During the meeting, the delegation outlined how Bitcoin mining could serve as a sovereign reserve strategy and shared insights on how national-level Bitcoin education could play a key role in building financial resilience.

The group also presented Michael Saylor’s long-term Bitcoin price projections. The Executive Chairman of Strategy previously forecast that Bitcoin could reach $13 million per coin by 2045, based on an average annual growth rate of 29% to 40%, fueled by institutional adoption, regulatory clarity, and Bitcoin’s fixed supply.

At the BTC Prague 2025 conference, Saylor raised his estimate even further, projecting a potential price of $21 million per coin by 2046.

We presented @saylor’s 2045 price prediction which happens to align with 100 years of Indonesian independence.

They were bullish. So were we.
