Saylor’s forecast — which upgrades his $10 million estimate in June — is only a base case. “It could be a $3 million bear case, it could be a $49 million bull case,” according to Saylor, who urged listeners at the Nashville, Tennessee event to become “triple maxi” Bitcoin (BTC) bulls.

“You financed the house for Bitcoin, you buy Bitcoin, you flip all your assets to Bitcoin, and then you move to a cheap tax jurisdiction where you actually can avoid some taxes and invest an extra fifty grand in Bitcoin,” Saylor explained.
“What’s the result?” A net worth of some $214 million, according to Saylor, who recommends a similar strategy for corporations and nation-states.Source: Michael Saylor
For Saylor, all physical capital — everything from stocks and bonds to Ferraris and Miami Beach real estate — is subject to the laws of thermodynamics, including entropy, or energy’s tendency to dissipate over time.
“Entropy is diluting the value of physical assets. It’s sucking the capital, the energy out of them,” Saylor explained.
Even in a best-case scenario — such as the United Kingdom’s Crown Estate, which has been held by the Royal Family since 1066 — “physical assets might last 1,000 years, [but] probably about 50 to 75 years is the best you’re going to get,” he said. “There’s a reason it’s called Earth and not Heaven.”
Bitcoin is the exception, he noted. “Bitcoin is immortal, immutable, and immaterial, […] and it is the solution to our economic dilemma,” according to Saylor, who added that the cryptocurrency is “not in the physical world” and has “an infinite lifespan.”
MicroStrategy is one of the world"s largest public holders of Bitcoin. As of June 20, it held a total of 226,331 BTCacquired for roughly $8.33 billion at an average price of $36,798 per coin.
