Strategy Chairman Saylor Says $16-$81T in Wealth by 2045 at Stake If the US Fails to Add Bitcoin to New Reserve
Michael Saylor proposed a strategy that could yield $16 to $81 trillion in 20 years for the United States if it starts buying Bitcoin now.
On Friday, the widely dubbed Bitcoin evangelist delivered another masterclass speech at the maiden White House crypto summit. He expounded on the pioneering cryptocurrency’s high-return prowess and how the United States’ immediate full adoption could yield jaw-dropping retributions.
The Strategy executive chairman presented from his carefully crafted 34-page report to US President Donald Trump and other industry leaders. Saylor published this document for the public’s view in a tweet on March 7.
A Staggering $16-$81T At Stake
The staunch Bitcoin advocate projected that the United States could gain $16 to $81 trillion in wealth by simply buying and holding the crypto firstborn. He stated that the newly established US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) has the potential to deliver these staggering figures if the nation starts to stack the premier asset right away.
To hit the wealth target, Saylor suggested that the US acquire between 5% and 25% of Bitcoin’s total cap before 2035, when miners will mint 99% of them. When the nation has stacked that much, he stated that the simple demand-supply economics would do the rest.
Notably, this forecast aligns with the Strategy chairman’s earlier $13 million prediction. For perspective, if the US adds 1,050,000 BTC (5% of total supply) to its existing 198,109 BTC and the asset surges to $13 million, the stash would be worth $16.23 trillion.
He charged President Trump to quickly swing into action to avert losing an early adopter edge. The evangelist stressed that China and Russia are already demonstrating interest in the nascent industry, and America is at risk of passing this generational goldmine over to them.
US to Hit $60-$100T if It Adopts Complete Crypto Framework
Meanwhile, Saylor distributed the crypto industry into four sectors, each providing unique opportunities for adoption. He shared the sector into digital tokens, securities, currencies, and commodities.
Furthermore, he classified Bitcoin under commodities, stablecoins under currencies, and assets like XRP under tokens. Saylor believes tokenized bonds and ETFs would escalate, so he classifies them under securities.
If the US builds its economy around these narratives, the chairman believes it could add $60 trillion to $100 trillion to the US economy. His revenue partition is as follows: commodities, $20 trillion; securities, $20 trillion; and tokens and currencies yielding $10 trillion each.
Moreover, Trump reassured US crypto investors of his ploy to make America the “Bitcoin superpower of the world.” He made this claim at the Friday crypto summit, reiterating that he wants the nation to be ahead on all fronts.
