Strategy CEO Michael Saylor predicted the BTC price would rise to $20 million.
In an interview with CNBC, Michael Saylor called the last 12 months “the most positive year in the history of the crypto industry.” According to him, Washington is demonstrating a unified stance on crypto assets for the first time: the White House has recognized Bitcoin as “digital gold,” the SEC supports the tokenization of securities, the Treasury is promoting the use of stablecoins, and the new head of the CFTC has taken an openly pro-crypto stance. Meanwhile, major banks, including JPMorgan, Citigroup, and BNY Mellon, have begun preparing infrastructure for Bitcoin-backed storage and lending. Saylor claims that BTC prices will one day reach $20 million.
Saylor noted that Wall Street's shift to using Bitcoin as a leveraged asset marks the beginning of a new institutional growth cycle. He estimated that BTC could reach $150,000 by the end of the year and enter a 10-year cycle with the potential for a 10-fold increase in price. He emphasized that Bitcoin is no longer in opposition to the system, but is becoming part of its financial structure.
“S&P has assigned a B- rating to a company with a BTC treasury for the first time, signaling institutional acceptance of digital loans. The organization has launched four new instruments—Strike, Strife, Stride, and Stretch—offering dividends ranging from 8% to 12.5%. All payments are calculated as a return of capital and are tax-free, making the yield equivalent to 16–20%,” the interview stated.
According to Saylor, the crypto industry has split into two branches: digital capital (Bitcoin and tokenized assets) and digital finance (stablecoins, exchanges, tokenized stocks and bonds). He emphasized that artificial intelligence will begin to use stablecoins for settlements and invest in BTC as a long-term store of value.
According to Saylor's forecast, structuring the industry will reduce Bitcoin volatility and, in the long term, ensure growth of 30% annually for 20 years. If this trend continues, the BTC price could reach $1 million by 2033 and $20 million in the longer term.
