The company Strategy of Michael Saylor is "synthetically halving Bitcoin"

by buying half or more of the newly minted supply from miners each month, according to Adam Livingston, BTC analyst and author of "The Bitcoin Age and The Great Harvest".

Livingston stated that miners currently produce about 450 BTC per day or approximately 13,500 BTC per month, but Strategy acquired 379,800 BTC in the last six months. This translates to the firm buying approximately 2,087 BTC per day, far above the daily production of miners. The author added:

"When Bitcoin becomes so scarce, access to Bitcoin will require paying a premium. Borrowing against Bitcoin will cost more. Borrowing Bitcoin will become a luxury business reserved for nation-states and corporate whales, and Strategy will control the bottleneck".

"The global cost of BTC capital will no longer be set by 'the market'. It will be determined by the gravitational policies of the first Bitcoin superpower: Strategy," Livingston continued.

The author's prediction of a Bitcoin supply shortage translates into much higher BTC prices if Strategy can maintain its pace of BTC acquisitions while market demand for the limited supply digital asset grows among institutional and retail investors.
