# Michael Saylor Says Digital-Asset Gold Rush Could Last Through 2035 By Sonny Jang Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/people/28771 Published: 2026-10-09T06:55:17.000Z Updated: 2026-10-09T06:55:17.000Z Section: People > Saylor identified ETFs, treasury companies, digital credit and bank-collateralized lending as major adoption channels. Strategy’s holdings had risen to about 848,000 Bitcoin (BTC). Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said the digital-asset “gold rush” could continue through 2035 as adoption expands through investment products, treasury companies, digital credit and bank-collateralized lending. Saylor characterized the period through 2035 as a digital-asset gold rush and said about 99% of Bitcoin will have been mined by then. He presented that milestone as evidence that the market remains in an early stage of development. He identified four major adoption channels: exchange-traded funds and wrapped-Bitcoin products, treasury companies, digital credit and bank-collateralized lending. Saylor also described Bitcoin as “digital capital,” placing it at the base of a broader financial structure. Strategy’s holdings had risen to about 848,000 Bitcoin (BTC), Saylor said. He added that Strategy does not maintain a predetermined holding target and accumulates Bitcoin as it raises capital. Saylor also discussed STRC, Strategy’s perpetual preferred stock. The security is designed to pay cash dividends and provide volatility and cash-flow characteristics that differ from directly holding Bitcoin. He said the structure is intended to address investors who may not be able to tolerate Bitcoin’s volatility. Saylor said he tracks Bitcoin’s 200-week moving average and whether the asset trades at a premium or discount to that measure. He also said capital previously directed toward artificial intelligence and large private-market financing has begun moving back toward crypto markets. Saylor previously said that more digital credit issuers could increase investment opportunities and bring more capital into the Bitcoin economy, a view addressed in [his earlier discussion of digital credit issuers](). ## Links in this article - [his earlier discussion of digital credit issuers](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/people/27521)
