Saylor Proposes Bitcoin Investment Strategy to Microsoft
Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, recently proposed an ambitious plan to Microsoft, suggesting that the company could boost its market value by $5 trillion by adopting Bitcoin as a central asset in its investment strategy. He believes Bitcoin represents the next technological breakthrough that Microsoft cannot afford to ignore.
A Game-Changing Proposal
In his pitch, Saylor recommended that Microsoft direct its resources—cash flows, dividends, stock buybacks, and debt—toward Bitcoin. He stressed that Bitcoin is the next big wave in technology and that Microsoft must embrace it to remain at the forefront of innovation.
Potential Financial Impact
Saylor estimated that such a strategy could add $584 per share to Microsoft’s stock price by 2034, assuming Bitcoin’s value reaches $1.7 million. He also predicted a $4.9 trillion boost to Microsoft’s enterprise value if the company fully invests in Bitcoin.
Microsoft’s Current Valuation and Bitcoin’s Surge
Microsoft, currently valued at $3.18 trillion, is the third-largest company in the world. With Bitcoin’s value surging by 120% in 2024, reaching close to $100,000, Saylor’s confidence in Bitcoin’s future growth is growing stronger.
Bitcoin’s Growing Institutional Support
Since 2020, Saylor’s MicroStrategy has acquired 386,700 BTC. He highlighted the increasing support for Bitcoin from institutional investors and political figures such as Donald Trump. Saylor believes that Bitcoin offers a more promising investment than traditional assets like stocks and bonds.
