Michael Saylor Says MSTR Could Buy All Remaining Bitcoin Before 2140: Report

• MSTR executive chairman Michael Saylor stated  in an interview that institutional demand and “digital credit” products are now absorbing nearly all newly mined Bitcoin entering the market.
• He predicted Bitcoin could eventually reach $21 million per coin over the next 21 years if adoption trends continue.
• Saylor added that tokenization is the next major shift for capital markets that could create more efficient and competitive credit systems.

Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor said on Thursday that institutional demand for Bitcoin (BTC) is becoming so large that his company could eventually absorb nearly all newly mined supply for the rest of the asset’s existence.

Speaking during a CNBC interview, Saylor said Strategy has already purchased more Bitcoin this year than miners have produced, reinforcing his long-standing argument that the market is entering a structural supply squeeze.

“The formation of digital credit means that the credit market itself is absorbing all of the organic supply of Bitcoin from now to forever,” Saylor said. “With our company, we’ll probably buy all of the Bitcoin produced by miners between here and the year 2140.”

Bitcoin’s final supply cap is fixed at 21 million coins, though the last Bitcoin is not expected to be mined until around 2140 due to the network’s halving structure.

Bitcoin’s price was trading at around $77,100 on Thursday morning, down 0.4% in the last 24 hours. Retail sentiment around the apex cryptocurrency on Stocktwits trended in ‘bearish’ territory over the past day, with chatter at ‘normal’ levels.

MSTR’s stock edged 0.6% lower, with retail sentiment also trending in the ‘bearish’ zone over the past day. Chatter stayed at ‘low’ levels.

Bitcoin Supply Shock And Institutional Demand

Saylor stated the broader Bitcoin market is increasingly being shaped by institutional accumulation rather than retail speculation. “There’s not much Bitcoin left,” he said, adding that newly mined supply is now being rapidly absorbed by corporations, ETFs, and structured investment products.

Strategy currently holds roughly $65 billion worth of Bitcoin on its balance sheet, making it the world’s largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency.

Saylor also reiterated his ultra-long-term bullish outlook for Bitcoin prices. “I think 21 years out, I don’t know why it wouldn’t be $21 million a coin,” he said.

Tokenization Seen As Future Of Capital Markets

Beyond Bitcoin, Saylor argued that tokenization could fundamentally reshape global financial markets by creating a more open and competitive system for credit formation. “The real power of tokenization is that it creates a free market in credit formation and yield for asset owners,” he said.

According to Saylor, tokenized financial products could eventually reduce reliance on traditional banking systems by enabling investors to access higher-yielding digital assets and credit markets directly.

Despite ongoing skepticism around Bitcoin and cryptocurrency markets, Saylor maintained that adoption continues to accelerate globally. “There’s always going to be skeptics,” he said. “But there are 900 million people that have a crypto account or are buying it.”
