Saylor Proposes a $5 Trillion Market Value Boost for Microsoft
Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, recently suggested that Microsoft could increase its market value by $5 trillion by incorporating Bitcoin into its investment strategy. Saylor sees Bitcoin as the key to future technological breakthroughs and an essential move for Microsoft.
A Vision for Microsoft’s Future
During a concise three-minute presentation, Saylor outlined how Microsoft could allocate its cash flows, stock buybacks, dividends, and debt to Bitcoin. He emphasized that Bitcoin represents the next major wave in technology, one Microsoft cannot afford to miss.
Potential Impact on Microsoft’s Stock
Saylor predicted that adopting Bitcoin could add $584 per share to Microsoft’s stock price by 2034, assuming Bitcoin’s value rises to $1.7 million. He also projected that such an investment could increase Microsoft’s enterprise value by nearly $5 trillion.
Microsoft’s Current Market Position and Bitcoin’s Surge
Currently valued at $3.18 trillion, Microsoft ranks third in market capitalization, behind Apple and Nvidia. Bitcoin’s impressive 120% increase in 2024, nearing $100,000 per coin, has only further convinced Saylor of the cryptocurrency’s potential.
Bitcoin’s Institutional Support Grows
Saylor’s MicroStrategy has been a major Bitcoin investor since 2020, acquiring 386,700 BTC. He pointed to increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin, including support from prominent Wall Street firms and political leaders like Donald Trump, as evidence of its growing legitimacy.
