Michael Saylor Utters Hottest Bitcoin Prediction Ever as BTC Falls Under $100,000
Last week, Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor shared the biggest Bitcoin price prediction ever made in BTC history. Saylor expects that by 2046, the largest global cryptocurrency will rocket to a whopping $21 million per BTC. He delivered that forecast during the BTC Prague 2025 event, where he attended in person rather than using an Internet call to deliver his speech.
This forecast, based on the poetic symmetry between the price-$21 million – and Bitcoin’s hard cap of 21 million coins, plus 21 years from now, has grabbed the attention of both BTC maximalists and crypto skeptics. This prediction is based on a mix of reasons, involving the recent legislative developments in the US, growing adoption, and geopolitical issues, as well as things like the growing US national debt and the fact that the US is establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
In particular, Saylor said:
“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.”
Saylor’s reasons for Bitcoin’s $21 million forecast
Last week on Monday, Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy) astonished the market by announcing yet another massive Bitcoin buy – 10,100 BTC worth more than $1 billion. This accumulation increased the company’s total crypto holdings to an astounding 592,100 Bitcoin valued at more than $61 billion.
Strategy continues to use what he prefers to call the “ATM Program”, which means raising capital from institutional investors through issuing equity and making debt offerings (STRK, STRF, etc) to accumulate Bitcoin non-stop. Thanks to this strategy, the company has been announcing new Bitcoin acquisitions every week this year (on Mondays). Saylor continues to believe in the future immense potential of Bitcoin, and his bullish stance has never been dented even once. He believes that Bitcoin is not only the fastest growing asset in the market, but that BTC is also able to transform the civilization’s monetary system once and for all.
Saylor has named several specific reasons why he believes Bitcoin is likely to soar to $21 million by 2046. Last year, he named another price – $13 million. However, as he stated at BTC Prague 2025, several things have taken place that could not be foreseen last year. One of the biggest ones was the current pro-crypto president in the US – Donald Trump – and his signature on the executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, thus acknowledging the power of BTC as a global reserve asset, digital gold.
Another reason was that spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to draw in billions of US dollars monthly, and sometimes weekly too. Last week, the US Senate finally passed the stablecoin regulatory act called the “Genius Act.” Commenting on this, Saylor pointed out that the regulatory stance in the US is finally turning positive for Bitcoin and BTC-based products.
Besides, after Gary Gensler was replaced as SEC chairman with Paul Atkins, the SEC’s overreach into the crypto space has significantly dwindled, and the approach is now turning pro-crypto rather than anti-crypto, which dominated regulatory decisions under Gensler’s leadership.
Bitcoin nosedives below $100,000
Meanwhile, as Saylor shared his long-term optimistic vision, Bitcoin remains volatile in the short term. Today, the flagship cryptocurrency plunged below $100,000, dropping by more than 3%. Since Friday, when BTC traded above $105,000, the price collapse has constituted 6%.
Today’s price crash came after the US military forces launched strikes against nuclear facilities in Iran, taking the side of Israel in the conflict. Iran quickly responded with a massive drone and missile attack on Israel, hitting its military sites. The market reacted immediately and brutally, with major sell-offs taking place across major crypto exchanges. Still, Saylor remains unfazed by this development, insisting that short-term geopolitical and military escalations will not influence Bitcoin’s long-term price trajectory. On the contrary, he sees this situation as proof that nations around the globe will need a reliable asset that will be immune to devaluation based on military conflicts and wars, and which will also be outside the centralized control of governments and banks.
Other than that, in a surprise move recently, Saylor expanded his role beyond Strategy and the Bitcoin market. He met with the finance minister of Pakistan, Muhammad Aurangzeb, and the country’s State minister on blockchain and crypto, Bilal Bin Saqib. At the meeting, they discussed the creation of a national Bitcoin reserve in the country. Pakistan, after struggling with the instability of its local fiat currency and dependency on IMF financial support, now considers Bitcoin to be a means of reaching financial sovereignty. Saylor agreed to help them with consulting on the best way to adopt Bitcoin on a national scale.
Overall, the current market turmoil shows that Bitcoin adoption even within one country is a gargantuan task. However, for Saylor, who hinted at another possible huge Bitcoin accumulation today, and who thinks of Bitcoin in terms of years and decades, rather than months, each BTC price dip seems to be a perfect reason to keep stacking Sats.
