Microstrategy\u2019s Executive Chairman and Co-founder, Michael Saylor, is one who always uses every opportunity to heap praises on the flagship cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Once again, he didn\u2019t disappoint, as BTC was the center of discussion in his latest media appearance.\u00a0 Bitcoin Going To $1 Million In an interview with CNBC, Michael Saylor stated that Bitcoin is going to $1 million if it isn\u2019t going to \u201czero.\u201d He noted that the \u201cbig question\u201d in relation to BTC’s potential was whether or not the digital asset was legitimate. According to him, if Bitcoin is a \u201clegitimate institutional asset,\u201d then everybody is \u201cunder-allocated\u201d to it.\u00a0 Related Reading: Crypto Founder Predicts XRP Price Will Hit $22, Here\u2019s When His comment about Bitcoin possibly hitting $1 million seems to stem from his belief that Bitcoin as an asset is still untapped, as he expects many institutional players to get in on the crypto token. He noted how 99.9% of the world\u2019s capital is currently tied to other global assets like bonds, real estate, stocks, and precious metals. However, expects that to change soon enough. That change, he believes, will stem from education about digital assets. From that, Saylor says more and more people will realize that they ought to be allocating more and more of their capital to digital assets. Interestingly, he labeled BTC as a \u201cdigital transformation of capital,\u201d alluding to its disruptive nature.\u00a0 These institutional players could well be allocating more of their capital to BTC as early as 2024.
