MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor Projects Bitcoin Could Hit $13 Million by 2045

A notorious Bitcoin bull, Saylor emphasized ways that the digital asset could transform the global economy.

Saylor’s forecast was grounded in a presentation to some 8,000 attendees, whose estimate is hinged on a 29% yearly growth rate, relatively conservative by any stretch. At a Bitcoin price of $68,000, that means a market capitalization of $1.3 trillion—just 0.1 percent of global wealth.

The executive chairman of MicroStrategy was also of the opinion that the U.S. government should move in to buy a significant quantity of Bitcoin, referencing how the Dutch bought Manhattan.

Saylor Highlights Digital Asset’s Potential for Centuries

MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor emphasized that Bitcoin represents an overwhelmingly powerful transformation that traditional assets and systems—according to him—have flawed. He further said that Bitcoin could be useful for as long as 100,000 years if held with custodians or managed by AI, way beyond the lifetimes of physical assets like government-backed debt or luxury cars.

The remarks by Saylor emerged when Bitcoin surged to more than $68 000. The rise in price might be due to the Bitcoin 2024 Conference hype or even speculation on former President Donald Trump‘s speech.
