Michael Saylor walked into the White House crypto summit on Friday with a document in hand and a number no one in the room could ignore: $60-100 trillion. That’s how much wealth the U.S. could generate over the next decade if it fully embraces Bitcoin, according to the billionaire chairman of Strategy.
Self-proclaimed “crypto president” Donald Trump, was listening, along with government officials, industry leaders, and financial executives who were all in attendance to talk about the future of Bitcoin in America.
Saylor’s 34-page document, shared directly with Trump and attendees, laid out an entire strategy to restructure the U.S. financial system with crypto at its core.
The main focus here is to make sure Trump’s proposed Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) can erase the national debt, dominate cyberspace, and turn the U.S. into the ultimate financial powerhouse.
Saylor told Trump that if the U.S. started buying Bitcoin right now, it could generate $16-81 trillion in wealth for the Treasury by 2045. Within that same timeframe, the SBR could be bringing in over $10 trillion per year—all without selling a single Bitcoin.
America could control 25% of all Bitcoins, says Saylor
Saylor told Trump that the U.S. must immediately start accumulating Bitcoin through a consistent, programmatic daily purchase strategy.
The goal? Control 5-25% of the total Bitcoin supply before 2035, when 99% of all Bitcoin will have been mined. Once locked in, Bitcoin’s fixed supply and long-term price appreciation would turn the reserve into a perpetual wealth engine.
“The race to dominate cyberspace has already started,” Saylor warned in his report. “If we don’t lead, someone else will.” His argument was clear: If the U.S. wants to remain a global financial superpower, it must own Bitcoin in massive quantities.

China, he noted, has already moved aggressively into digital finance. If the U.S. doesn’t act now, it risks losing its economic edge forever.
Saylor also made it clear that the U.S. government should never sell its Bitcoin holdings. The plan is simple: Buy. Hold. Repeat. As the supply of new Bitcoin dries up over time, demand will skyrocket, prices will climb, and the U.S. Treasury will be sitting on a goldmine.
Saylor suggests a new financial system for an American Bitcoin economy
Saylor’s proposal also laid out an entire framework for rebuilding the U.S. financial system around crypto. His plan breaks the term “digital assets” into four categories, making it easier to integrate crypto with traditional markets:
- Digital Tokens – Corporate-backed assets used for fundraising and innovation. These would allow U.S. companies to raise trillions through tokenized securities, said Saylor.
- Digital Securities – Tokenized stocks, bonds, and ETFs that would trade on 24/7 global markets, eliminating intermediaries and cutting costs.
- Digital Currencies – U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins issued by American companies to maintain global financial control, said Saylor.
- Digital Commodities – Bitcoin, which designed for wealth preservation and long-term value storage. Saylor, who loves Bitcoin more than probably everyone else on the planet, referred to it as “an asset without an issuer, backed by Digital Power, for Capital Preservation & Appreciation.”
If followed through, Saylor believes that his framework will add $60-100 trillion to the U.S. economy by the end of the decade. His breakdown is $10 trillion from tokens, $20 trillion from digital securities, $10 trillion from stablecoins, and $20 trillion from Bitcoin.
“The dominant Digital Commodity, Bitcoin, will serve as a global standard for capital preservation and appreciation, attracting trillions in capital flows, with the U.S. as the primary beneficiary,” said Saylor in his document.
Saylor also called for an immediate and permanent end to hostile policies that are crippling the crypto industry in the U.S. Among his polite demands are:
- Stop unfair taxation on Bitcoin mining and crypto transactions. Saylor argued that the government should encourage, not punish, mining operations.
- Force banks to accept crypto businesses. “Debanking crypto firms is a national security risk,” he stated in the document.
- Give U.S. companies the freedom to issue digital assets without endless regulatory roadblocks.
- Let digital assets move freely over the internet. The government should not interfere with crypto transactions, Saylor argued.
“The government should support, not suppress, Bitcoin and crypto innovation,” Saylor wrote. “If the U.S. takes the lead, capital will flow into the country, jobs will be created, and our economy will thrive.”
Trump, who has now fully embraced Bitcoin, was reportedly receptive to Saylor’s vision. His administration has already moved to deregulate parts of the crypto industry and encourage private sector innovation.
Saylor’s message only reinforced what Trump has been saying for months: The U.S. must become the Bitcoin superpower of the world.
Saylor’s proposal also stressed the geopolitical risks of ignoring Bitcoin. If the U.S. doesn’t take control, China, Russia, and other adversaries will. “This is a matter of national security,” his document warned. “Bitcoin is the most valuable asset in cyberspace. Whoever controls it, controls the future.”
The meeting at the White House made one thing clear: The battle for crypto dominance is already underway. With Trump in office and Bitcoin at the center of U.S. financial strategy, the next decade could see a massive economic transformation. $60-100 trillion is at stake, and the only question now is: Will the U.S. move fast enough?
