digital assets. These rights include the freedom to create, issue, hold, transfer, and use digital assets.

Saylor emphasized that an asset's value depends on its usability, so restricting its usefulness would hinder economic potential. He argued that as digital intelligence automates jobs and renders many products obsolete, enabling 10 million new companies to raise capital will be crucial for future prosperity. Strategy recently resumed Bitcoin purchases, acquiring 950 BTC for $75.7 million, bringing its holdings to 846,000 BTC.
