Strategy founder Michael Saylor has predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) will reach $1 million per coin within a ten-year window. The billionaire backed the largest cryptocurrency to outperform gold by 10x in the coming years to become the de facto safe-haven asset.
Bitcoin On The Highway To $1 Million
Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), has doubled down on his prediction for Bitcoin, tipping the asset to have a meteoric ten-year run. According to Saylor, a BTC price of $1 million per coin is “inevitable,” forecasting the asset to reach the milestone in a decade.
Saylor shared his thoughts in a recent interview with Sky News following his keynote address at Bitcoin MENA 2025. Per Saylor, Bitcoin’s incoming meteoric run will see its market capitalization surge from $2 trillion to $20 trillion over a ten-year window, while backing the premier cryptocurrency to reach $200 trillion.
When quizzed on Bitcoin and gold, Saylor pitched his tent with the premier cryptocurrency. While conceding that gold will still be relevant in 20 years, Saylor noted that Bitcoin will emerge as the leading safe-haven asset.
“I expect Bitcoin to emerge as the dominant digital monetary network in the world, and it is the world’s reserve capital,” said Saylor. “I don’t think gold will do that. I think that Bitcoin will be 10X bigger than gold.”
Despite Saylor’s predictions, gold has outperformed Bitcoin in 2025, with the yellow metal up over 60% year-to-date. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is down by nearly 5% from its price at the start of 2025 after erasing its yearly gains in a steep correction in Q4.
Unfazed by the asset’s short-term price performance, Saylor’s Strategy is on a Bitcoin buying spree. At press time, Strategy holds 671,268 BTC with the company ramping up its purchases in recent weeks, defying Bitcoin’s correction.
Bullish Predictions For BTC
Michael Saylor is not the only one forecasting bullish predictions for Bitcoin. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has also tipped BTC to reach $1 million in the near future, projecting a 250,000 projection by the end of 2026.
Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood is backing a Bitcoin valuation above $1 million by 2030, noting that the asset will ignore its traditional four-year cycle in the coming years. Amid the optimistic predictions, Schiff has issued grim warnings for Bitcoin’s price, while others are pointing to rising quantum computing risks as long-term concerns for the asset.
