Saylor Suggests Bitcoin Could Boost Microsoft’s Value by $5 Trillion
Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, has proposed that Microsoft could see its market value increase by $5 trillion by making Bitcoin a central part of its investment strategy. Saylor believes that embracing Bitcoin is essential for Microsoft to stay ahead in the technological race.
Pitching Bitcoin to Microsoft’s Leadership
In a pitch featuring 44 slides, Saylor urged Microsoft to allocate its resources, including cash flows, dividends, and stock buybacks, into Bitcoin. He emphasized the transformative potential of Bitcoin, claiming that it represents the next wave of technological innovation.
Estimating the Impact on Microsoft’s Stock
Saylor estimated that adopting Bitcoin could add $584 per share to Microsoft’s stock price over the next decade, assuming Bitcoin hits $1.7 million by 2034. He also predicted that a full investment in Bitcoin could increase Microsoft’s enterprise value by $4.9 trillion, a massive boost to the company’s valuation.
Microsoft’s Current Market Position and Bitcoin’s Growth
Microsoft, currently valued at $3.18 trillion, is the third-largest company in the world. With Bitcoin’s value rising by 120% in 2024, Saylor is more confident than ever in Bitcoin’s potential to drive future growth for large companies like Microsoft.
Institutional Support and Political Endorsements for Bitcoin
Saylor’s MicroStrategy has been a major Bitcoin investor since 2020, acquiring 386,700 BTC. He pointed out the increasing institutional and political support for Bitcoin, citing endorsements from top Wall Street firms and figures like Donald Trump as further evidence of Bitcoin’s growing legitimacy.
