Saylor Suggests Bitcoin Could Boost Microsoft’s Market Value by $5 Trillion
Michael Saylor, the head of MicroStrategy, recently pitched Microsoft on an ambitious plan to integrate Bitcoin into its investment strategy, suggesting that embracing the cryptocurrency could increase the tech giant’s market value by up to $5 trillion. Saylor believes Bitcoin holds significant potential for Microsoft’s future growth.
A Powerful Pitch to Microsoft
In a compelling three-minute pitch, Saylor presented 44 slides outlining how Microsoft could benefit from an aggressive Bitcoin strategy. He urged the company to direct its resources, including cash flows, stock buybacks, and dividends, toward Bitcoin. Saylor emphasized that failing to adopt Bitcoin would mean missing out on the next big technological wave.
Bitcoin as a Central Asset
Saylor forecasted that incorporating Bitcoin into Microsoft’s portfolio could add $584 per share to its stock price over the next decade, assuming Bitcoin reaches $1.7 million by 2034. He also predicted a $4.9 trillion boost to the company’s total enterprise value if it fully embraces Bitcoin.
Microsoft’s Current Standing and Bitcoin’s Growth
Microsoft, valued at $3.18 trillion, is currently the third-largest company globally, just behind Apple and Nvidia. With Bitcoin’s value surging by 120% in 2024, nearing the $100,000 mark, Saylor sees this as an opportunity for Microsoft to capitalize on Bitcoin’s growth.
The Growing Institutional Support for Bitcoin
Saylor, who has guided MicroStrategy in acquiring 386,700 BTC since 2020, highlighted the increasing institutional support for Bitcoin, including endorsements from Wall Street firms and political figures like Donald Trump. He believes Bitcoin is a superior investment compared to traditional assets like stocks or bonds.
