Michael Saylor: Bitcoin soon worth $21 million? New mega-forecast
Well-known Bitcoin bull and founder of Strategy, Michael Saylor, has drastically increased his already optimistic long-term forecast for Bitcoin. Massive geopolitical changes and an increasingly positive regulatory landscape are fueling his vision.
At the BTC Prague 2025 conference on Saturday, Saylor caused a stir with his keynote speech. His prediction: The price of a single Bitcoin could reach the staggering $21 million mark in 21 years, i.e., by 2046.
"I think we'll be at $21 million in 21 years. It's a very special time at the network. Maybe the one time in the network's history where you look ahead 21 years and see $21 million," an enthusiastic Saylor told the audience.
This new, extremely bullish prediction represents a massive increase over his previous assessment. Just last year, at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Saylor had considered a rise to $13 million by 2045 possible.
“Massive adoption that no one expected”Saylor justified his increased optimism for Bitcoin with a whole series of geopolitical, regulatory and adoption-promoting developments that, in his opinion, hardly anyone would have thought possible a year ago.
"The things that have happened in the last 11 months have been extraordinary. The White House has embraced Bitcoin. This is an extraordinary development. We didn't expect this," Saylor said.
He emphasized that he had always been a strong Bitcoin supporter, even when the price plummeted to $16,000 during the last crypto winter. But Donald Trump's election victory brought about "a shift in the tide in politics."
"While we thought we might get a pro-Bitcoin president, we didn't think we'd get a strategic Bitcoin reserve. We didn't think the president would say America would become the world's Bitcoin superpower. That's an amazing development," Saylor added.
The Strategy founder also pointed to the growing regulatory and legislative progress in the crypto space. He specifically cited three legislative initiatives in the US that are developing positively: the stablecoin-focused Genius Act, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, and the Bitcoin Act.
Michael Saylor's statements are likely to further fuel the imagination of many Bitcoin investors. Whether his extremely bullish forecast will come true, however, remains to be seen in the coming years. In any case, the course for Bitcoin's further integration into the traditional financial system and the real economy appears to be increasingly being set. Investors remain on board.
