Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) could become a global digital capital asset by 2036, with wider adoption by companies, banks and governments.
Saylor said he expects Bitcoin to serve as reserve capital, collateral for digital lending and infrastructure for high-value financial settlements.
“Bitcoin’s job is not to become everything. Bitcoin’s job is to be the thing that does not change,” said Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.
Saylor said future financial products, including lending, insurance, custody and derivatives, could be built around Bitcoin while its base protocol remains stable.
He also said Bitcoin could become more widely owned by individuals, corporations, investment funds, banks and sovereign governments over the next decade.
Saylor's outlook describes a long-term vision rather than a confirmed outcome, with broader adoption depending on institutional demand and the growth of Bitcoin-backed financial markets.
Bitcoin's future role as reserve capital, collateral and settlement infrastructure will depend on whether financial institutions and governments adopt the asset at the scale Saylor expects.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $63,741.52.
