Strategy founder Michael Saylor said in a recent interview that Bitcoin is now firmly positioned as “digital gold” and that its price will continue to rise in the long run.
Michael Saylor: “Bitcoin Is Now Digital Gold and Its Price Will Continue to Rise”
According to Saylor, the US approval of Bitcoin ETFs last year accelerated Bitcoin’s acceptance as a store of value in the markets. Furthermore, the March 2025 crypto summit further reinforced this view.
Saylor reminded that gold-backed loans have historically held an important place in the Western financial system, and stated that Bitcoin, as digital capital, forms the basis of new generation credit instruments.
Emphasizing that growth in the field of digital finance is accelerating, Saylor said that the tokenization process of money, stocks, bonds and other real assets has given great momentum, especially to networks like Ethereum.
Drawing attention to the importance of institutional adoption, Saylor stated that major banks such as JPMorgan, Citibank, and Wells Fargo have recently revised their crypto policies and started accepting Bitcoin and Ethereum as collateral.
Recalling that MicroStrategy was the first Bitcoin-focused company to receive an S&P credit rating, Saylor stated that its products were preferred by many institutional investors, including BlackRock’s PFF fund.
He emphasized that the company’s ultimate goal is to reach a $300 billion Bitcoin portfolio and increase the global adoption of Bitcoin through digital lending tools.
