Michael Saylor, the CEO of MicroStrategy, made a bold prediction about the future of Bitcoin mining.
He forecasts that 99% of all Bitcoin (BTC) will be mined by January 2, 2035. With 19.76 million BTC already in circulation (94.1% of the total 21 million supply), there are only 1.24 million left to be mined.
Saylor's prediction accelerates the expected timeline compared to the general belief that Bitcoin mining will continue until around 2140. If Saylor's forecast holds, this rapid supply exhaustion could have major implications for Bitcoin's price, as scarcity would drive demand higher.
Saylor is no stranger to bold predictions; previously, he claimed that Bitcoin could reach $13 million per coin by 2045.
