Michael Saylor’s Bold Bitcoin Prediction
Michael Saylor, the founder of Bitcoin Bull and Strategy, is optimistic about the long-term prospects for Bitcoin, especially in light of the evolving global landscape regarding both geopolitics and cryptocurrency.
During a keynote speech at the BTC Prague 2025 conference on Saturday, Saylor forecasted that the price of Bitcoin (BTC) could hit $21 million over the next 21 years. “I believe it’s going to reach $21 million in that timeframe. We’re at a pivotal moment for the network. In the long history of Bitcoin, you’ll eventually see that number,” he remarked.
His latest prediction marks a notable increase from his previous expectations shared at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, where he estimated Bitcoin would achieve $13 million by 2045.
A Surprising Surge in Adoption
In his address, Saylor elaborated on the factors contributing to his heightened optimism for Bitcoin, touching on various geopolitical, regulatory, and adoption trends. “What’s transpired in the last eleven months has been remarkable. The White House’s acceptance of Bitcoin is a game-changer. None of us anticipated this,” he stated.
Saylor acknowledged his steadfast belief in Bitcoin, even when it dipped to $16,000 during the previous year’s crypto downturn. He attributed some of the renewed enthusiasm to Donald Trump’s presidential victory, suggesting it has caused a shift in political tides.
“We expected a pro-Bitcoin president, but we didn’t foresee the idea of a strategic Bitcoin reserve. To hear the president mention America’s aim to be the world’s Bitcoin superpower is astonishing,” Saylor emphasized.
He also pointed out the legislative advancements regarding cryptocurrency in the U.S., mentioning three key bills currently under consideration, including the Stablecoin-focused Genius Act and measures focused on digital asset markets and Bitcoin.
“This is something no one predicted, something we didn’t even consider a year ago. Bitcoin is being accepted by states across the U.S.,” Saylor added.
