In an interview, Michael Saylor described the next 10 years as a 'gold rush' for Bitcoin and said the crypto market has entered a phase of hypergrowth with a volume of about $3 trillion, compared to $1,000–1,200 trillion in other global assets. He added that Strategy will continue to buy BTC without a set target and already holds more than 840,000 BTC, which is over 4% of the maximum supply.

Crypto Economy Could Reach $120 Trillion at 10% Share

According to Saylor, if digital assets grow to at least 10% of global asset value, the size of the crypto economy could increase to $120 trillion.

Bank Lending Backed by BTC May Drive Growth Over 36 Months

He believes that over the next 36 months, bank lending secured by Bitcoin could be the main driver of BTC’s price. In his view, institutional capital is starting to return to crypto assets after significant flows into AI, SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, NVIDIA, and data centers.

Strategy Holds Over 840,000 BTC and Will Continue Buying

Saylor noted that Strategy does not have a specific coin target and will continue to increase its position as it raises capital. Its balance sheet includes over 840,000 BTC, exceeding 4% of Bitcoin’s maximum supply.

Comparison With Gold and Long-Term Expectations for BTC

Saylor called gold a 'low-efficiency Bitcoin,' noting that over six years, BTC delivered about 36% annual returns compared to roughly 12% for gold. He expects Bitcoin to grow by 20–30% per year in the long term, and by 2035, he said, 99% of all BTC will have been mined, with the remaining 1% to be issued over about 100 years. Over time, he forecasts BTC’s growth rate will slow to 3–5 percentage points above the S&P 500. He also believes that AI and robots will reduce the cost of many goods and services, while scarce assets—real estate, art, and Bitcoin—will appreciate in value.
