Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy and one of Bitcoin’s most prominent advocates, has made a bold prediction: a massive global capital migration to Bitcoin in the coming decades.
According to Saylor, this change will allow investors to invest in Bitcoin by selling traditional assets such as real estate, natural resources, and fiat currencies, increasing the market value of BTC to $280 trillion by 2045.
In a recent presentation, Saylor hinted at a future where Bitcoin’s value increases exponentially, which he attributed to three key factors:
- Innovation and Technology: As global wealth increases through technological advances, Bitcoin's role as a digital store of value will be strengthened.
- Inflation: Rising inflation will push investors to seek refuge in an asset like Bitcoin, which is deflationary by design.
- Capital Migration: Saylor predicts that investors will transfer capital from less productive or unstable assets, such as Central African real estate, Siberian natural gas, and Argentine currency, to Bitcoin.
Emphasizing the global nature of this change, Saylor said, “People are considering selling their real estate, natural gas, and even local currencies to buy Bitcoin.”
Saylor argues that as Bitcoin emerges as the dominant global monetary asset, it will grow faster than traditional assets such as stocks, gold and real estate. He predicts that the price of a single Bitcoin could reach $13 million by 2045.
This forecast is based on an average annual growth rate of 29% over the next 21 years. Saylor believes that Bitcoin’s unique characteristics (rarity, decentralization, and portability) position it to outperform other asset classes in terms of value appreciation.
When asked about his $13 million per Bitcoin estimate, Saylor explained: “Based on a 29% annual growth rate, we get to $13 million per coin by 2045.”
