Strategist Michael Saylor Predicts Bitcoin Will Reach $21 Million in the Next 21 Years
Founder Saylor Predicts the Price of Bitcoin Will Reach $21 Million within 21 Years.
In a post on X last Saturday, he commented, "$21 million in 21 years." However, he also emphasized that reaching this price level could be challenging due to the unpredictable price volatility of this cryptocurrency.
Saylor Says Recent Geopolitical Developments and Regulations Have Influenced BTC Predictions
In previous statements, he emphasized the significance of the number "21," linked to Bitcoin's total supply and now the projected $21 million per BTC. He believes in the possibility of achieving this target by 2046.
At the BTC Prague 2025 conference last weekend, Saylor affirmed this could be the only time in Bitcoin's 21-year history that a long-term prediction has chosen the $21 million price level.
His new prediction far exceeds his previous estimate at the Bitcoin Nashville 2024 conference, where he predicted BTC would reach $13 million by 2045. He said this positive trend is largely driven by geopolitical variables, legal regulations, and widespread acceptance — factors that could not have been predicted a year ago.
Saylor acknowledged that he did not expect the White House administration to support Bitcoin, especially after Donald Trump's victory last November, which marked a significant political turning point.
He mentioned that despite expectations of a cryptocurrency-friendly leader, they did not even consider creating a strategic BTC reserve or a president aiming to transform the nation into a Bitcoin superpower.
In discussing new regulations, cryptocurrency-related laws such as the Genius Act, Digital Asset Market Assurance Law, and Bitcoin Act, Saylor emphasized that no one could have imagined states would embrace BTC so widely.
Saylor Predicts Volatile Developments but Remains Confident in Reaching $21 Million
While maintaining a positive outlook, Saylor notes that BTC price will experience significant fluctuations before stabilizing. He predicts a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 21% in the long term and the potential to outperform the S&P 500 annually until 2046.
Information on Strategy's Bitcoin Holdings Remains Confidential
Alongside his optimistic prediction, Saylor's company continues its strong Bitcoin accumulation strategy, adding $1 billion in BTC last week.
According to data as of June 15, 2025, Strategy owns approximately 592,000 BTC, but has not disclosed storage methods or locations. Saylor previously opposed the Proof of Reserves concept, arguing that it weakens the security of issuers, asset custodians, and traders.
Last year, he was against self-managing digital assets, contrary to many Bitcoin enthusiasts. However, after negative reactions, he supported this method for those "ready and capable."
At the BTC Prague conference, many attendees showed interest in self-management principles, "being their own bank." Danny Sanders, Trezor's trade manager, confirmed that the event featured "diverse Bitcoin developers, investors, and beginners — all genuinely interested in open-source tools and self-asset management principles."
