Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy, recently delivered a much-anticipated presentation to Microsoft’s board of directors and CEO Satya Nadella. The three-minute presentation, consisting of 44 slides, laid out a compelling case for Microsoft to fully embrace a Bitcoin strategy, arguing it could bring trillions of dollars in value to the company.
During his presentation, Saylor stressed that Bitcoin represents a once-in-a-century opportunity for Microsoft, branding it as the digital capital of the 21st century. He stated:
“Microsoft cannot afford to miss this technological wave. This wave is Bitcoin. It represents the greatest digital transformation of our time. Acquiring Bitcoin is far more strategic than buying back shares or investing in bonds.”
Saylor projected that by fully adopting a Bitcoin strategy, Microsoft could see a $584 per share increase by 2034, resulting in an astounding $4.9 trillion market cap addition. He also criticized Microsoft’s financial strategy in recent years:
“Over the last five years, you’ve lost hundreds of billions of dollars and exposed shareholders to significant risks. To break free from this destructive cycle, you need an asset with no counterparty risk. By embracing a full Bitcoin strategy, you could achieve a $584 per share gain by 2034, raising your market cap by $4.9 trillion. This requires converting cash flow, share buybacks, and even debt into Bitcoin.”
A Transformative Opportunity
Microsoft, currently the third most valuable company globally with a market cap exceeding $3 trillion, stands behind only Apple and Nvidia. Saylor’s bold proposal comes at a time when tech giants are seeking innovative ways to grow and maintain their market dominance.
This presentation highlights a growing trend among corporations exploring Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and a transformative tool for financial growth. With MicroStrategy’s own success in Bitcoin investments serving as an example, will Microsoft take the leap?
