Strategy’s Michael Saylor Predicts Bitcoin Will Pass Gold Value by 2035

Strategy Inc. co-founder Michael Saylor says Bitcoin will surpass gold’s market cap by 2035, and is confident it will become a larger investment within the next 10 years.

Saylor describes Bitcoin as the heart of a “digital gold rush.” He also pointed out that the token’s growing value comes from its limited supply, increased adoption, and its rising importance worldwide.

The Strategy co-founder explained that 2035 marks a key moment for Bitcoin, because by then, 99% of the tokens will have been mined, leaving very few new Bitcoins to be created afterward.

He added that the last 1% of Bitcoin will be released over the next hundred years, noting that this extreme scarcity, combined with growing market acceptance of Bitcoin as digital gold, strengthens its long-term value.

Although Michael Saylor did not discuss broader market dynamics in the interview, his comments align with arguments he made repeatedly in the past, describing Bitcoin as a superior long-term store of value due to its fixed supply and digital design.

Binance to Host Bitcoin vs Gold Debate

The debate over Bitcoin vs gold is gaining more attention in the industry, fueled by public arguments between gold supporter Peter Schiff and Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ).

Recently, Schiff challenged CZ to a direct Bitcoin-versus-gold debate, which may explain Binance’s recent announcement that it will host the debate at its December 2025 Blockchain Week in Dubai.

The event will compare Bitcoin vs tokenized gold to explore which asset offers a better investment. Binance called it “the showdown investors have been waiting for”, and it has sparked a lot of attention in the crypto community.

The debate brings more attention to Saylor’s prediction that Bitcoin will surpass gold by 2035, and many investors see it as a sign that the rivalry between the two assets is becoming mainstream.
