CEO of Strategy: Bitcoin will increase by an average of 21% per year over the next 21 years.
In an interview with What Bitcoin Did on November 28, 2025, CEO Phong Le of Strategy discussed the growth potential of Bitcoin in the coming years, referencing Michael Saylor's model of "an annual growth rate of 21% over the next 21 years," which he believes is a reasonable long-term expectation. He noted that as long as Bitcoin's long-term returns exceed the annual performance of 14-15% of the S&P 500 - whether it's 30%, 20% or even 18% - investors will still benefit.
Looking forward to the next four to five years, he continues to predict that Bitcoin will yield annual returns of 40% to 50%, emphasizing that this growth trajectory stems from Bitcoin's fundamental factors: its non-sovereign nature, technological strength, limited supply, and globally recognized store of value characteristics.
