Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy and one of the most prominent voices in the cryptocurrency space, has laid out an ambitious vision for Bitcoin's future.
He predicts a massive shift in global capital toward the cryptocurrency over the coming decades, potentially driving its market value to an astonishing $280 trillion by 2045. According to Saylor, this transformation will be fueled by a reallocation of wealth from traditional assets such as real estate, natural resources, and fiat currencies.
Saylor believes that several forces will converge to propel Bitcoin into this dominant position. He points to technological advancements that will continue to generate global wealth, with Bitcoin positioned as a digital store of value uniquely suited to thrive in this environment.
Inflation, he argues, will also play a critical role, as more investors turn to Bitcoin as a hedge against the devaluation of traditional currencies. Moreover, Saylor envisions capital migrating from underperforming or unstable assets, such as depreciating real estate or volatile currencies, into Bitcoin. He has described this shift as a global phenomenon, with people worldwide exploring the sale of traditional holdings to invest in the cryptocurrency.
Saylor’s forecast also includes a striking price prediction: Bitcoin reaching $13 million per coin by 2045. He bases this estimate on an annual growth rate of 29% over the next 21 years, a figure he sees as achievable given Bitcoin’s inherent attributes, including its scarcity, decentralization, and portability. These characteristics, he argues, make Bitcoin uniquely positioned to outperform other asset classes, including stocks, gold, and real estate.
When questioned about his projections, Saylor explained that his $13 million target reflects the growing recognition of Bitcoin as a superior monetary asset on a global scale. He sees this potential growth as more than just financial speculation, framing it as a fundamental shift in how value is stored and transferred in an increasingly digital world.
Bitcoin is no longer the speculative playground it once was, according to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan.
After more than a decade of silence, two early Bitcoin wallets have suddenly sprung to life, moving thousands of BTC in a move that caught the attention of blockchain analysts and traders alike.
After briefly breaching $97,000, Bitcoin has slipped to around $94,000, retreating from the $98,000 resistance zone as traders brace for potential volatility tied to upcoming macroeconomic announcements.
As countries around the world move faster to integrate digital assets into their financial systems, the United States is keeping Bitcoin at arm’s length—especially when it comes to the idea of holding it in national reserves.
