Michael Saylor said Bitcoin will outperform the S&P 500 over time during a Thursday appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box. He said Strategy expects Bitcoin to deliver annual returns of about 30%, above the index’s long-term average. Saylor also repeated his $13 million Bitcoin price target for 2045 and said $60,000 marked the asset’s bottom.
Bitcoin Outlook Tops Michael Saylor’s Market Case
Saylor told CNBC that Bitcoin will “go up” more than the S&P 500 over time. He said Strategy expects annual returns near 30%.
He compared that view with the S&P 500’s long-term annualized return of about 10%. The index tracks 500 large public companies in the United States.
So far this year, the S&P 500 has gained 8%, based on Google Finance data. Bitcoin has fallen 12% over the same period.
Saylor said Strategy’s forecast supports his long-term Bitcoin thesis. He said the company expects the asset to outperform traditional benchmarks over time.
He also linked that outlook to his $13 million price target for 2045. Saylor said Bitcoin could average about 29% annual returns over the next 19 years.
According to Saylor, institutional adoption supports that case. He also pointed to government treasury strategies and Bitcoin’s fixed supply.
Saylor has repeated this view before. Earlier this year, he said Bitcoin could double or triple the S&P 500’s performance over four to eight years.
Regulation and Market Support Stay in Focus
During the same interview, Saylor said Bitcoin would rally from current levels. He said $60,000 served as the asset’s bottom.
He described the market as entering a “spring phase.” He said Bitcoin had support near current levels and a favorable macro backdrop.
Saylor also pointed to regulatory developments in the United States. He said progress on the CLARITY Act could help the crypto sector.
He referred to the bill’s passage through the Senate Banking Committee last week. He said the measure advanced with bipartisan support after months of delays.
Saylor also mentioned expected guidance from the US Securities and Exchange Commission. He said the agency could introduce innovation exemptions for tokenized securities.
He said those exemptions could support securities tokenization on crypto networks. That process could expand blockchain activity across financial markets.
The latest update from Saylor’s remarks was his view on support levels. He said Bitcoin’s floor stood at $60,000 during Thursday’s CNBC interview.
