Breaking Statements from MicroStrategy Founder Michael Saylor! "Bitcoin Price in 2045..."

One of the leading advocates of Bitcoin, Michael Saylor, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Strategy (, formerly known as MicroStrategy), stated in the Squawk Box program he participated in on CNBC his company's new capital increase plans as well as his expectations for the future of Bitcoin.

Saylor stated that the company aims to raise approximately $1 billion through its 10% fixed-income preferred stock offering. It was noted that a large portion of the revenue generated will be used for general corporate purposes and particularly for acquiring more Bitcoin.

Saylor stated that they conducted three different preferred stock offerings in the last six months, noting that these instruments provide investors with high fixed returns, while also directing these funds into Bitcoin investments to increase shareholder value. According to Saylor, this model offers "perpetual" fixed-income investments that carry no debt maturity and no refinancing risk.

Saylor summarized the company's strategy by stating, "We are actually creating an indestructible balance sheet by matching long-term liabilities with a long-term asset." He argued that this model offers an attractive return of around 10% for fixed-income investors and also allows equity investors to indirectly access more Bitcoin.

Saylor, who also touched on the regulation front, stated that the recent recognition of Bitcoin as a "digital commodity" by the U.S. administration, the positive changes in accounting standards, and the banks giving a green light to Bitcoin indicate an improvement in the sector.

One of the most striking statements in the program was Saylor's long-term Bitcoin prediction. Referring to a speech he made in July 2024, Saylor argued that Bitcoin could provide an average annual compounded return of 30% over the next 20 years. According to this scenario, it is possible for Bitcoin to reach a level of 13 million dollars by 2045.

Citing past performance as an example, Saylor stated that Bitcoin has appreciated at an annual rate of 57% over the last four and a half years, which is four times that of the S&P 500 and eight times that of real estate and bond returns. "Bitcoin is crushing everything," he said.

Statements made by Saylor at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference also came to the forefront. Saylor reiterated his opposition to the "proof-of-reserves" application for the 567 thousand Bitcoin held by Strategy, stating that it poses a security risk. Despite criticisms from some Bitcoin advocates calling for transparency, Saylor indicated that he maintains this view.
