Bitcoin bull and Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) founder Michael Saylor has made another eye-catching prediction for the leading cryptocurrency, asserting that BTC could hit $21 million per coin in 21 years. Speaking at the BTC Prague 2025 conference on Saturday, Saylor’s keynote address highlighted both the evolving global crypto environment and his unwavering belief in Bitcoin’s long-term potential. “I think we’re going to be $21 million in 21 years,” Saylor told the crowd. “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.” This bold forecast far exceeds his previous estimate from the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, where he projected Bitcoin reaching $13 million by 2045 . The shift, Saylor explained, stems from unforeseen global developments that have significantly strengthened BTC’s narrative over the past year. “A Sea Change in Politics” and Surging Adoption Saylor credited a “sea change” in geopolitical sentiment and U.S. policy as key reasons for his updated outlook. “Stuff that’s happened in the past 11 months has been extraordinary,” he said, pointing to the Biden administration’s surprising embrace of BTC and regulatory momentum in Congress. “We didn’t think the president would say America would be the Bitcoin superpower of the world,” he said. “We didn’t think we’d get a strategic Bitcoin reserve.” The Strategy founder cited three major U.S. legislative efforts—the Genius Act, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, and the Bitcoin Act—as evidence of this changing tide. He emphasized that several U.S. states are also warming up to BTC, reflecting a broader shift in regulatory sentiment that “nobody guessed” just a year ago. Saylor, who has famously supported BTC through market highs and lows, said Donald Trump’s return to the White House further catalyzed this shift, boosting institutional confidence in BTC as a long-term asset. Strategy’s Bitcoin Holdings Saylor’s renewed optimism comes as Strategy recently added another $1 billion in BTC to its holdings, bringing its total to 592,100 BTC as of June 15, 2025. However, questions remain about how and where this vast reserve is stored. While the firm has not revealed its custody arrangements, Saylor has publicly rejected calls to provide proof-of-reserves, citing security concerns. His previous dismissal of self-custody also drew criticism from the Bitcoin community—though he softened his stance in late 2024, saying he supported the approach “for those willing and able.” The post Michael Saylor Predicts $21 Million Bitcoin Price by 2046, Here’s Why appeared first on TheCoinrise.com .
