U.Today - Bitcoin's potential to reach astronomical valuations has been a topic of discussion among crypto enthusiasts. One of the most noteworthy predictions comes from Michael Saylor, Chairman of MicroStrategy, who has been a vocal advocate of Bitcoin. According to Bitcoin analyst Luke Broyles, Saylor's recent speech at the BTC Prague event offered some eye-opening insights into his long-term vision for Bitcoin.

In his speech, Saylor reflected on his journey with Bitcoin, admitting that he initially dismissed the digital asset when it was priced at just $892. This skepticism led him to buy Bitcoin later at a much higher price of $9,500.

One of the standout quotes from Saylor's speech, as highlighted by Luke Broyles, was, "Everyone gets Bitcoin at the price they deserve."

Saylor made a bold prediction: when Bitcoin reaches $950,000, many will still wait for it to drop to $700,000 before buying in. However, he implied that such hesitation could result in missing out yet again, as Bitcoin might then skyrocket to $8,000,000. This prediction highlights Saylor's belief in Bitcoin's long-term value proposition and its potential to appreciate significantly over time.

The idea of Bitcoin reaching $8 million may seem far-fetched to some, but it aligns with Saylor's broader perspective on the asset. He views Bitcoin as a superior store of value and a hedge against inflation, with the potential to attract significant capital from traditional assets.

This view has placed MicroStrategy at the forefront of Bitcoin's evolution, now owning 1.1% of the total supply of the world's largest cryptocurrency, valued at around $14.5 billion, in just four years.

The corporation recently announced a $500 million debt sale of convertible notes to increase its Bitcoin holdings. MicroStrategy's long-term convertible debt strategy ensures that it has enough time to benefit from a potential Bitcoin upside while minimizing the cryptocurrency's liquidation risk on its balance sheet.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down 1.07% in the last 24 hours to $66,982.
