Michael Saylor is calling $60,000 Bitcoin&#8217;s floor. The Strategy co-founder 
made the claim during a Thursday appearance on CNBC&#8217;s Squawk Box, saying the 
asset is now entering what he described as a &#8220;spring phase&#8221; — backed by solid 
support levels and a favorable broader market environment. Related Reading: 
Zcash Soars 88% In 30 Days: Is ZEC The Stealth Winner Of This Crypto Cycle? A 
Target Built On Bold Math Saylor&#8217;s confidence ties back to a specific 
projection he has held for some time: a 30% average annual return for Bitcoin. 
That number forms the backbone of his prediction that Bitcoin will hit $13 
million by 2045, a figure he arrived at by modeling a 29% yearly return 
sustained over roughly 19 years. Among the forces he expects to drive that 
growth are institutional adoption, government-level treasury strategy, and 
Bitcoin&#8217;s fixed supply — factors he believes will pull capital away from gold 
and traditional financial markets. $MSTR Co-Founder @saylor explains why he 
thinks $BTC will outperform the S&amp;P 500 over time:https://t.co/REOnScJVPZ — 
Squawk Box (@SquawkCNBC) May 21, 2026 The S&amp;P 500, one of the most closely 
watched benchmarks in global finance, tracks 500 of the largest publicly 
traded companies in the US. It has delivered an average annual return of 
around 10%, making it a reliable standby for investors who want steady, long- 
term growth. Saylor is betting Bitcoin can do triple that — a claim he 
repeated plainly on Squawk Box: &#8220;We expect 30%.&#8221; Numbers Tell A Complicated 
Story The current numbers don&#8217;t immediately support his case. As of the time 
of his interview, Bitcoin was down 12% for the year while the S&amp;P 500 had 
gained 8%, according to Google Finance. Saylor has long maintained that short- 
term swings don&#8217;t define Bitcoin&#8217;s trajectory, and he reiterated that position 
Thursday, pointing instead to what he sees as a building wave of regulatory 
and institutional support. Among the specific developments he cited was the 
CLARITY Act, which cleared the US Senate Banking Committee last week with 
bipartisan support after months of delays. He also pointed to upcoming 
innovation exemption guidelines from the US Securities and Exchange Commission 
aimed at allowing securities tokenization on crypto networks, calling it a 
potentially major development for the industry. Related Reading: Analyst Warns

Market Share Saylor has made similar predictions before. Earlier this year, he 
said Bitcoin would double or triple the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s returns over the next four 
to eight years. His longer-range view sees Bitcoin eventually overtaking gold 
in total market value by 2035, pulling in fresh capital that was previously 
locked in conventional assets. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from
