Saylor Proposes Bitcoin Strategy to Microsoft
Michael Saylor, head of MicroStrategy, recently suggested that Bitcoin could increase Microsoft’s market value by $5 trillion. He believes that embracing Bitcoin as an integral part of Microsoft’s investment strategy would unlock incredible growth potential.
The Pitch to Microsoft
Saylor presented a three-minute pitch with 44 slides, urging Microsoft to invest its cash flows, stock buybacks, and dividends into Bitcoin. He emphasized that Bitcoin represents the next technological wave that Microsoft must adopt to remain competitive.
Forecasted Impact on Stock Price
Saylor predicted that investing in Bitcoin could add $584 per share to Microsoft’s stock price by 2034, assuming Bitcoin reaches $1.7 million. He also estimated that a full Bitcoin investment could increase Microsoft’s enterprise value by $4.9 trillion.
Microsoft’s Market Position and Bitcoin’s Surge
With a current valuation of $3.18 trillion, Microsoft is the third-largest company in the world. Bitcoin’s impressive growth in 2024, nearing $100,000 per coin, strengthens Saylor’s belief in the cryptocurrency’s potential to drive future growth for Microsoft.
Rising Institutional and Political Support for Bitcoin
Saylor’s MicroStrategy has been a major Bitcoin investor since 2020. He pointed to growing institutional support for Bitcoin, including endorsements from top Wall Street firms and figures like Donald Trump, as evidence of its legitimacy and potential.
