Bitcoin 21 Million USD? Shocking Forecast from Michael Saylor and the Truth Investors Need to Know

Bitcoin – the first cryptocurrency in the world, created in 2009 – still holds a dominant position with a bullish increase of over 20,000% since 2014. Although the crypto market is highly volatile, many experts and renowned investors still place their firm trust in the future of Bitcoin. One of them is Michael Saylor, the CEO of the Bitcoin treasury management company – Strategy. Michael Saylor's "Huge" Prediction: Bitcoin 21 Million USD? Recently, Saylor predicted that the price of Bitcoin could reach around 21 million USD in the next 21 years. With the current price at around 118,000 USD, this translates to a potential bullish increase of over 17,696%. Strategy – the company he leads – is currently holding 628,791 Bitcoin, accounting for 3% of the total Bitcoin supply that will exist in the crypto market. Although this is an impressive forecast, is it feasible? Why is this target considered too ambitious? To understand clearly, let's look at some real numbers: The market capitalization of Bitcoin is currently around 2.44 trillion USD. If it increases by 10,000% (, it would be 100 times ), the market cap of Bitcoin would reach 250 trillion USD. Meanwhile, the total money supply from major central banks is currently about 95 trillion USD and is expected to rise to around 380 trillion USD in the next 20 years. Thus, the scenario where Bitcoin accounts for 65% of the total global money supply is almost impossible, especially when the USD still holds the role of the world's reserve currency and gold – the traditional safe-haven asset – currently only accounts for about 22.68 trillion USD. So does Bitcoin still have growth potential? The answer is yes. Although it is difficult to reach the figure of 21 million USD, Bitcoin still has sustainable growth momentum. Considered an inflation hedge: Many investors liken Bitcoin to "digital gold," preserving value against the depreciation of fiat currency. Increasing acceptance from institutions and governments: Some businesses have begun to hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Bitcoin investment funds have been widely launched, attracting significant capital flows. The U.S. has announced plans to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, boosting BTC's position in the global financial market. The expansionary fiscal policies of developed nations: Public debt and budget deficits may cause the USD to continue to depreciate, thereby supporting the long-term value of Bitcoin. Smart Investment Strategy with Bitcoin Bitcoin has experienced multiple drops of 30%-60% after strong rallies, and this scenario may continue to repeat. Therefore, the (Dollar-Cost Averaging – DCA) strategy is considered a reasonable approach: Investing a fixed amount periodically, regardless of the market price, helps minimize the risk of "buying at the peak". Diversifying the portfolio: Combining Bitcoin with stocks and other assets to balance risk. Conclusion Bitcoin may not reach Michael Saylor's "moon" forecast, but that does not negate its long-term growth potential. In the context of inflation, rising public debt, and greater acceptance from institutions, Bitcoin remains an asset worth considering for long-term investors – as long as you know how to manage risks and be patient with the game.
