Michael Saylor presented the Bitcoin strategy to Microsoft

Microstrategy's Michael Saylor has suggested to Microsoft's board of directors that the tech giant should fully embrace Bitcoin.

In a three-minute presentation, Saylor explained how bitcoin could change Microsoft's financial strategy, potentially increasing its market capitalization to nearly $5 trillion.

Financial growth and improved shareholder returns

“Microsoft cannot afford to miss the next wave of technology, and Bitcoin is that wave,” Salor said. He described Bitcoin as the biggest digital revolution of the 21st century, calling it “digital capital” economically and technically superior to physical money.

Sayler emphasized the need for the Redmond-based software maker to embrace digital capital, arguing that investing in bitcoin is more profitable than buying stocks or bonds.

Highlighting Bitcoin's potential, MicroStrategy's CEO predicted it would represent $280 trillion in global wealth within 20 years, surpassing gold and art. He pointed out that Microsoft's acquisition of the cryptocurrency would bring significant benefits.

Sayler urged the company to convert its cash flow, dividends, share buybacks and debt into BTC, a move he says could add hundreds of dollars to the stock price and create trillions in enterprise value. In particular, he predicted that Bitcoin would reach $1.7 million in value by 2034, which could increase Microsoft's stock price to $584 over the next decade.

Currently valued at $3.18 trillion, Microsoft is the third most valuable company globally. Saylor predicted that Bitcoin adoption could increase its market cap by $4.9 trillion.

He framed the decision as a choice between sticking to outdated financial strategies or using bitcoin to drive accelerated growth. “It's time for Microsoft to reassess its BTC strategic options,” he said in closing. “Do the right thing for the world and accept Bitcoin.”

Sayler said he could convince Buffett to buy bitcoin.

Saylor isn't the only person Microsoft's board of directors has targeted as he continues his Bitcoin evangelism. In a recent appearance on the PBD podcast, BTC Bull expressed his confidence in convincing Berkshire Hathaway to accept Warren Buffett's secret status.

“If I had an hour alone with Buffett in a calm environment, I could walk out and this bitcoin thing is a great idea,” he said.

Saylor, who pointed to inefficiencies in Berkshire's $325 billion fund, argued that the fund faces a 15 percent cost of capital and earns a 3 percent after-tax yield. He attributed this to a 12% negative yield and a $32 billion annual stock price erosion.

The 59-year-old has consistently promoted bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations, urging companies with high cash reserves to integrate it into their financial strategies.

This approach has gained popularity among many organizations, including Metaplanet with 1,142 BTC and Semler Scientific recently investing $29 million in BTC. Online video platform Rumble recently announced a $20 million investment in the coin. However, MicroStrategy is the largest publicly traded bitcoin holder with approximately 387,000 BTC in reserves.
