Saylor Sees Bitcoin as Key to Microsoft’s Future Success
Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, recently proposed that Microsoft could increase its market value by $5 trillion by integrating Bitcoin into its investment strategy. He believes that Bitcoin represents a huge opportunity for the tech giant and should be at the core of its financial strategy.
A Bold Proposal to Microsoft
In a detailed three-minute pitch, Saylor presented 44 slides explaining why Microsoft should allocate its resources—cash flows, dividends, stock buybacks, and debt—toward Bitcoin. He emphasized that Bitcoin is the next major technological breakthrough that Microsoft cannot afford to miss.
Forecasting Future Growth
Saylor estimated that investing in Bitcoin could add $584 per share to Microsoft’s stock price, assuming Bitcoin’s value reaches $1.7 million by 2034. He also predicted that Bitcoin could increase Microsoft’s total enterprise value by $4.9 trillion, marking a significant opportunity for the company.
Microsoft’s Market Standing and Bitcoin’s Potential
Currently valued at $3.18 trillion, Microsoft ranks third globally, following Apple and Nvidia. With Bitcoin’s price surging by 120% in 2024, reaching nearly $100,000, Saylor is confident that Bitcoin can continue to grow, providing a valuable opportunity for Microsoft.
Growing Institutional Support for Bitcoin
Saylor’s MicroStrategy has been a major Bitcoin investor since 2020, acquiring 386,700 BTC. He highlighted the growing institutional support for Bitcoin, including endorsements from top Wall Street firms and political figures like Donald Trump, making it a more attractive investment than traditional assets.
