Michael Saylor, Chairman of MicroStrategy, has predicted a significant shift in U.S. pension fund investment strategies and believes that Bitcoin will become a key component of U.S. pension funds, which manage over $27 trillion in assets.

 There are thousands of pension funds in the United States managing ~$27 trillion in assets.

The State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB), which manages Wisconsin’s public pensions, disclosed a $99 million investment in BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT). Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst, Eric Balchunas, <a href="https://twitter.com/EricBalchunas/status/1790391049560498410" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highlighted</a> this move, which could signal a broader trend, with other pension funds potentially following SWIB’s lead. 
Saylor’s forecast is consistent with the increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin. BlackRock’s Robert Mitchnick recently said that several large institutional investors, including pension funds, were carrying out due diligence with bitcoin investments. 
At this point, the SWIB acquisition is becoming significant for institutional involvement with Bitcoin. At each step taken, the role of Bitcoin is now turning out to be a clear instrument for hedging against inflation and making a high-growth investment. 
This shift might trigger a change in the way pension funds manage their portfolios, thus introducing Bitcoin into a well-diversified investment strategy.
