Michael Saylor, the Chairman of MicroStrategy, has recently sparked a significant discussion in the cryptocurrency community with his assertion that the window for Bitcoin accumulation will close by 2035. Saylor's statement, made via a social media post, emphasized the urgency for investors to acquire Bitcoin before its supply becomes critically scarce. He stated, “The digital gold rush ends ~January 7, 2035. Get your Bitcoin before there is no Bitcoin left for you.”

Saylor's claim has gained traction, particularly with the support of data from Grok AI, which confirmed that by January 2035, approximately 1,026,900 more Bitcoins will be mined. Given that around 19.7 million Bitcoins are already in circulation as of mid-2025, this means the total supply by 2035 would reach approximately 20.73 million, crossing the 98% mark of Bitcoin’s total capped supply of 21 million. This data lends credibility to Saylor’s prediction that the current decade is a pivotal phase for Bitcoin.

Saylor has previously described the period from January 2024 to November 2034 as a historic era for Bitcoin. He believes that while Bitcoin mining will technically continue until 2140, about 99% of the total supply will have been mined by late 2034. According to Saylor, the remaining Bitcoin to be mined over the next century would be so minimal that it would hardly impact the market. He views the coming 10 years as the best window of opportunity for investors to accumulate Bitcoin before it becomes increasingly scarce and fully integrated into the global financial system. MicroStrategy, under Saylor's leadership, has been aggressively buying Bitcoin and currently holds nearly 569,000 Bitcoins.

Saylor's emphasis on the critical accumulation window for Bitcoin underscores the importance of the current decade. He urges investors to act swiftly, as the scarcity of Bitcoin will make it increasingly difficult to acquire in the future. This perspective aligns with the broader narrative of Bitcoin as a finite resource, similar to gold, which adds to its value as a store of wealth. Saylor's statements reflect a strategic approach to investing in Bitcoin, highlighting the need for proactive accumulation to capitalize on its potential future value.
