Michael Saylor, the outspoken Bitcoin advocate and founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), has once again made headlines with a bold prediction about the future of Bitcoin. Speaking at BTC Prague 2025, Saylor shared his latest vision for BTC’s price trajectory, forecasting that it could reach an astounding $21 million within the next 21 years.
“We’re looking at a moment in time where it’s possible to imagine Bitcoin reaching $21 million by 2046,” Saylor said during his keynote. “It’s a symbolic alignment—21 million BTC in 21 years. This could be a once-in-a-lifetime alignment for the network.”
This forecast marks a sharp increase from Saylor’s previous outlook. At Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville, he had predicted a more modest target of $13 million by 2045.
A Year of Unexpected Shifts
Saylor explained that the dramatic revision to his prediction is largely due to unexpected geopolitical and regulatory shifts over the past year—developments that few saw coming.
“Over the last 11 months, the landscape has changed in ways no one predicted,” he noted. “The U.S. government’s recent embrace of Bitcoin has been a game-changer. We never imagined the White House would openly support BTC.”
Saylor referenced the political pivot under Donald Trump’s administration, which has led to a significant shift in U.S. policy toward digital assets. “We thought we might get a Bitcoin-friendly president, but we didn’t expect the idea of a strategic Bitcoin reserve or the declaration that America intends to lead in the Bitcoin space. It’s unprecedented.”
Regulatory Momentum Builds
Saylor also highlighted the recent legislative progress in the United States. Three major crypto-related bills are currently making their way through Congress: the Genius Act (focused on stablecoins), the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, and the Bitcoin Act.
“None of this was even on the radar a year ago,” he said. “Now, individual U.S. states are beginning to recognize and adopt Bitcoin-friendly policies.”
Strategy’s Bitcoin Holdings and Custody Controversy
Saylor’s renewed confidence in Bitcoin aligns with Strategy’s continued aggressive accumulation of BTC. The firm purchased an additional $1 billion worth last week, pushing its total holdings to 592,100 BTC as of June 15, 2025.
Despite calls for transparency, Strategy has yet to reveal exactly where or how its Bitcoin is stored. Saylor has dismissed the idea of providing proof-of-reserves, citing security concerns.
He also previously stirred debate within the crypto community for his opposition to self-custody. In 2024, Saylor suggested that Bitcoin users should trust institutions, such as banks, to safeguard their assets—an idea that sparked widespread criticism. By October, however, he clarified his stance, expressing support for self-custody “for those capable and willing to manage it responsibly.”
Self-Custody and Community Momentum at BTC Prague
Meanwhile, the self-custody movement gained fresh energy at BTC Prague 2025. Attendees showed strong interest in decentralized storage solutions and personal control over their assets.
“BTC Prague brought together a deeply engaged Bitcoin crowd,” said Danny Sanders, chief commercial officer at Trezor, one of the event’s primary sponsors. “We had over 5,000 visitors—developers, Bitcoiners, and newcomers alike—all eager to explore open-source technologies and the principles of financial sovereignty.”
