Michael Saylor Envisions Bitcoin as a Key Solution to U.S. Debt Crisis

MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor appeared on CNBC, discussing how Bitcoin (BTC) could address the growing U.S. debt crisis.

He likened the cryptocurrency to early investments in Manhattan, emphasizing its potential as a long-term asset and a strategic reserve for the country.

Saylor has long championed Bitcoin as a critical asset for the U.S., proposing that the government either sell part of its gold reserves or borrow modestly to invest 20-25% of its holdings into Bitcoin. He argued that this move would attract significant capital flows to the U.S. while enhancing Bitcoin’s global value.

To illustrate his point, Saylor compared buying Bitcoin today to purchasing Manhattan real estate centuries ago. “Investing in Manhattan has been a good decision for over 300 years, even though each generation pays more than the last.

Bitcoin is similar, offering the opportunity to become the digital capital of the free world,” he said. Saylor projects that Bitcoin could grow 100x from current levels and believes the U.S. should act now before prices climb further.

MicroStrategy has aggressively adopted a Bitcoin acquisition strategy over the past four years, amassing 439,000 BTC, valued at approximately $46 billion. Just this week, the company added another 15,350 BTC to its holdings. Saylor confirmed that MicroStrategy plans to continue accumulating, with no defined cap on its Bitcoin reserves.

During the interview, Saylor also shared an optimistic forecast for Bitcoin’s future. He predicts a consistent annual growth rate of 29%, which could push BTC’s value to $13 million by 2045. He believes that factors such as increased Bitcoin ETF adoption and favorable regulatory developments will accelerate this growth.
