Billionaire Michael Saylor has doubled down on his long-held conviction that Bitcoin is the world’s strongest asset. In a recent interview, the MicroStrategy co-founder argued that Bitcoin will outperform the S&P 500 “forever,” predicting the index could lose nearly 29% per year against the cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin as “Digital Capital”
Saylor described Bitcoin as a new form of “digital capital” that grows faster than traditional assets. Unlike the S&P 500, which represents the average return of top U.S. companies, Bitcoin’s track record shows consistent outperformance over the past decade. He believes this appreciation will fuel new kinds of credit markets, where Bitcoin-backed loans could last longer and deliver stronger returns.

Superior to Stocks and Fiat Currencies
Saylor contrasted Bitcoin’s fixed supply with the inflationary nature of the U.S. dollar and other fiat currencies. He argued that currencies erode purchasing power over time, creating financial instability when used as collateral. In contrast, he sees Bitcoin’s decentralized and predictable structure as the strongest foundation for long-term credit and investment.
MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Bet and S&P 500 Status
MicroStrategy has been a corporate leader in Bitcoin adoption since 2020, now holding more than 638,500 BTC worth tens of billions of dollars. Despite its massive holdings, the company was not included in the latest S&P 500 listing. Saylor explained that recent accounting rule changes and sustained profitability are paving the way for potential inclusion in the future.

Saylor’s boldest claim is that Bitcoin will crush the S&P 500 for at least the next 21 years. He compared today’s adoption of Bitcoin treasuries by corporations to the early oil industry, where businesses experimented before standardized models emerged. For Saylor, the shift is inevitable—Bitcoin will redefine corporate finance and remain unmatched as a store of value.
Michael Saylor’s forecast is unapologetically aggressive, but it reflects his unwavering belief in Bitcoin’s supremacy. While skeptics may doubt his 21-year outlook, history so far supports his conviction that Bitcoin continues to outperform traditional markets.
