"all I know is that if you borrow 100 trillion dollars at -2 percent per year, you pay back 98 and keep 2..."

You've got it backwards. The negative interest is for the lenders, not the borrowers. You give me $100 trillion for a year, and I give you back $98 trillion at the end of the year. I keep the $2 trillion, not you.
