Can Bitcoin truly outshine traditional markets for decades to come? Michael Saylor Bitcoin prediction says that BTC will outperform the S&P 500 index “forever,” setting off debates across the financial world.
The Strategy co-founder and executive chairman believes asset's appreciation will consistently surpass equities, making it the ultimate form of "digital capital".
Michael Saylor interview with Coin Stories hosted by Natalie Brunell, he argued that it rises faster than traditional equities, including the index. He estimated that the index could lose nearly 29% each year against the asset for the next 21 years.
He described BTC’s fixed supply and decentralized nature as clear advantages over currencies such as the US dollar which devalued under inflation and central bank policies.

On September 5, according to a Bloomberg report, Strategy had cleared the S&P 500 profitability bar with a $14B unrealized gain last quarter. If the firm were added to the index, analysts say that tract the S&p 500 would have to buy 10m of shares which is about $16B at today’s prices.
Mentioning Bitcoin as “digital capital", Saylor suggested it could underpin a new era of credit instruments. His forecast that Bitcoin-backed loans will pay higher yields, last longer and eventually rival sovereign debt and corporate bonds.

He discussed in the interviews that :
BTC has already outperformed the S&P 500 over the past decade.
Digital gold’s scarcity makes it more reliable than the traditional currencies.
Institutional adoption will accelerate as volatility decreases.
