        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a Chief Executive Officer for MicroStrategy, Saylor said Tuesday that he would like to see a day when people could sell Bitcoin-backed bonds like mortgage-backed securities. MicroStrategy is borrowing money to buy more of the digital asset. "The market isn't ready for that at this time." The next best idea was to get a term loan from a big bank.</p>
<p>That could be a warning to El Salvador, which is planning to sell about $1 billion worth of so-called volcano bonds that will be backed by Bitcoin, which could be dangerous. With Nayib Bukele, who is a big supporter of Bitcoin, delaying offering securities. The proposed offering has been talked about in the crypto world since it was first proposed last year.</p>
<p>"There's a lot of talk about the Bitcoin bond for El Salvador," said Saylor. The hybrid sovereign debt instrument is not just a pure play with Bitcoin and the government. That has its own credit risk, which has nothing to do with the Bitcoin risk at all."</p>
<p>People who own MicroStrategy's Bitcoins will get a loan of $205 million. It will be backed by that money. DeFi, or "decentralized finance," tools, and digital assets were some of the ways the company used.</p>
<p>The deal would probably work out if it was JPMorgan and the money came from their balance sheet at 4% interest. Hedging funds and operations that don't have 100 times as much money as you do "could theoretically have counterparty risks that would cancel out the nominal yield," Saylor said.</p>

<p>Because Saylor bought MicroStrategy shares, he has effectively made a bet on Bitcoin with a lot of money. This means that it owns about $5.9 billion worth of it right now, based on the price on Wednesday of about $47.5,000.</p>
<p>Everything you do can be done with bitcoin, and you can get a lot of help from every company in the world. He said that cities could do it. "New York can issue $2 billion in debt and buy $2 billion worth of Bitcoin. The Bitcoin is paying 50% or more, and the debt costs 2% or less."</p>]]></content:encoded>
