open Michael Saylor: Mainstream institutional adoption of Bitcoin began with the January 2024 spot ETF approvals and marks the start of a roughly ten-year 'gold rush' period.

“we have about a 10-year gold rush it runs to 2034... between 2024 and 2034 we will have mined 99% of all the Bitcoin”
Your call:
open Michael Saylor: By 2034, Bitcoin will simply be viewed as a normal, mainstream asset rather than the 'scary exotic thing' it is perceived as today.

“in 2034 it'll simply be the new thing right now it's like the scary exotic thing for most people”
Your call:
partial Michael Saylor: The April 2024 halving will be the most consequential in Bitcoin's history, cutting daily miner-issued supply roughly in half and creating a supply squeeze that is very bullish for the asset.
EP #92 · 2024-03-26 · due: 2024 · ▶ watch
“it will be the most consequential having in the history of Bitcoin in my opinion... it's very bullish for the asset class and for Bitcoin holders”
⚖️ BTC was ~$63,800 at the April 19, 2024 halving. It rallied to a new ATH of $126,210 on Oct 6, 2025 (+98%), then corrected; by Aug 26, 2026 it traded ~$78,700-79,700, only ~+24% above the halving-day price. Net appreciation did occur (new ATH reached, price above halving-day level), but the post-halving multiple (~2x at peak, since given back over a third) was far smaller than prior halving cycles (each of which produced 10x+ gains within 18 months), so 'most consequential halving in history' / 'very bullish' overstates the actual supply-shock effect delivered so far.
open Michael Saylor: Daily new Bitcoin supply will fall to about 225 BTC/day by 2028 and become a statistical rounding error by 2032, as issuance keeps halving while demand persists.

“I think that by 2028 you'll be down to 225 Bitcoin a day... and by 2032 it's a rounding error in the noise”

open Michael Saylor: Bitcoin will outperform the S&P 500 over time, even though its short-term price path is unpredictable.

Your call:
hit Michael Saylor: Within the next one to two years, major Wall Street banks such as JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs will offer loans collateralized by spot Bitcoin ETF shares.
EP #92 · 2024-03-26 · due: 2025-2026 · ▶ watch
“sometime in the next year to two years I'm sure that major wirehouses like JP Morgan or Goldman Sachs will give you loans against that”
⚖️ JPMorgan announced (Bloomberg/CoinDesk, June 4, 2025) it would let clients borrow against spot Bitcoin ETF holdings (BlackRock IBIT, Fidelity FBTC, Grayscale GBTC) at up to 25% LTV, counting crypto ETFs toward net-worth/liquidity for loan eligibility -- about 15 months after this March 2024 prediction, squarely inside the 1-2 year window. Goldman Sachs had not launched an equivalent retail BTC-ETF-collateral lending product by Aug 2026 but was reportedly developing a crypto-collateral tri-party repo program and holds large IBIT/FBTC positions of its own.
open Michael Saylor: The Bitcoin network's value will keep growing by orders of magnitude, moving from a trillion-dollar network toward a ten-trillion and eventually hundred-trillion-dollar network, absorbing any better crypto innovations into itself rather than being replaced.

“you're going to have a trillion, then a 10 trillion, then a hundred trillion dollar network”
Your call:
hit Michael Saylor: The direction of US digital-currency (CBDC/stablecoin) policy will be determined largely by the outcome of the November 2024 election and the incoming administration.
EP #92 · 2024-03-26 · due: 2024 · ▶ watch
“I do think that the future of digital currencies in the US will probably be influenced heavily by the November elections and by the next administration”
⚖️ Trump won the Nov 2024 election and his administration reshaped US digital-asset policy as predicted: a March 2025 executive order created a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and US Digital Asset Stockpile, a separate executive order barred a US CBDC, SEC leadership/enforcement posture shifted pro-crypto, and the GENIUS Act (the first federal stablecoin regulatory framework) was signed into law on July 18, 2025.
open Michael Saylor: If Bitcoin is valued as digital gold and captures the ~$10 trillion gold market as a store of value, its price will reach $500,000 per coin.
EP #9 · 2022-11-03 · due: unspecified (long-term) · ▶ watch
“Gold's worth $10 trillion, and that takes Bitcoin to 500,000.”
⚖️ As of 2026-08-27 BTC trades around $79,700, well below its Oct 5-6, 2025 all-time high of ~$126,200, having since pulled back over 35%. Still nowhere near $500K, and Saylor gave no deadline, so the if-then premise remains genuinely unresolved rather than falsified.
Your call:
open Michael Saylor: If Bitcoin is valued as digital property and captures a $100 trillion share of the broader store-of-value asset class (land, buildings, etc.), its price will reach $5,000,000 per coin.
EP #9 · 2022-11-03 · due: unspecified (long-term) · ▶ watch
“at 10 trillion is 500,000, at 100 trillion is 5 million”
⚖️ Bitcoin's total market cap as of 2026-08-27 (~$79,700 x ~19.9M coins) is roughly $1.6 trillion, less than 2% of the $100 trillion the prediction requires. No deadline was set, so it stays open rather than scored as a miss.
Your call:
open Michael Saylor: Bitcoin is marching toward being valued as a multi-hundred-trillion-dollar asset class, ultimately reaching roughly $10,000,000 per coin.
EP #9 · 2022-11-03 · due: unspecified (long-term) · ▶ watch
“I think, you know, we're marching toward $10 trillion, which is... $10 million a coin.”
⚖️ At ~$79,700/coin on 2026-08-27, Bitcoin's total value is ~$1.6 trillion versus the multi-hundred-trillion valuation implied by $10M/coin -- directionally Bitcoin has grown (from ~$20K in Nov 2022 to an Oct 2025 peak of ~$126K) but is orders of magnitude short, and no deadline makes this unfalsifiable for now.
Your call:
partial Michael Saylor: Zero-marginal-cost digital education could make a PhD-equivalent education available for about $1,000-$2,000 all-in, the price of an iPad and some electricity.
EP #9 · 2022-11-03 · due: unspecified · ▶ watch
“you could create a PhD for $1,000 or $2,000 all in for the... price of an iPad and some electricity”
⚖️ In March 2026 Saylor Academy became the ASIC-accredited nonprofit 'Saylor University,' offering tuition-free, fully online master's degrees where the only cost is $5 per proctored exam (about $75-225 total per program) -- cheaper than his own $1,000-2,000 estimate. But this is master's-level, not PhD-level, credentialing, so the scaling trend is real while the specific PhD claim isn't literally met.
miss Michael Saylor: A simple, permissionless mobile wallet holding both fiat currency and Bitcoin will emerge and dematerialize the entire financial establishment, empowering everyone on Earth to control their own economic life force.
EP #9 · 2022-11-03 · due: unspecified · ▶ watch
“It would completely dematerialize the entire financial establishment, and it would empower everybody on Earth to take possession of their life force.”
⚖️ The MicroStrategy Lightning Network wallet/enterprise-plugin project Saylor was touting around this period (announced late 2022, demoed 2023) went quiet with no public updates since, and by 2026 the renamed 'Strategy' operates purely as a corporate Bitcoin-treasury holding vehicle, not a wallet company. No permissionless universal fiat+BTC wallet has dematerialized the financial establishment; the World Bank's 2025 Global Findex reports 1.3 billion adults still unbanked, with the reduction from ~2022 levels driven mainly by mobile money, not Bitcoin wallets.
