While most Americans were busy working their day jobs, Michael Saylor walked into the White House with a plan to make the United States filthy rich. The Bitcoin evangelist didn’t mess around. Invited to President Trump’s Digital Assets Summit on March 8, 2025, Saylor slapped down a 34-page document outlining how the nation could generate a mind-boggling $100 trillion in economic value over the next decade.
His plan wasn’t subtle. Saylor proposed the U.S. government start buying Bitcoin. A lot of it. Like, 5-25% of the entire supply by 2035. According to his projections, this “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” could generate $16-81 trillion in wealth by 2045. That’s not pocket change.
Saylor’s vision: America hoarding Bitcoin like a digital Fort Knox to unlock trillions in national wealth.
Saylor divided digital assets into four neat categories: tokens for innovation, securities for market efficiency, currencies for commerce, and commodities (primarily Bitcoin) for wealth preservation. This framework, he argued, would finally clear up the regulatory confusion that’s been strangling the industry.
The MicroStrategy CEO didn’t hold back on policy recommendations either. End “hostile and unfair” tax policies. Stop banks from cutting off crypto companies. Get major financial institutions to custody, trade, and finance Bitcoin. The summit marked a significant shift with major industry players like Coinbase, Ripple, and Kraken participating in the discussions. His advocacy builds on years of relentless promotion of Bitcoin’s unique potential across government circles. Unlike volatile cryptocurrencies, he emphasized the benefits of stablecoins providing consistent value for everyday transactions while Bitcoin serves as the ultimate store of wealth. Classic Saylor – go big or go home.
Of course, he framed the whole thing as a national security issue. China’s moving aggressively into digital finance. Other nations might steal America’s economic edge. The message was clear: adopt Bitcoin or risk losing superpower status.
The timeline? Start accumulating Bitcoin immediately. Have regulations sorted by July 22, 2025. Move fast or miss out.
While government officials listened politely, Saylor’s vision represents the crypto industry’s most ambitious White House pitch yet. Will Trump’s administration buy into a plan that fundamentally bets America’s financial future on Bitcoin? That remains to be seen. But one thing’s certain – Michael Saylor isn’t thinking small.
