Michael Saylor Advocates for Nations to Print Currency for Bitcoin
- Saylor advises on the strategic use of fiat for Bitcoin.
- Increased institutional Bitcoin adoption is emphasized.
- No sovereign has announced such currency strategies.
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, posits that the nation printing its currency to buy Bitcoin will gain a global advantage, a notion reiterated during his BTC Prague 2025 keynote.
Saylor’s scenario underscores Bitcoin’s potential impact on monetary systems, yet no nation currently pursues this strategy, highlighting ongoing global interest in Bitcoin’s scarcity amid rising institutional adoption.
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, has suggested that a nation printing its own currency to buy Bitcoin could gain a strategic advantage. He shared this concept during his BTC Prague keynote in 2025.
Saylor has often commented on the macroeconomic impact of Bitcoin adoption. He predicts that if a nation pursued such a monetary policy, it would reshape global finance by exerting upward pressure on Bitcoin.
Currently, no nation has publicly stated intentions to use fiat currency this way. However, institutional adoption of Bitcoin is on the rise, with major banks offering Bitcoin-backed loans.
“If a nation were to print its own currency to buy Bitcoin, it would put extraordinary upward pressure on the asset and prompt a global monetary restructuring.” – Michael Saylor
Saylor emphasizes the implications on global monetary systems. Key industry players, including central banks, are yet to demonstrate any significant move towards the strategy of printing fiat for Bitcoin.
No direct evidence of nation-states purchasing Bitcoin with newly printed fiat exists. The impact on the market remains speculative but could cause an unprecedented liquidity shock.
Looking at historical trends, Saylor’s hypothesis remains theoretical. However, his assertions underscore the growing institutional demand for Bitcoin, combined with concerns over Bitcoin’s limited supply.
