Michael Saylor discusses potential BTC reserve, predicts market movement
Saylor noted that Trump could target even higher
MicroStrategy co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor analyzed the possible creation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the United States.
In a recent statement, Saylor pointed to the economic benefits that such a reserve could bring, aligning with proposals like Senator Cynthia Lummis’ plan to acquire one million Bitcoins.

Saylor noted that Bitcoin could significantly bolster the U.S. economy, estimating that a Bitcoin reserve strategy could potentially add $16 trillion to national economic value over time. Speaking about former President Donald Trump’s rumored interest in Bitcoin, Saylor suggested that Trump’s stance highlights growing recognition of Bitcoin’s long-term value as a financial and strategic asset.
Gradual accumulation strategy
“All capital outside the U.S. and obsolete 20th century investments are moving into digital assets like bitcoin,” Saylor emphasized. He advocated for a gradual accumulation approach, likening it to the historical acquisition of Manhattan real estate. He explained that the U.S. could benefit from steadily acquiring Bitcoin over decades rather than attempting a rapid buildup. This measured strategy would allow the United States to leverage Bitcoin’s appreciating value without disrupting the broader financial market.

Saylor also noted that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s proposal to purchase 4 million Bitcoins could create value of up to $56 trillion. Saylor noted that Trump could target even higher, with potential revenue of $81 trillion, more than double the current U.S. national debt of $36 trillion.
By positioning Bitcoin as a reserve asset, the U.S. could secure a hedge against inflation and rising national debt while reinforcing its leadership in the evolving digital economy. Saylor emphasized Bitcoin’s unique characteristics—finite supply, decentralized structure, and increasing global adoption—as critical factors underpinning its suitability for such a role.
Broader market implications
Saylor’s remarks arrive at a time when institutional interest in Bitcoin is growing, with policymakers and businesses exploring its utility as a store of value. If implemented, the creation of a U.S. Bitcoin reserve could drive further confidence in Bitcoin and influence its price trajectory.
Looking ahead, market observers will watch closely for signals from policymakers or the Trump campaign regarding Bitcoin’s strategic role in the U.S. economy. Saylor’s vision, while ambitious, reflects a broader shift toward digital assets as integral components of national and global financial systems.
