Bitcoin as a $5 Trillion Opportunity for Microsoft
Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, has proposed that Microsoft could increase its market value by as much as $5 trillion by making Bitcoin a central part of its strategy. Saylor believes Bitcoin’s potential could redefine the tech giant’s future.
The Case for Bitcoin at Microsoft
In a compelling three-minute presentation, Saylor urged Microsoft’s leadership to allocate resources like cash flows, stock buybacks, and dividends to Bitcoin. He stressed that Bitcoin represents the next major technological wave, and Microsoft cannot afford to overlook it.
Impact on Microsoft’s Stock Value
Saylor forecasts that adopting Bitcoin could add $584 per share to Microsoft’s stock price by 2034, assuming Bitcoin reaches $1.7 million. He also predicts that a full-scale Bitcoin investment could increase Microsoft’s total enterprise value by $4.9 trillion.
Microsoft’s Position and Bitcoin’s Growth
Currently valued at $3.18 trillion, Microsoft is the third-largest company globally, trailing only Apple and Nvidia. With Bitcoin nearing $100,000 per coin after a 120% rise in 2024, Saylor is confident Bitcoin will continue to rise and benefit major companies like Microsoft.
Institutional Support for Bitcoin
Since 2020, MicroStrategy has acquired 386,700 BTC, and Saylor pointed out the increasing institutional support for Bitcoin, including endorsements from Wall Street firms and political figures like Donald Trump. He sees Bitcoin as a more lucrative investment compared to traditional assets.
