Michael Saylor Unveils $100 Trillion Crypto Strategy at White House Summit

Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, outlined a bold cryptocurrency vision at the White House Digital Assets Summit, claiming the U.S. could unlock up to $100 trillion in economic value over the next decade by implementing clear regulations, fostering innovation, and strategically acquiring bitcoin.

Saylor categorized digital assets into four key classes: digital tokens for innovation, digital securities for market efficiency, digital currencies to strengthen the U.S. dollar, and digital commodities like bitcoin for wealth preservation. His proposal aims to integrate crypto seamlessly into traditional finance while eliminating regulatory uncertainty.

He urged the government to remove restrictions on cryptocurrencies, ensuring businesses gain quick access to capital markets while reinforcing the dollar’s global dominance. Saylor also called for an end to what he described as “hostile” tax policies, advocating for fair regulations that prevent fraud while allowing major banks to custody and trade bitcoin.

A cornerstone of his strategy is a national bitcoin reserve, proposing that the U.S. acquire 5%-25% of bitcoin’s total supply by 2035 through systematic purchases. According to Saylor, this reserve could generate $16-$81 trillion by 2045, potentially addressing national debt challenges.

The first White House Crypto Summit, signaling a shift toward a pro-crypto stance under the Trump administration, hosted executives from Coinbase, Ripple, Kraken, Gemini, and other major players.

Saylor’s firm, Strategy, has led by example, accumulating 499,096 BTC since 2020. He believes that government support, rather than regulatory suppression, is key to unlocking crypto’s full potential, positioning the U.S. as a global leader in digital assets.
