Saylor stated:
“It becomes a fait accompli. It’s one of those geopolitical moves that when you embrace the network, you force all of your allies first to adopt it, and then all your enemies have to adopt it.”
Market Effects
Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin purchases have previously triggered positive market movement. Strategy’s stock jumped 4.8% in premarket just last week as Bitcoin climbed above $87,000. Other crypto-related companies like Coinbase and Robinhood also saw some gains following the previous announcements. Such large acquisitions often create buying pressure that serves as a bullish signal for hesitant institutional investors who are still on the fence about cryptocurrency.
This time, however, Strategy (MSTR) shares are still down by over 4% in pre-market trading after collapsing by 11% on Friday amid a brutal stock market correction.

A $200 Trillion Vision
Saylor’s Bitcoin institutional investment strategy extends well beyond just corporate treasury management. He envisions Bitcoin eventually becoming a $200 trillion asset class by 2045, serving as a global settlement layer for AI-driven interactions and transactions.
Saylor had this to say:
“When Bitcoin spreads… and there’s a trillion dollars of digital capital in the banking system, it won’t just be in the U.S. It’s a virus. And so the virus spreads. And in this case, that means you’re going to have hundreds of thousands of banks and trillions of dollars that are held by a billion people.”
President Trump’s executive order establishing a U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve has certainly strengthened this vision. The order essentially directs the Treasury to never sell U.S. Bitcoin and develop additional ways to acquire more, marking a significant milestone for crypto market impact and institutional adoption.
Saylor’s influence now extends beyond just corporations, as he actively advises nations on Bitcoin strategic reserves. His aggressive Bitcoin holdings expansion may well become the blueprint for other corporations and governments, validating many optimistic Bitcoin price predictions in the coming years.
