Is Bitcoin about to go mainstream? Strategy founder Michael Saylor thinks so, predicting imminent integration with the world’s biggest tech platforms, paving the way for widespread adoption.
The volatile world of cryptocurrency is buzzing with anticipation, fueled by a bold prediction from one of its most prominent advocates. Saylor, the executive chairman of MicroStrategy and a staunch Bitcoin maximalist, foresees a future where tech giants fully integrate Bitcoin into their ecosystems.
Saylor’s Vision: Bitcoin in Every Pocket, Bank, and Government
In a recent interview with Laura Trump on Fox News, Saylor outlined a sweeping vision for Bitcoin’s future, encompassing widespread adoption by individuals, corporations, and even governments. He made several key predictions:
- Big Tech Integration: “Ultimately, big tech is going to have to embrace Bitcoin,” Saylor stated definitively. “They’re going to let you hold your Bitcoin on your iPhone, on your Android phone.” He further elaborated that Bitcoin will “find its way into Microsoft software, Amazon software, Google, Apple software.”
- Bank Lending and Custody: “The banks will lend you money against your Bitcoin,” Saylor predicted, highlighting a future where Bitcoin serves as a standard form of collateral for loans. He also reiterated his long-held belief that banks will offer custody services: “Your bank’s going to give you a loan against your Bitcoin. It’ll let you, it’ll buy Bitcoin for you.”
- U.S. Government Holdings: In a particularly bold prediction, Saylor stated, “The U.S. government will hold Bitcoin” as part of a “strategic reserve.”
- Insurance Companies: “Insurance companies will start to support Bitcoin, I think.”
Last night, Fox News' hit show My View with @LaraLeaTrump was devoted to Bitcoin and digital assets, using the words of @realDonaldTrump, @davidsacks47, @SecScottBessent, and yours truly to educate its mainstream audience on the power and promise of this new technology. pic.twitter.com/ibdius5lEi

These predictions paint a picture of Bitcoin becoming a core component of the global financial system, deeply integrated into both consumer technology and institutional finance.
“Misrepresentation and Passing Off”
Craig Wright, who controversially claims to be Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto (a claim widely disputed and rejected), sharply criticizes Saylor, accusing him of “misrepresentation and passing off.” In an October 2024 statement, Wright argued that BTC (Bitcoin Core) is not the true Bitcoin:
“Michael Saylor stands before the world, falsely proclaiming that BTC is Bitcoin… Bitcoin, as designed, is meant for small, casual transactions, peer-to-peer, without the need for a middleman. BTC…cannot function this way. It has been distorted, manipulated, and centralized…[Saylor’s] ambition is not to serve the ideal of Bitcoin, but to insert himself, to control, to profit… This is not innovation. This is the betrayal of the principles Bitcoin was built upon… He is not preserving Bitcoin—he is co-opting it…”
Bitcoin Vision and American Leadership
Saylor connected his Bitcoin predictions to a broader vision of American economic leadership. He argued that embracing Bitcoin and digital assets would allow the U.S. to “become bankers to the world,” exporting its currency and fostering innovation. He specifically mentioned supporting the creation of digital tokens, securities, and currencies.
Saylor’s interview provided a detailed and optimistic outlook on Bitcoin’s future. He envisions a world where Bitcoin is seamlessly integrated into everyday technology and finance, serving as a store of value, a form of collateral, and a tool for economic empowerment. While his predictions are ambitious, they reflect a growing belief in the transformative potential of Bitcoin and its role in shaping the future of finance.
