<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Former<strong> MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor made three potential predictions for Bitcoin by the time it reaches 2045. He predicted a bear case where Bitcoin could reach $3 million per coin, a base case of $13 million, and a bull case of massive $49 million per coin.</strong></p>
<p>Saylor’s comments come at a time when more institutions are gaining exposure to the crypto market through Bitcoin and MSTR remains dependent on BTC performance. Saylor has often discussed BTC’s&nbsp; role in fighting inflation but Bitcoin’s long-term value has a deeper bet.</p>

<p>At the Bitcoin 2024 Conference, former MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor made a bold forecast for Bitcoin (BTC). According to him, over the next two decades, there could be three potential scenarios for the largest cryptocurrency by market cap.</p>
<p>The first case is a bear case of Bitcoin price reaching $3 million per coin. Saylor’s base case is of $13 million per coin, and a bull case of a staggering $49 million per coin by 2045.</p>
<p>Interestingly, Saylor’s base case prediction is almost a 30% increase from his previous projection of $10 million. In June this year, the former chief of MSTR called Bitcoin an “economic immortality” in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A60jVnAIX40&amp;t=1s" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">podcast</a> while predicting its journey to $10 million.</p>
<p>A $10 million price point pushes BTC’s market capitalization to around $210 trillion on a fully diluted basis. At a 21 million cap, Bitcoin’s market cap can <a href="https://www.business2community.com/crypto-news/michael-saylor-sees-btc-reaching-a-price-of-13m-by-2045-is-it-possible-02817471" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">propel</a> to $273 trillion. Meanwhile, considering Bitcoin has not even touched $1 million in value, the implications of a bull case valuation can potentially reshape the global financial market by 2045.</p>

<p>The annualized rate of return for Bitcoin under Saylor’s predictions range from 21% to 37% by 2045. If Bitcoin reaches a price point of $49 million by 2045, it’ll form 22% of all assets by touching a capitalization of $1,000 trillion as per Saylor.</p>

<p>In several posts on X, Saylor underlined his bullish stance on Bitcoin. He cited investor Bill Miller who believes there is a growing trend of companies integrating Bitcoin into their balance sheets as a strategic treasury asset.</p>
<p>The former CEO of MicroStrategy has often suggested that BTC plays a role as a hedge against inflation. He reposted, “We now have additional companies coming out and saying we’re going to put #Bitcoin on our balance sheet as a strategic treasury asset,” a statement originally made by Bill Miller.</p>

<p>Saylor has also been taking every opportunity to point to Bitcoin’s public mention. He recently welcomed former President Donald Trump’s proposal to adopt Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset for the United States if he is elected. In response, Saylor called it a “historic move” which “shows that #Bitcoin is winning.” Saylor hints at these developments to probably say Bitcoin serves as a solution to inflation and could become a strategic reserve asset on a national scale.</p>
<h3 id="microstrategy-has-made-a-strategic-btc-bet">MicroStrategy has made a strategic BTC bet</h3>
<p>MicroStrategy Inc. (MSTR), under Saylor, became the largest public holder of Bitcoin. As of June 21, the data by Bitcoin Treasuries <a href="https://bitcointreasuries.net/entities/1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">notes</a> that the company holds 226,331 coins. At the time of writing, MSTR stock price is close to $1,620 and the market capitalization has surpassed $28 billion. If Saylor’s predictions comes true, MicroStrategy’s bet on Bitcoin will massively escalate the company’s valuation and enterprise value, which at press time stands at $33.42 billion.</p>
<p>Since first reporting its BTC balance on August 11, Bitcoin’s value relative to USD has surged by 456%. When compared to Bitcoin, the stock price has increased by 135%. The math seems to suggest that the return on BTC investment could further snowball the stock price.</p>

<p>Therefore, it’s important to point out that Saylor has a vested interest in Bitcoin’s price increase.&nbsp; And so all potential price surge and bull predictions should be viewed with that in mind. That said, over the last year, Bitcoin has increased its value by 127% as per CoinGecko analysis.</p>

Michael Saylor bets on Bitcoin’s bullish future but is $270T market cap achievable?
