Why Michael Saylor Is Urging Microsoft To Invest 100 Billion In Bitcoin
The founder of MicroStrategy presented a bold argument to the Microsoft board, suggesting that the company could nearly triple its value by converting its cash and financial flows into bitcoin. This ambitious proposal, detailed in a 44-slide presentation, represents one of the most significant institutional adoption strategies for Bitcoin ever proposed.
Saylor urges Microsoft to invest heavily in Bitcoin
It was during a three-minute presentation before the Microsoft board that Michael Saylor unveiled his vision on December 1.
The president of MicroStrategy, known for his pro-Bitcoin stance, developed a detailed investment strategy aimed at converting Microsoft’s cash flows, dividend payments, stock buybacks, and even its debt into Bitcoin.
According to his calculations, this transformation could add up to $584 to the Microsoft stock price by 2034, assuming BTC reaches $1.7 million.
Saylor’s arguments rest on a deep conviction: “Microsoft cannot afford to miss the next technological wave, and Bitcoin is that wave“. To support his thesis, he suggests an annual investment of $100 billion in BTC, asserting that this strategy would be more relevant than current stock buybacks or holding bonds.
A favorable context that strengthens the proposal
Saylor’s proposal comes at a particularly dynamic moment for the crypto market. Bitcoin has seen a spectacular increase of 120% since the beginning of the year, now nearing $100,000.
MicroStrategy, which holds 386,700 BTC acquired for $21.9 billion, has seen its investment rise to $37.6 billion, validating its accumulation strategy.
This timing is not insignificant: political support for Bitcoin is intensifying, notably with favorable statements from President Donald Trump, while Wall Street is launching more bitcoin-related investment products.
Microsoft’s valuation, currently the third largest in the world at $3.18 trillion, could, according to Saylor, reach unprecedented heights by following this strategy.
Saylor’s passionate commitment concludes with a call to action:
It is time for Microsoft to assess its strategic options regarding Bitcoin. Do what is right for the world and adopt Bitcoin.
This bold proposal could mark a turning point in the history of institutional adoption of cryptos.
