Michael Saylor Predicts Bitcoin Will Become "Unaffordable" as Institutional Adoption Grows

Bitcoin (BTC) advocate and Strategy chairman Michael Saylor has reignited debate in the crypto community with a bold prediction: Bitcoin could soon become "unaffordable" for many investors. In a recent tweet, Saylor argued that once traditional banks and financial experts fully embrace Bitcoin, surging demand will push prices to unprecedented levels. Given Strategy’s position as one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin, Saylor’s words carry significant influence. Under his leadership, the firm made Bitcoin its primary treasury reserve asset, reinforcing his role as a leading promoter of Bitcoin’s long-term value.

Saylor believes widespread institutional adoption will be a major catalyst for Bitcoin’s next major rally. Although Bitcoin already enjoys support among individual investors and some institutions, regulatory resistance persists. However, Saylor asserts that eventual endorsement from major financial institutions would legitimize Bitcoin further, intensifying demand. His argument rests on Bitcoin’s scarcity — with only 21 million coins available, a flood of institutional interest could drive prices sharply higher.

Investors, according to Saylor, face a critical choice: buy Bitcoin now or risk missing out as prices climb beyond reach. At present, Bitcoin is trading at $93,953, experiencing a slight 0.3% dip over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. Notably, Bitcoin’s trading volume soared by 90.7% during the same period to $31.8 billion, reflecting rising market interest. While Bitcoin’s future remains volatile, heightened institutional demand, as Saylor predicts, could fuel its next major bull run.
