Michael Saylor told a Prague crypto audience that Bitcoin (BTC) would climb from roughly $70,000 to $7 million per coin, calling the surge inevitable.
Key Points:
- Saylor projected Bitcoin reaching $7 million per coin during his BTC Prague 2026 keynote.
- He said the network could eventually swell to a $100 trillion valuation.
- Bitcoin holds about $1 trillion of an estimated $1,000 trillion in global wealth.
Saylor's Prague Forecast
Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy, made the call during a keynote titled "Bitcoin Capitalism" at the BTC Prague 2026 conference. He argued the coin would move from $70,000 to $700,000 and then to $7 million as conventional capital flows in. Price, he said, would only follow the network higher over the long term.
By his accounting, Bitcoin makes up only about $1 trillion of an estimated $1,000 trillion in global wealth today. That leaves close to 99.9% of the world's capital sitting outside the network, a gap he described as the room left to grow.

Bitcoin's $100 Trillion Bet
To reach that scale, Saylor put a single figure on the network's potential, a total value of $100 trillion. He estimated that roughly $200 trillion in bank capital stays walled off from Bitcoin under current rules and infrastructure. Wealth managers, pension funds and insurers face the same operational barriers, he said.
The fix runs through products rather than slogans.
He pitched Bitcoin-backed instruments for digital credit, digital money and digital yield, each built to meet the standards of traditional finance. Strategy reinforced the message this week, adding 1,587 BTC for roughly $100 million to lift its reserve to 846,842 BTC. Saylor also clarified that his long-standing "never sell" advice was meant for individual holders, not a public company.
Skeptics read the targets less generously. Standard analysis doubts that a single asset can absorb close to a tenth of global capital, a shift that would assume few regulatory roadblocks and limited competition from central bank digital currencies over coming decades.
Bitcoin Price Swings
The forecast lands as Bitcoin steadies near $66,000, well above the $59,130 low it touched during a sharp June selloff. Sentiment has firmed alongside a nearing US-Iran peace deal and the first Federal Reserve meeting under new chair Kevin Warsh. A month of wild swings has left traders weighing the rebound against the next macro test, with a Fed decision due this week.
