Incredible Statements From Michael Saylor – "Bitcoin Price In 2045..."

Michael Saylor, Chairman of Strategy (formerly of MicroStrategy), one of the most prominent supporters of Bitcoin, announced the company’s new fundraising plans as well as his expectations for the future of Bitcoin during the Squawk Box program he attended on CNBC. Saylor stated that the company aims to raise about 1 billion dollars through a preferred stock offering with a fixed income of 10%. The majority of the funds raised will be used for the company’s general purposes, especially to purchase more Bitcoin. Saylor, who claimed that they have conducted three different preferred stock offerings in the past six months, stated that these instruments provide high fixed returns for investors and, at the same time, the company increases value for shareholders by redirecting these funds into Bitcoin investments. According to Saylor, this model offers “perpetual” fixed-income investments without a debt maturity and no refinancing risk. “By combining a long-term liability with a long-term asset, we are essentially creating an indestructible balance sheet,” Saylor said, outlining the company’s strategy. He argued that this model offers both an attractive 10% return for fixed-income investors and indirectly provides equity investors with access to more Bitcoin. Speaking about management, Saylor stated that the recent recognition of Bitcoin as “digital commodity” by the US government, positive changes in accounting standards, and green signals from banks indicate improvements in this area. One of the most prominent statements in the program is Saylor’s long-term forecast for Bitcoin. Referring to his speech in July 2024, Saylor argued that Bitcoin could provide an average annual return of 30% over the next 20 years. According to this scenario, Bitcoin could reach $13 million by 2045. Citing past performance as an example, Saylor stated that Bitcoin has increased by 57% annually over the past four and a half years, four times that of the S&P 500 and eight times the returns of real estate and bonds. “Bitcoin is crushing everything,” he said. His statements at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference were also made. Saylor reiterated that he opposes the “proof of reserve” application of Strategy concerning the 567,000 Bitcoin that this company holds. Stating that this poses security risks, Saylor declared that he maintains this viewpoint despite criticism from some Bitcoin supporters calling for transparency.
