Michael Saylor urges clear U.S. crypto regulations, backing a 2025 bill to support innovation, investor clarity, and blockchain leadership.
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, has emphasized the urgent need for the United States to establish a clear and formal crypto taxonomy. He made these remarks during the company’s second-quarter earnings call. Saylor mentions that it is beneficial to the markets and the investors to define when a digital asset should be regarded as a security and when it is a commodity. He emphasized that a formal system of classification can be clearer and less confusing, and provide stability in the longer term in the industry.
Saylor Supports Digital Asset Market Clarity Act 2025
A crypto taxonomy is a set of regulations that classifies digital assets. Such a system would help in determining which asset is a security and which one is a commodity. According to Saylor, such a distinction is crucial to the legal issuance and trading of digital tokens. He is convinced that a coherent framework will provide U.S.-based companies with an opportunity to jumpstart the competition.
The time Saylor made the call is in line with the initiatives of the broader federal agencies and law bodies. As a case in point, the U.S. Congress will be reviewing the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 in September. This bill will establish the basis on which digital assets can be issued, tokenized, and regulated. Saylor said he supported the legislation. He called it a good start to a digital economy in which even small companies can easily issue their tokens. In the perfect world, he said, millions of businesses must have the ability to issue a token in a few hours and at a very low cost.

During the earnings call held the same year, Strategy, previously known as MicroStrategy, posted a massive profit during the second quarter of 2025. This was because the company realized a net income of about 10 billion dollars, which was largely attributed to the increasing prices of Bitcoin.
It also said it would raise 4.2 billion dollars through the sale of perpetual preferred stock. The money will be spent on purchasing additional Bitcoin. Strategy has bought even more BTC in the last quarter alone, with an increase of 98,000 BTC to a total of 597,000 BTC. The company now owns 628,800 BTC, which is about 3 percent of Bitcoin’s total global supply.
Saylor, Lawmakers Push for Crypto Reform Consensus
Although Saylor is the most vocal about domestic reform, other officials have also expressed their concerns. The SEC Chair, Gary Gensler, admitted that numerous projects in the field of tokenization are currently located in other countries. According to him, confused policies have driven innovation abroad. He stated that several firms are waiting for approval to launch tokenized products in the U.S. Meanwhile, the SEC plans to support them with regulations where possible. Additionally, he emphasized that the agency is open to innovation. Therefore, companies can expect more clarity as the process moves forward.
Meanwhile, the White House Working Group on Digital Assets has indicated that regulators need to move at a swift pace. They have demanded more explicit regulations on electronic custody, trade, and registration. Such initiatives, along with congressional and SEC collaboration, may help the U.S. to compete in the blockchain industry once again.
The statements of Saylor and the forthcoming bill point to the fact that the consensus is growing on the necessity of the evolution of crypto regulation. Real-world assets like securities and others are likely to be tokenized next as the use case of blockchain technology. But, until the law is clarified, businesses are left in a state of confusion on how to proceed. That is why a lot of stakeholders assume that it is high time that the U.S. establishes its stand and takes the lead in the global digital economy.
