Michael Saylor has dramatically increased his Bitcoin price prediction, forecasting the cryptocurrency will reach $21 million within 21 years during his keynote speech at BTC Prague 2025. The Strategy founder’s latest bullish call represents a significant upgrade from his previous prediction of $13 million by 2045, made at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville.
“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,” Saylor declared to the conference audience.
The revised forecast comes as Strategy continues its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, recently purchasing an additional 245 BTC for $26 million between June 16-22, bringing the company’s total holdings to 592,345 BTC worth approximately $60 billion.
The latest acquisition was executed at an average price of $105,856 per Bitcoin, funded through proceeds from the company’s ongoing preferred stock offerings.
Saylor’s unwavering confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term prospects has been vindicated by impressive performance metrics. Strategy has achieved a 19.2% BTC yield in 2025 so far, with the company’s stock having surged over 3,000% since adopting its Bitcoin treasury strategy in 2020.
Geopolitical Tailwinds
The Strategy founder attributed his increased bullishness to a series of extraordinary geopolitical and regulatory developments that have emerged over the past 11 months. Chief among these is the dramatic shift in U.S. political sentiment toward cryptocurrency following Donald Trump’s presidential victory.
“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,” Saylor explained during his keynote address.
The Trump administration’s pro-crypto stance has exceeded even Saylor’s optimistic expectations. While he had hoped for a Bitcoin-friendly president, the reality of proposed strategic Bitcoin reserves and America’s declared ambition to become “the Bitcoin superpower of the world” has created an unprecedented policy environment.
Legislative momentum has further reinforced this bullish outlook, with three major crypto-related bills advancing through Congress: the stablecoin-focused Genius Act, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, and the Bitcoin Act. Additionally, individual US states have begun embracing Bitcoin adoption initiatives, creating a multi-layered regulatory framework supporting cryptocurrency integration.
Global Corporate Treasury Revolution
Strategy’s Bitcoin-first approach is inspiring a global wave of corporate treasury transformations. Japanese company Metaplanet has accumulated 11,111 BTC since adopting its Bitcoin treasury policy in 2024, explicitly citing Strategy’s success as inspiration.
South Korea’s Parataxis recently secured $18 million to launch a Bitcoin treasury vehicle on the KOSDAQ exchange, while US-based KindlyMD is pursuing a merger with Bitcoin investment firm Nakamoto Holdings to pivot toward BTC treasury operations.
The Strategy model has effectively demonstrated that Bitcoin can serve as a superior reserve asset, offering programmatic scarcity and 24/7 liquidity advantages over traditional fiat currencies. As inflation expectations persist and monetary policy remains in flux, more corporations are adopting Bitcoin as a hedge against currency debasement and a tool for maximizing long-term shareholder value.
