Michael Saylor warned that the United States risks missing a major financial shift. Speaking at CPAC 2025, the executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) argued that the US has a chance to acquire 20% of Bitcoin’s supply. He said this could strengthen the dollar and bring economic benefits.
“The US could own 20% of the network like that—for free,” Saylor said. “The dollar would strengthen, the nation would be enriched, and we could generate a $50 trillion to $80 trillion benefit for the United States.”
Meanwhile, BTCUSD has been moving upwards, following a trendline on the H1 chart. The cryptocurrency has experienced two consecutive bullish days.
Bitcoin Could Reduce US National Debt
Saylor compared Bitcoin to historical US acquisitions like the Louisiana Purchase and Alaska. He claimed that Bitcoin is a new digital frontier that the US must control before rivals act. He pointed to China, Russia, and Europe as potential competitors.

He suggested that Donald Trump understands Bitcoin’s value. He hinted at discussions among political leaders about Bitcoin’s role in the US economy. He argued that Bitcoin could help reduce national debt and improve financial stability.
Only One Nation Can Dominate Bitcoin
“There is only room for one country to buy 20% of the network,” Saylor said. “And once that happens, it’s over.”
He described Bitcoin as a secure asset that governments cannot manipulate. He claimed that integrating it into US reserves could attract global capital and strengthen the financial system.
Saylor concluded by stressing urgency. He argued that only one country can take 20% of Bitcoin’s supply and that the US must act before others do.
BTCUSD Eyes 100K with Bullish Breakout
The BTCUSD H1 chart shows an uptrend, following a trendline. The cryptocurrency has formed two bullish candles on the daily chart. As of now, it’s trading around 98.850, where it faced rejection last week.
A bullish breakout at this level could push the price toward 100K. However, if the price faces rejection again at the horizontal resistance, it may consolidate between the trendline’s support and the horizontal level.
Earlier, DeepSeek AI has presented three potential scenarios for Bitcoin in 2025. In the base case, Bitcoin is expected to trade between $100,000 and $150,000, according to Finance Magnates.
In a bullish “hyperbitcoinization” phase, the price could reach $350,000. A black swan scenario, however, suggests Bitcoin could peak at $500,000. These projections are based on expectations of increased institutional adoption and greater acceptance of blockchain in global finance.
