Michael Saylor, the founder of business intelligence and analytics platform Strategy, which was formerly MicroStrategy, has significantly raised his long-term $BTC price prediction, forecasting that that asset could reach $21 million per coin by the year 2046.
Michael Saylor’s New Prediction
Speaking during a keynote at the BTC Prague 2025 conference, Saylor cited major geopolitical shifts, regulatory developments, and accelerating crypto adoption as reasons behind his bold projection.
“I think we’re going to be $21 million in 21 years. It’s a very special time in the network. Maybe the one time in the history of the network where you look out 21 years and you see $21 million.”

According to Saylor, his bullishness on the first-ever crypto in space points to the surprising changes over the past year, including stronger support for $BTC from the U.S. government. He called it an “extraordinary development,” linking it to President Donald Trump’s return to office, which he said marked a major shift in political views on crypto.
He also cited growing momentum behind U.S. crypto legislation, referencing three major bills: the GENIUS Act, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, and the Bitcoin Act.
Saylor described the pace of progress as “something nobody guessed, no one conceived of a year ago.”
Previous $BTC Predictions
His new estimate is a notable increase from his previous forecast of $13 million by 2045, made at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville.
Just this month, Saylor also expressed his belief that the asset will reach $1 million by 2033, driven by institutional adoption and a shrinking supply due to halvings.
In May, he predicted that the current “digital gold rush” for $BTC will end by January 7, 2035. He urged investors to accumulate $BTC before this deadline, citing rising demand and limited supply as key factors.
Despite the asset’s total supply being capped at 21 million until the year 2140, Saylor shared that he believes that meaningful accumulation opportunities will end much sooner due to increasing interest from institutions, governments, and retail investors.
Looking even further ahead, he predicts that $BTC could eventually reach a $500 trillion market cap, translating to a price of around $23.8 million per token.
On the other hand, speaking at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas last month, he emphasized that growing institutional adoption strengthens $BTC’s value and security.
Saylor predicted Bitcoin will reach $1 million per coin once Wall Street owns 10% of the total $BTC supply, pushing the market cap to $20 trillion.
Accordingly, the Strategy executive believes it will become exponentially harder to buy Bitcoin as demand from corporations and governments surges, calling it “the most explosive idea of the era.”
Strategy’s $BTC Holdings
According to Bitcoin treasuries tracker Bitbo, as of June 16, 2025, Strategy holds 592,100 $BTC, or approximately 2.82% of the total asset’s supply, acquired at an average price of $66,384.56, with a total investment of $33.14 billion.
The company’s recent purchasing activity includes:
- May 26, 2025: 4,020 $BTC for $427.1 million
- May 19, 2025: 7,390 $BTC for $764.9 million
- May 12, 2025: 13,390 $BTC for $1.34 billion
While the company has not disclosed specific details about how it stores its $BTC holdings, Saylor previously expressed concerns over releasing proof-of-reserves due to security issues. Nonetheless, Strategy leads all public companies in holdings, with nearly 600,000 $BTC, a stake worth over $60 billion, and continues to aggressively expand its position.
In contrast, an analyst recently warned that Strategy could face a financial crisis similar to the collapse of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust.
He highlighted that Strategy’s reliance on its market net asset value makes it vulnerable, especially as $BTC becomes more accessible and its stock token, $MSTR, loses appeal as a $BTC proxy. The analyst also flagged $MSTR’s $8.2 billion in convertible debt as a major risk.
If the company’s stock does not appreciate enough for bond conversion, Strategy may be forced to repay in cash, likely by selling $BTC, according to the analyst.
