Michael Saylor calls Bitcoin the future of global wealth
Michael Saylor backs Bitcoin again
Michael Saylor, executive chairman and co-founder of MicroStrategy, has once again made a bold statement in support of Bitcoin, calling it the cornerstone of the digital economy.
In a recent public appearance, Saylor emphasized that purchasing Bitcoin remains a valuable long-term strategy — even for those just now entering the market, Coin Edition reports.
Drawing historical parallels, Saylor compared the Bitcoin network to iconic financial centers such as Rome, London, and New York, each of which played a central role in their respective economic eras. In the digital age, he argues, Bitcoin fulfills a similar function — serving as the core infrastructure for digital money and decentralized finance across global jurisdictions, including Singapore and Paris.

Network security and capital shift
Rather than focusing on short-term price volatility, Saylor highlighted Bitcoin’s strength as a reliable and decentralized network. With a fixed supply of 21 million coins and secured by over 400 exahashes of computing power, Bitcoin is, in his view, the most secure computer system in the world.
Saylor also pointed to a gradual shift in global capital away from traditional stores of value — such as gold, real estate, and bonds — and into Bitcoin. He estimates that approximately $950 trillion is currently held in assets which, despite their perceived value, fall short of Bitcoin in terms of efficiency and reliability. Gold, he noted, has significantly underperformed compared to Bitcoin in recent years.
Digital real estate and long-term outlook
Using New York real estate as an analogy, Saylor claimed that “smart” capital continues to flow into dominant assets even decades after their initial rise. Just as investing in Manhattan remained profitable long after its boom, Bitcoin, despite being over a decade old, still offers an attractive entry point.
He also described Bitcoin as “digital real estate” — prime territory in cyberspace. In contrast, he equated most altcoins to penny stocks — low-cost, speculative assets lacking long-term value and robust network strength.
Reinforcing his bullish stance, Saylor recently stated that Bitcoin could reach $1 million or even $10 million — possibly before traditional financial advisors begin recommending it. His view reflects a growing belief among industry leaders in Bitcoin’s long-term dominance in the digital asset space.
