Michael Saylor assured Microsoft’s executive board that he would present the advantages of Bitcoin for the company in just three minutes—and he delivered.
The Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, Michael Saylor, outlined a strategic reserve of Bitcoin to the Microsoft (MSFT) board on December 1, as he committed to doing. He emphasized that Bitcoin represents a transformation in digital capital, advocating for its integration into their balance sheet in the coming years.
Bitcoin is expected to emerge as one of the most significant assets globally, projected to represent $280 trillion of global wealth, surpassing gold and art, which are forecasted to stand at $45 trillion and $110 trillion, respectively, over the next 20 years.
Saylor also pointed out that Microsoft must harness digital capital, noting that Bitcoin’s price movements have outpaced Microsoft shares by a factor of 12 times annually. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy (MSTR) shares have soared by 3,045% following their Bitcoin acquisitions in recent years, compared to MSFT’s 103% performance.
“Bitcoin is the best asset you can own. The numbers speak for themselves. It makes much more sense to buy Bitcoin than to repurchase your own stock or to hold Bitcoin instead of bonds. If you want to outperform, you need Bitcoin,” Saylor stated during his presentation, which was posted on YouTube.
Political and market backing, represented by the Trump administration and Bitcoin ETF products in the stock market, are also expected to facilitate widespread Bitcoin adoption in the coming years, and Microsoft should be part of that trend.
Michael Saylor Presents Options
Saylor offered the Microsoft board a choice: stick to outdated financial strategies that hinder growth and elevate investor risk, or innovate by embracing the future of Bitcoin with increased growth potential.
He also introduced Bitcoin24 to the board, a service that customizes Bitcoin products for corporations, and projected that Microsoft shares could potentially rise to $584 from their current price.
The company’s market capitalization is anticipated to surge between $1 trillion and $4.9 trillion if it implements Bitcoin as a strategic reserve.
With Bitcoin adoption, the risk associated with Microsoft shares is estimated to decrease from 95% to 59%, while annual recurring revenue is projected to grow from 10.4% to 15.8%.
