Michael Saylor Predicts Bitcoin to Reach $21 Million in 21 Years

Speaking at BTC Prague 2025, Strategy’s founder, Michael Saylor, explained why Bitcoin (BTC) could reach US$21M (AU$32M) per coin within 21 years, a much higher figure than his prior estimate of US$13M (AU$20.8M) by 2045. 

Saylor told the crowd:

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.

From $1M to $21M 

It’s a staggering leap, even by Saylor’s standards. Just a few days ago, he said BTC would go to a million dollars, and that a potential crypto winter is “unlikely” moving forward.

During last year’s Bitcoin 2024 event in Nashville, the founder made the original US$13M call, predicting that the asset’s share of global capital would rise from 0.1% to 7%. Now, Saylor claims the global landscape has changed faster than he or anyone had anticipated.

Stuff that’s happened in the past 11 months has been extraordinary. The White House has embraced Bitcoin. This is an extraordinary development. We didn’t anticipate this.

This comes as Strategy sits on a massive pile of BTC, adding over a thousand BTC to its treasury. From June 9th to June 15th, the company added over 10,000 BTC for roughly US$1.05B (AU$1.63B) at an average price of US$104,080 (AU$161,594). 

And it looks like the firm is gearing up to buy more this week, although at this point it wouldn’t be shocking news.
