Michael Saylor, the entrepreneur who founded the enterprise software vider Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy), has a net worth estimated at $9
In the past few years, his focus has shifted to Bitcoin, the world's most valuable cryptocurrency
Saylor's is now accumulating huge amounts of the digital asset
Based on his view that Bitcoin could skyrocket to $13 million per unit by 2045, Saylor is also implying that this exchange-traded fund (ETF), sponsored by giant asset manager BlackRock, also has 12,770% upside from today's price
Here's what investors need to know if they are even remotely interested in boosting their portfolio returns

A path to $13 million No one can deny that Bitcoin has been the best-performing asset over the past decade, a period that saw its price soar by 41,820%
Investors who missed the boat might want to heed Saylor's forecast
The billionaire believes that Bitcoin will reach $13 million in 20 years, using his base case
As of June 23, it's trading at $101,000, so Saylor's prediction implies a 129-fold gain
The crypto has a fixed supply of 21 million coins
Saylor believes this key feature will make the digital asset more widely held in the future
In theory, capital will flow from other asset classes -- bonds, equities, and real estate -- into Bitcoin
The base case calls for 7% of global wealth to find its way to the digital token, strong demand that will drive the price higher
Investors must realize that while this kind of price target gets a lot of attention, since it shows an annualized return of 27. 5%, it's important to understand that no one knows what the future will hold
This is especially true with something Bitcoin, which is still a relatively new phenomenon in the world of finance
At the end of the day, what really matters is if you're bullish on Bitcoin or not
Michael Saylor is perhaps the biggest Bitcoin bull ever
In 2020, ing the onset of the pandemic and the unprecedented levels of government stimulus, Saylor completely altered his company's blue, with the sole intention of buying and holding as much Bitcoin as possible
Strategy now owns 592,000 Bitcoins, making it the single biggest non-ETF holder in the world
An easy way to gain exposure to Bitcoin In a seminal moment for the crypto industry, the Securities and Exchange Commission finally apved spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024
These ducts were a monster hit, but the BlackRock is Bitcoin Trust (IBIT -0. 57%) quickly became the most successful
As of June 23, 2025, it had $71 billion in assets
This ETF owns Bitcoin
As a result, its price is meant to track the price movement of the crypto
However, it's crucial that investors know that by owning the ETF, they don't directly own the digital coin
That might not matter, given that the ETF vides accessibility and convenience in a regulatory-compliant way
Investors can buy the is Bitcoin Trust in their traditional brokerage accounts
Even better, there's no need to open a wallet or account specifically for cryptocurrencies
This draws capital from investors who want a seamless option
There is a cost, but it's low at an expense ratio of 0
For institutional investors hedge funds, pension funds, or sovereign wealth funds, this is a small price to pay for operating within their mandates
At least they now have access to a wildly successful investment opportunity
Should Bitcoin one day reach Saylor's $13 million price prediction by soaring 12,770% in 20 years, the is Bitcoin Trust should also register a similar gain
