Michael Saylor, the CEO of MicroStrategy and a staunch Bitcoin supporter, has proposed to Microsoft’s board of directors a strategy that could potentially add $5 trillion to the company’s value by converting all their assets into Bitcoin.
Saylor provided a comprehensive 44-page document to Microsoft, recommending an annual investment of $100 billion into Bitcoin.
During his presentation to the Microsoft board, Saylor emphasized the importance of major tech companies embracing Bitcoin as part of their growth strategy.
“Microsoft cannot afford to miss out on this transformative technological wave, and Bitcoin is at the forefront of it,” he stated in a video released on December 1. In this presentation, he urged Microsoft to channel all its financial resources—including dividends, share buybacks, and bonds—into Bitcoin investments.
“If you adopt this approach, you could significantly increase your stock value by hundreds of dollars, transform your financial assets into trillions, and provide greater security for your shareholders,” he explained.
Saylor projected that over the next decade, Bitcoin could contribute $584 to Microsoft’s stock price if they allocate all cash flow to the cryptocurrency. He also estimated that Bitcoin could reach a value of $1.7 million by the end of 2034.
According to Saylor, this strategy could boost Microsoft’s total assets by $4.9 trillion. Currently, Microsoft is the third most valuable company globally, with a market capitalization of $3.18 trillion, trailing only Apple Inc. and Nvidia Corp.
Bitcoin has surged nearly 120% this year, with 40% of that growth occurring in the last month alone, approaching a value of $100,000.
MicroStrategy itself has invested heavily in Bitcoin, acquiring 402,100 BTC at a total value of $38.6 billion, with Bitcoin priced at $96,100.
The company’s stock (MSTR) has risen by 465.5% this year, reflecting the value of its Bitcoin holdings. It reached a record high of $421.88 on November 22.
Saylor noted that Bitcoin’s popularity is growing among both political leaders and the general public, describing this trend as a “crypto revolution.” He also predicted that the next U.S. administration would adopt policies favorable to cryptocurrencies.
He strongly urged Microsoft to commit $100 billion annually to Bitcoin, arguing that this move would generate significant long-term value. Instead of repurchasing shares or holding traditional bonds, he suggested Bitcoin as a superior alternative.
“This is the perfect moment for Microsoft to evaluate its stance on Bitcoin,” Saylor concluded, adding, “Take the bold step, and invest in Bitcoin for a better future.”
