Did Michael Saylor Just Admit $100,000 Bitcoin by Christmas is Coming? | EP 1613

SPEAKER_1 (0:02)

Michael Saylor just went on Bloomberg and made some bold predictions for Bitcoin in 2026

And this short snippet I got for you, it was a 15 minute interview, but I got the most bullish part out of it. He gave us, as in Michael Saylor, his short-term prediction on when he thinks Bitcoin is going to hit 100K, and he also gave us the math behind his new $19 million Bitcoin long-term prediction. So let me play you the clip and I'll unpack it for you guys. Honestly, Saylor is kind of back in prime condition here, prime bullishness, guys. So it's going to be a bullish show, all right? It's going to be a bullish show. Here we go.

SPEAKER_2 (0:40)

You've said twice during this conversation that we're in a bull market when it comes to Bitcoin right now. How high in this cycle do you see it going?

Michael Saylor (0:51)

Yeah, I think that it should definitely move back into the six figures, back beyond $100,000. And our long-term forecast is Bitcoin grows 20 to 30% a year over the next 20 years.

So clearly the last 12 months have been a contraction. I think we hit the bottom around slightly below 60,000. I think we bounced off it. Now we're moving up into the 80s. I think we'll continue to march forward from here.

SPEAKER_4 (1:19)

$100,000 by when, Michael?

Michael Saylor (1:23)

I'm not a short-term trader. We make plans in centuries.

SPEAKER_4 (1:26)

No, but you understand this market.

SPEAKER_2 (1:28)

You've seen the ups and downs.

SPEAKER_4 (1:29)

I mean, and you've got conviction behind this number.

SPEAKER_2 (1:32)

I'm just curious, by the end of the year, by the middle of next year?

Michael Saylor (1:35)

What I would say is if you need your money in the next three months, you should probably have it in a money market fund. If you want to make a decent return in the crypto economy and you need the money in three months to four years, you should buy the digital credit like STRC.

If you don't need money for the next four years and you're a capital investor, you want to minimize your counterparty risk, you ought to buy Bitcoin and you ought to expect to get like a 20 to 30 percent ARR on that. And then if you're an equity investor and you want to outperform that, you should buy the digital equity of a company like MSTR or Strive. And you can expect to outperform Bitcoin because we're able to amplify our Bitcoin per share with our digital credit.

SPEAKER_4 (2:17)

Okay, okay, guys.

SPEAKER_1 (2:19)

So look, I don't know. Let's read between the lines here. You know, I know Saylor doesn't like to give time predictions, but it sounded like he's saying 100K here pretty soon. And then further, maybe confirming a lot of the things we've been talking about on the show, you know, six figure. Where are we going in six figures, Saylor? Three, four, two, 150 How bullish are we here? So look, I did put some words in Saylor's mouth. I'm pretty convinced 100K by end of year. So we're going to double down on that. 100K by end of year. But the real math here that is the most interesting, it is a little bit of a diversion from what Saylor has predicted in the past. So just to give you the math here, I did a little, you know, AI Gemini, wait, it's Google, it's Google Gemini, right? You know, I did a little Google search, asked them, okay, so what is 20% Kager the next 20 years? What is 30% Kager the next 20 years for Bitcoin? And Google gave me an interesting answer. So it said 20% Kager the next 20 years, if you start at 100K, that is about $3.8 million per coin. I mean, 3.8 million in the next 20 years, doesn't sound too bad. I'll be honest, you know, hey, okay, maybe it's not as bullish as we've heard Saylor in the past, but almost 4 million per coin in the next 20 years, like, I think we will all take that. Now, the more bullish number is 30% Kager at 100K for the next 20 years, is where the math gets absolutely crazy. That's 19 million per coin. Again, starting at 100K, sounds extremely bullish, right? Like I'm like, okay, you know, hey, 20 years, deca million per coin. Honestly, I think we could all live with that. I think we could live with those returns. And I do have the, I still have the search result here. And I think it says that would mean a multiple of 38.34% at 20X growth and 190X growth for the next 20 years at 30%. Look, let's not get greedy. Let's not get too selfish here, okay? I think we could all take that. I think we would all be pretty happy with those numbers. Now, that's probably if you're already been in Bitcoin forever, if you've been a long time holder of Bitcoin, you're like, okay, hey, look, 40X next 20 years. You know, obviously I would want it more, but 190X the next 20 years, you're like, you know, that number sounds a lot better. I like it. I could live with that. I could totally live with that. Though, again, remember his speech. I forget what conference it was. I think it was a Bitcoin conference this year. Maybe it was last year. I forget exactly which one it was. But remember, he had the very bold prediction of saying 42 million per coin in the next 21 years. So, hey, there's a little, you know, what's 20 million amongst friends here? You know, what's the $20 million difference here? So, who knows exactly where we're going? Obviously, no one has a crystal ball, but based on Bitcoin's past performance, we do have a slight idea. I think the numbers that Saylor's been using over the last six years or so, Bitcoin has increased about 38% per year. So, anywhere between those numbers, we're gonna be very happy, okay? Yes, we're in a bear market. Yes, the bears can go out there and glow and say, oh, Bitcoin's 50% down or whatever, 34 or whatever it is today. You know, it did have a little bit of a dip here.
