Bitcoin bull and MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor has once again raised eyebrows with an audacious price prediction. Speaking at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, Saylor boldly forecast that Bitcoin could reach a staggering $13 million per coin by 2045. This is an upward revision from his previous estimate of $10 million.
The tech entrepreneur painted a compelling case for Bitcoin as an ultimate store of value, contrasting it with traditional assets like stocks, bonds, and real estate. Saylor argues that these assets are subject to the relentless erosion of value over time due to inflation and entropy. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is immune to these forces, possessing the unique qualities of immortality, immutability, and immateriality.
To maximize Bitcoin holdings, Saylor advocated for a “triple maxi” strategy: maxing out home loans for Bitcoin purchases, converting all assets into Bitcoin, and relocating to tax-friendly jurisdictions. This aggressive approach, he believes, could yield a net worth of $214 million.
MicroStrategy, a company Saylor helms, has been a vocal proponent of Bitcoin, holding a substantial portion of its treasury in the cryptocurrency. With a current Bitcoin holding of over 226,000 coins, MicroStrategy is one of the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holders.
Saylor’s latest prediction is likely to spark heated debate among crypto enthusiasts and skeptics alike. While some may view his forecast as overly optimistic, others will point to his track record as a successful entrepreneur and early Bitcoin adopter. Regardless of whether his prediction materializes, Saylor’s unwavering belief in Bitcoin continues to shape the narrative around the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
