- Michael Saylor predicts Bitcoin will grow to 10x gold as adoption by treasuries rises.
- Over 190 firms now hold Bitcoin, with institutional reserves surpassing 1.5 million coins.
- Deutsche Bank sees central banks holding Bitcoin and gold together by 2030.
Bitcoin could become ten times larger than gold, according to Michael Saylor, who highlighted the cryptocurrency’s expanding role in corporate treasuries and national reserves. His comments follow rising adoption from publicly traded firms and institutions while gold continues to trade at record highs.
Saylor, speaking in a recent interview, identified Bitcoin as the “next frontier” for governments and companies managing reserves. He emphasized its unlimited, programmable structure, contrasting it with the physical restrictions and tariffs that limit the utility of gold. The executive argued that the digital asset offers balance sheet protection that traditional cash holdings and share buybacks cannot deliver.
He linked his outlook to the proposed U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve bill, which aims to incorporate the asset into national financial planning. Saylor also reshaped a phrase historically tied to gold, stating, “Bitcoin is money, everything else is credit.” His remarks add to earlier predictions that capital will increasingly shift from gold to Bitcoin due to the metal’s vulnerability to tariffs and policy risks.
Corporate Treasuries Increase Bitcoin Holdings
The remarks coincide with a surge in corporate Bitcoin accumulation. Saylor’s company, Strategy, purchased 850 tokens valued at $99.7 million, raising its total to nearly 640,000 coins and preserving its position as the largest corporate holder.
Other companies have followed. Metaplanet, based in Japan, added $632 million in reserves, boosting its total to nearly $3 billion and surpassing Bullish in the global rankings. In Brazil, OranjeBTC acquired 3,650 tokens worth $385 million before its planned public listing, becoming the largest corporate treasury in Latin America.
More than 190 publicly traded firms now hold the asset, with institutional reserves exceeding 1.5 million coins. Analysts point to sustained demand, strengthened by inflows into exchange-traded funds managed by groups such as BlackRock, as a factor tightening supply.
Central Banks Weigh Bitcoin and Gold
Saylor extended his comparison to financial history, noting that global markets once relied on gold-backed credit for centuries. He predicted that Bitcoin-backed instruments could define the future. His framing positioned the asset not just as a hedge, but as digital capital capable of anchoring broader credit systems.
Some voices highlight both assets as complementary. Author Robert Kiyosaki has recommended holding Bitcoin, gold, and silver to withstand financial uncertainty. A separate report from Deutsche Bank projected that by 2030, central banks may include Bitcoin alongside gold in reserves, citing shared features of scarcity, liquidity, and trust.
