币界网报道：MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor predicts Bitcoin will reach its maximum supply cap of 21 million coins in approximately 21 years, based on current mining rates. Speaking at the MicroStrategy World 2024 conference, Saylor noted that Bitcoin's issuance rate halves every four years, with the next halving expected in April 2024. He emphasized Bitcoin's deflationary nature, contrasting it with fiat currencies that can be printed indefinitely. Saylor also highlighted Bitcoin's growing institutional adoption, citing MicroStrategy's own holdings of 190,000 BTC worth over $8 billion. The executive dismissed concerns about Bitcoin's volatility, stating its long-term appreciation trend remains intact. MicroStrategy continues its Bitcoin acquisition strategy, recently purchasing an additional 12,000 BTC for $821.7 million in February 2024. Saylor's comments come as Bitcoin trades near all-time highs above $70,000, with growing mainstream financial acceptance including spot Bitcoin ETF approvals in the U.S.
