Michael Saylor: Digital Asset 'Gold Rush' Will Continue Until 2035, Strategy Has No Fixed BTC Holdings Target

BlockBeats news, October 9 — Strategy founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor said in an interview with Binance that the period from now until 2035 is a "gold rush" era for digital assets, and that the crypto economy remains small compared with other global asset markets and is in a high-growth phase. He believes that by 2035, 99% of Bitcoin will have been mined, which is one of the reasons he judges the industry is still in its early stages.

Saylor positioned Bitcoin as "digital capital" and identified ETFs and wrapped Bitcoin products, treasury companies, digital credit, and bank collateralized credit as the four main directions driving adoption. He stressed that Strategy has no fixed Bitcoin holdings target: "We accumulate Bitcoin as we raise capital." The company's holdings have increased to about 848,000 BTC.

He said digital credit products such as STRC are designed to provide volatility and cash flow characteristics different from directly holding BTC, in order to suit investors who cannot withstand Bitcoin's volatility. STRC is a perpetual preferred stock issued by Strategy that pays cash dividends. In addition, he focuses on Bitcoin's 200-week moving average and the premium or discount of its price relative to that average, and believes that funds that previously flowed to AI and large private financings have begun to flow back into the crypto market.
