Michael Saylor, Chairman of Strategy, has once again emphasized Bitcoin’s extraordinary resilience, claiming that even a complete global power outage lasting ten years wouldn’t destroy the network.
In a recent discussion, Saylor described Bitcoin as “one of the most durable systems ever built by humanity.” With tens of thousands of nodes around the world maintaining full copies of its distributed ledger, the Bitcoin blockchain is designed to withstand catastrophic events and deliberate attacks alike.
Saylor suggested a hypothetical scenario in which the planet experiences a decade-long power outage, leaving all computers dormant. In such an event, Bitcoin would simply enter a “sleep mode.” Once any node regains access to electricity and reconnects to the network, the system would fully synchronize and restore itself.
He contrasted Bitcoin’s resilience with the fragility of traditional banking systems, where server failures or targeted cyberattacks could permanently erase financial records. In contrast, Bitcoin’s decentralized structure eliminates single points of failure, ensuring the integrity of data across its global network.
Strategy remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. Between October 27 and November 2, 2025, the company purchased an additional 397 BTC worth approximately $45.6 million at an average price of $114,771 per coin, bringing its total holdings to 641,205 BTC.
Saylor recently predicted that Bitcoin could reach $150,000 by the end of the year, driven by major banks like JPMorgan, Bank of America, and BNY Mellon, which are beginning to offer Bitcoin-backed loans.
