Bitcoin advocate and Strategy founder Michael Saylor recently shared an ambitious forecast during his keynote at the BTC Prague 2025 conference, predicting that Bitcoin could reach $21 million by the year 2046. Saylor's projection marks a dramatic shift from his earlier estimate of $13 million by 2045 that he presented at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville.
In his address, Saylor highlighted recent developments in politics and cryptocurrency adoption that he believes justify this bullish stance. He noted the U.S. government's increasing acceptance of Bitcoin as a key factor, describing it as an 'extraordinary development' that few anticipated just a year ago. He pointed to the presidential support for Bitcoin, claiming it has turned America into a potential 'superpower' in the cryptocurrency industry.
Saylor's outlook is buoyed by three significant pieces of legislation currently progressing in the U.S., which include measures focused on stablecoins and market clarity for digital assets. According to him, these regulatory changes have not only caught many by surprise but also demonstrate a growing acceptance of Bitcoin on a national level.
In an environment where Bitcoin's value fluctuated in the past, including drops to around $16,000, Saylor's optimism underscores a sentiment shift among advocates. As he puts it, 'Nobody guessed' the scale of adoption and regulatory support we are witnessing today. His comments reflect a potentially significant moment for Bitcoin's mainstream acceptance.
