A tech billionaire with an insatiable appetite for Bitcoin has revealed his most audacious plan yet. Michael Saylor, the man who turned his company into a Bitcoin-hoarding machine, wants America to grab up to 25% of all Bitcoin by 2035. Yes, really. His pitch? Turn the US government into history’s biggest crypto whale, potentially generating up to $81 trillion for the Treasury. Talk about thinking big.
The plan reads like a fever dream mixed with a patriotic manifesto. Saylor calls it America’s new “Manifest Destiny” – because apparently conquering the physical frontier wasn’t enough, now we need to dominate the digital one too. His company already owns 499,226 Bitcoin, bought at an average price of $66,360. With a net worth of $7.3 billion, Saylor’s personal fortune continues to grow alongside his ambitious crypto ventures. A recent survey revealed that 38% annual returns were expected by most Bitcoin investors. But that’s just the warm-up act.
Here’s where things get wild. Saylor wants to create a massive framework for digital assets, dividing them into neat categories like tokens, securities, currencies, and commodities. He claims this could release $100 trillion in economic benefits over the next decade. The catch? America needs to end its “war on crypto” first.
But there’s an elephant in the room nobody’s talking about. What happens when one country tries to hoard a quarter of a supposedly decentralized currency? Critics worry this could torpedo Bitcoin’s whole free-market appeal. And let’s not forget the risks of putting so many eggs in one digital basket – especially when you’re using debt to buy them.
The strategy involves daily Bitcoin purchases until 2035, funded partly by government surpluses (assuming those actually exist). Saylor compares it to the Manhattan Project, which seems fitting – both plans involve massive government spending on something that could change everything. Or blow up spectacularly.
Meanwhile, his company plans to raise another $21 billion through preferred stock to buy even more Bitcoin. Because apparently half a million Bitcoin isn’t enough. Welcome to the new arms race – except this time, we’re stockpiling digital gold instead of nuclear warheads.
