I guess you mean that beyond the ~100 pre-capture catalyzed fusions, it could be the cause for further nuclear reactions, that it would catalyze in its new life as a heavy orbiting electron in matter?
But this new life is short isn't it, of the order of microseconds only, before it decays as you indicate. Orbiting around a nucleus doesn't change its half-life... or are you thinking about a relativistic time dilation effect due to the orbiting speed (much faster than that of an electron I guess) making it appear to age much more slowly in the stationary frame, IOW the Langevin twins effect making the traveling twin age slower?
