On CNBC's Squawk Box, MicroStrategy’s executive chairman Michael Saylor discussed Bitcoin’s market trends, the performance of Bitcoin ETFs, and MicroStrategy's remarkable success. Saylor highlighted that his company’s stock has surged over 800% since August 2020 due to its strategy of buying Bitcoin with funds raised through convertible notes, offering indirect exposure to Bitcoin similar to ETFs.
During the interview, Saylor boldly predicted that Bitcoin could reach $13 million per coin in the next 21 years, expecting Bitcoin’s market cap to grow from 0.1% of global capital to 7%. In a humorous twist, Scottie Pippen chimed in on X (formerly Twitter), referencing his earlier “dream” where Satoshi Nakamoto predicted Bitcoin reaching $84,650 by November 5.
While Pippen’s comment appeared to be ironic, Saylor's ambitious forecast underscores the ongoing debate around Bitcoin’s potential. MicroStrategy, which has accumulated $8.3 billion worth of Bitcoin, remains at the forefront of corporate Bitcoin investment strategies.
