Michael Saylor, the founder of Microstrategy (now called: Strategy), gave a speech at the "Bitcoin for America" event organized by the Bitcoin Policy Institute on the morning of 3/12.delivered a speech.
Saylor emphasized that the United States has officially launched the Strategic Bit Reserve program and declared its intention to make the United States a global Bit superpower. He believes that many people still do not fully understand the concept of the "Bit superpower," so he has prepared thoroughly for this lecture to explain to everyone how Bit will affect the future of the United States.

ToggleBit will bring the United States an economic value of up to 106 trillion US dollars
Saylor described Bit as Digital Capital, and further stated that the value of Bit will far exceed that of oil, natural gas, and even gold.
"Just looking at the next 20 years, the economic value that Bit will bring to the United States is expected to reach 3 trillion to 106 trillion US dollars, and companies like Strategy have seen their asset value skyrocket from 250 million US dollars to 45 billion US dollars in the past two years, this is the power of Bit," Saylor said confidently.
He also mentioned that within the next 20 years, the total assets of Bit miners like MARA and Riot may reach 20 trillion to 40 trillion US dollars, which is a disruptive capital transfer.
Bit will include rental, development and financing, and generate greater economic benefits
Saylor also used different analogies to explain the value of Bit. He said, "If you own 5% of the land in Manhattan, what would you do? You wouldn't just sell it off, but would rent it out, develop it, or even use it as collateral for financing to generate more value."
Bit is the same way, it is not just a store of assets, but can be used for renting, development, and financing to generate greater economic benefits. He predicts that in the next 20 years, the United States can create 10 trillion US dollars in revenue per year just through the "Strategic Bit Reserve" program.
The rise of the AI economy will be built on Bit in the future
Saylor emphasized that the AI economy is about to rise, and AI cannot have bank accounts or hold credit cards, so the future digital economy will be built on Bit as a form of digital capital.
He predicts that the future AI economy will reach a scale of 100 trillion US dollars, and the future economic system of this era will be based on Bit. He believes that as the global financial system becomes digitized, Bit will become the digital energy network, carrying trillions of US dollars in transactions globally.
Bitcoin is not just a currency, but a digital defense system
Saylor further stated that Bit is not just an asset or a payment tool, but a "digital defense system" that can protect the commercial, military, and financial infrastructure of the United States. He cited the recent hacker attack on Twitter (X) as an example, stating that many users were unable to log in due to the attack on the website, but the Bit network is different, it is a "unbreakable, unalterable, and indestructible" global network.
He even mentioned that even AI cannot crack the security of Bit, as it is built on the most advanced encryption technology, which is the strongest digital protection mechanism in the world today.
Bit is advancing towards the world's largest asset, with capital accelerating inflow
Saylor pointed out that Bit is currently the 8th largest asset in the world, and will rise to become the world's largest asset within 48 months. He stated that the world's capital market is about $900 trillion, of which $450 trillion is "long-term value-preserving capital", but these assets are facing risks such as inflation, war, natural disasters, tariffs, and trade competition, with annual losses of up to $10 trillion.
Bit provides a risk-free, non-corrosive, and non-inflationary capital storage method, so a large amount of capital is accelerating into the Bit network.
If the US controls Bit, it can dominate the global digital economy
Saylor stated that for the US to maintain its status as a superpower, it must control the airspace, maritime, and digital domains, and Bit is the key to dominating the digital domain.
He believes that if the US does not actively deploy, China or Russia may take the lead in controlling the Bit network, thereby affecting the global digital economy. The US government should actively purchase Bit and ensure that Bit mining operates on US soil, in order to consolidate national security and economic dominance.
Saylor proposes a series of strategic Bit plans
Saylor specifically proposed a series of strategic plans, including:
- The government should continue to purchase Bit: and accumulate 1 million Bit within the next 10 years.
- Allow the US dollar and Bit to coexist: use Bit reserves to strengthen the global influence of the US dollar.
- Attract global capital: allow international funds to flow into the US through Bit, promoting US economic development.
- Promote Bit regulations: make the US the leader in Bit and digital capital markets.
He emphasized that if the US can implement the Bit reserve plan, it can effectively solve the national debt, and even create $100 trillion in national wealth, thereby making the US a digital superpower in the 21st century.
Bit is the digital destiny of the US, calling on the public not to sell Bit
Saylor finally concluded: "Bit is the most important investment and economic development opportunity of this century, with a potential value increase from $3 trillion to $106 trillion. This once-in-a-century opportunity, if the US does not seize it, may be surpassed by other countries, and even face great risks in the economy and security."
He also quoted the words of US President Trump: "Never sell your Bit!" and emphasized that Bit is the Manifest Destiny of the US in the digital age, and to master it is to master the future of the US.
