Founder of MicroStrategy Predicts: AI and ETFs Will Drive Bitcoin Gold Rush in the Next Decade
In a recent event called “Bitcoin Atlantis,” MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor made a bold prediction about the future of Bitcoin. Based on the launch of a physical Bitcoin ETF and the flourishing development in the field of autonomous artificial intelligence (AI), Saylor predicts that the next ten years will witness an institutional battle for Bitcoin similar to the modern-day gold rush.

The supply limit of the Bitcoin network is 21 million, and it is currently approaching the mining limit. Approximately 93.5% of Bitcoin has already been mined. Saylor predicts that by 2035, 99% of the total Bitcoin supply will have been extracted, indicating a transition from the discovery phase to a strong growth period.
The current launch of a physical Bitcoin ETF is changing the way investors interact with Bitcoin and has become a crucial distribution channel. However, Saylor foresees that as traditional financial institutions begin to facilitate Bitcoin transactions, significant investments will become extremely easy and can be completed within an hour.
Additionally, the integration of Bitcoin and autonomous AI technology is expected to further amplify the demand. With the convergence of the digital and AI fields, Bitcoin becomes increasingly indispensable as a foundation for network security and a “truth system.”
Saylor also addresses the environmental issues associated with Bitcoin mining. As the network becomes more energy-efficient, the focus of political and environmental scrutiny shifts to the energy demands of AI technology. This shift is seen as an opportunity for Bitcoin to alleviate criticism regarding its environmental impact.
Investment strategist Lyn Alden responds to Saylor’s views, emphasizing the transformative impact of national adoption of Bitcoin. Countries that embrace Bitcoin can experience tangible economic benefits, from creating financial centers to attracting capital. Although some countries hesitate due to concerns about weakening their currencies, the global trend is still moving towards adoption and integration.
In the discussion group that Michael Saylor participated in, it was also mentioned how capital controls by oppressive regimes inadvertently drive the adoption of Bitcoin, with Nigeria’s thriving peer-to-peer market as a typical example. These scenarios highlight the inherent power of Bitcoin to overcome regulatory barriers and pave the way for a more inclusive and accessible financial future.
Based on the above, these speakers believe that as we stand at the beginning of a decade of Bitcoin transformation, the interaction between ETFs, AI, and the global adoption narrative paints a picture of a digital gold rush. With its limited supply and expanding utility, Bitcoin not only survives scrutiny and challenges but also lays the foundation for unprecedented growth and innovation in the digital age.
