Bitcoin may break the $280 trillion market capitalization milestone, according to Saylor. The coin is becoming an alternative to physical gold for asset managers . Strategy Inc. Chairman Michael Saylor has released a jaw-dropping Bitcoin (BTC) price and market capitalization forecast. In his latest speech , Saylor said Bitcoin would become a global powerhouse and predicted a $280 trillion valuation for the leading coin. Strategy Chairman Hails Bitcoin as a Digital Gold Michael Saylor made the bold Bitcoin prediction at Strategy’s Bitcoin for Corporations Conference on May 6. Saylor foresees Bitcoin growing from a $2 trillion valuation to become a $280 trillion asset in the next 20 years. He described Bitcoin as a global monetary asset, the digital gold, 100 times better than gold. Saylor emphasized that most investments termed “smart”, such as hedge funds and pensions, have failed to outperform the S&P 500 Index in the past decade. However, while the S&P is highly profitable, Saylor noted that Bitcoin has performed like the stock market index at some point. According to him, Bitcoin has a 79% annualized ten-year performance and has grown to become one of the best-performing assets in the last decade. Saylor acknowledged that Bitcoin’s valuation at $280 trillion would still not match the bonds and equity market. However, he pointed out that Bitcoin would become more noticeable once its valuation skyrockets. In a recent update we covered , market experts forecasted that approximately 25% of S&P 500 firms would hold Bitcoin by 2030. As of this writing, the market capitalization of Bitcoin is pegged at $1.9 trillion, with the price hovering around $96,800. Therefore, the price of BTC would have to see a 14,483% increase to hit the $280 trillion market capitalization. With the current 19.8 million circulating supply, a $280 trillion market cap would culminate in 1 BTC priced at $14.14 million. However, at a maximum cap of 21 million, Bitcoin would trade at $13.33 million. This analysis aligns with Saylor’s parallel prediction that Bitcoin would hit $13 million by 2045. Strategy’s Interest in Bitcoin and AI Meanwhile, Strategy currently holds over 553,000 BTC in its crypto reserve, purchased at an average price of $68,459 per coin. As highlighted in our previous article, the firm has announced a $21 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity issuance to buy more Bitcoin. At the recent Corporations conference, Saylor also revealed intentions to delve into the emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) market. He explained that Strategy leverages this powerful digital tool for deep research and financial decisions. According to him, Strategy’s convertible preferred stock products, Strike and Strife, were developed to leverage AI capabilities. Backtracking, Strategy launched both products earlier this year to raise capital for Bitcoin purchases. As explained in our last analysis, Strategy launched its STRF preferred stock on Nasdaq, offering a USD yield. In just five days of launching, the stock soared by almost 18% to $341.81 .
