📣 Michael Saylor Urges Microsoft to Embrace Bitcoin
posted 2 Dec 2024
Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy and a prominent crypto advocate, addressed Microsoft’s leadership and shareholders, urging them to transform the company’s investment strategy by allocating a significant portion of its assets to Bitcoin.
According to Saylor’s bold estimates, this move could boost Microsoft’s market capitalization by nearly $5 trillion, with the company’s stock price climbing to $584 (up from the current $423). His prediction hinges on the belief that the market is entering a "crypto renaissance" and forecasts that 1 BTC will reach $1.7 million by the end of 2034.
Saylor presented his vision in a dynamic presentation, persuading Microsoft’s board of directors that Bitcoin represents the future of finance and that the company must seize the opportunity to become a part of this new reality. Using compelling data and projections, he painted a vivid picture of Bitcoin’s rapid ascent and the potential for exponential growth in Microsoft’s stock value.

Saylor's statements are likely to face significant skepticism from conservative investors.
This includes doubts about the factors he claims will drive Bitcoin’s price to $1.7 million. The presentation notably omits any discussion of Bitcoin’s high volatility risks. Additionally, there are still no clear regulatory frameworks to protect institutional crypto investors' interests.
While the election of crypto enthusiast Donald Trump as president offers a more optimistic outlook than a year ago, it doesn’t guarantee that Saylor’s vision will materialize as planned.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and his leadership team face a pivotal decision. On one hand, investing in Bitcoin would represent a bold and significant move for a tech giant like Microsoft. On the other hand, opting out of a Bitcoin strategy could be equally risky if their peers in the S&P 500 decide to embrace cryptocurrency.
It’s also possible that Saylor’s presentation may have appeared too radical for representatives of the traditional financial system. It will be interesting to see the first public responses from those who attended the presentation.
