Michael Saylor, the Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, has proposed a strategy that could potentially increase Microsoft's market value by $4.9 trillion by 2034 by adopting Bitcoin.
Saylor's Proposal
Saylor aired the proposal during a presentation on December 1, emphasizing that Bitcoin represents a transformative wave in technology and urged Microsoft to seize the opportunity.
Saylor's Vision: Converting Cash Flows to Bitcoin
Saylor’s main suggestion is for Microsoft to convert its cash flows, dividends, stock buybacks, and even its debt into Bitcoin, arguing that this could significantly boost Microsoft's stock price while reducing risks for shareholders. By following this approach, Saylor claims Microsoft could potentially add up to $584 per share within the next decade.
MicroStrategy’s Experience with Bitcoin
Since 2020, MicroStrategy has amassed 386,700 BTC, currently valued at over $37.7 billion. The company's decision to hold Bitcoin has resulted in its stock price skyrocketing by over 465% in 2024.
Saylor views Bitcoin as a key to future growth and security for large-scale companies like Microsoft, particularly with the increasing public and political support for cryptocurrencies.
