Saylor’s Bold Proposal for Microsoft
Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, recently proposed that Microsoft could see its market value soar by $5 trillion by making Bitcoin a central part of its investment strategy. He views Bitcoin as a transformative asset that could redefine the company’s future.
Saylor’s Pitch to Microsoft Leadership
In a concise three-minute presentation, Saylor urged Microsoft’s leadership to allocate its resources, including dividends, cash flows, and stock buybacks, to Bitcoin. He stressed that Bitcoin is the next breakthrough technology and that Microsoft must act now to capitalize on it.
Potential Impact on Stock and Enterprise Value
Saylor estimated that embracing Bitcoin could add $584 per share to Microsoft’s stock price by 2034, assuming Bitcoin reaches $1.7 million. He also forecast that such an investment could increase Microsoft’s total enterprise value by $4.9 trillion.
Microsoft’s Current Valuation and Bitcoin’s Growth
Microsoft, currently valued at $3.18 trillion, is the third-largest company in the world. With Bitcoin surging by 120% in 2024, nearing $100,000 per coin, Saylor is confident in its potential as an investment for tech giants like Microsoft.
Growing Institutional Support for Bitcoin
Saylor pointed out that MicroStrategy has been a significant Bitcoin investor since 2020, acquiring 386,700 BTC. He also noted that Bitcoin has been gaining institutional and political support, including endorsements from top Wall Street firms and figures like Donald Trump.
