Bitcoin: Saylor: US Faces $81T Wealth Risk by 2045

Saylor: US Faces $81T Wealth Risk by 2045 Without Reserve Adoption
Michael Saylor has outlined a strategy that could potentially generate a staggering $16 to $81 trillion for the United States within 20 years, simply by starting to invest in Bitcoin now.
On Friday, the well-known Bitcoin advocate delivered another insightful presentation at the inaugural White House crypto summit.cHe elaborated on Bitcoin’s potential for high returns and explained how immediate, widespread adoption by the United States could unlock incredible financial gains.
The executive chairman of Strategy presented his ideas from a detailed 34-page report to US President Donald Trump and other key figures in the industry. Saylor made this document publicly available on March 7 via a tweet.
Potentially $16-$81 Trillion Up For Grabs
This vocal supporter of Bitcoin projected that the United States could amass between $16 and $81 trillion in wealth just by purchasing and holding this leading cryptocurrency. He suggested that the newly established US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) could deliver these remarkable returns if the nation begins accumulating Bitcoin immediately.
To achieve this ambitious wealth target, Saylor recommended that the US acquire 5% to 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply before 2035, when 99% of all Bitcoins will have been mined. Once the nation holds this quantity, he explained that basic supply and demand principles would take over to drive value.
Interestingly, this projection aligns with the Strategy chairman’s earlier $13 million price prediction for Bitcoin. To put it in perspective, if the US were to add 1,050,000 BTC (5% of the total supply) to its current holdings of 198,109 BTC, and Bitcoin’s value were to reach $13 million, this stash would be worth a staggering $16.23 trillion.
He urged President Trump to act quickly to seize an early adopter advantage, emphasizing that both China and Russia are already showing keen interest in this emerging sector. He cautioned that America risks forfeiting this once-in-a-generation financial opportunity to these nations.
US Could Reach $60-$100T by Fully Embracing Crypto
Furthermore, Saylor categorized the crypto industry into four distinct sectors, each presenting unique avenues for adoption. He divided these sectors into digital tokens, securities, currencies, and commodities.
Expanding on this, he placed Bitcoin within the commodities sector, stablecoins under currencies, and assets like XRP in the tokens category. Saylor anticipates significant growth in tokenized bonds and ETFs, classifying them under securities.
According to the chairman, if the US builds its economic framework around these crypto sectors, it has the potential to add an astonishing $60 trillion to $100 trillion to the national economy. He broke down this potential revenue as follows: $20 trillion each from commodities and securities, and $10 trillion each from both tokens and currencies.
Adding to the positive sentiment, Trump reassured US crypto investors of his commitment to make America the “Bitcoin superpower of the world.” He declared this ambition at the crypto summit, reiterating his desire for the nation to lead across all fronts.
