MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor urges Microsoft to implement BTC reserve strategy, Market Cap expected to increase by $5 trillion
MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor prepared a three-minute speech for Microsoft's board and CEO Satya Nadella, advocating for the company to consider investing in BTC. And according to his calculations, if Microsoft fully invests in BTC, its market capitalization could increase by nearly 5 trillion US dollars, and the stock could rise to $584.
BTC is the next wave of technological revolution
Saylor mentioned in the opening that 'Microsoft cannot miss the next wave of technological revolution, and BTC is that wave.' The video urges Microsoft to use its cash flow, dividend payments, stock buybacks, and debt to buy BTC.
If you do this, your stock price will increase by hundreds of dollars, create trillions of dollars in enterprise value, and eliminate shareholder risk.
If Microsoft actively buys BTC, the Market Cap will increase by nearly 5 trillion dollars
Microsoft currently has a market capitalization of about 3.1 trillion US dollars, second only to Nvidia and Apple, making it the third largest publicly traded company in the world (although it briefly surpassed Apple in January, reclaiming the top spot). Over the past five years, it has spent $200 billion on dividends and buybacks of its own stock.
Saylor claimed in his speech that if Microsoft were to use all financial methods, including existing cash, dividends, stock buybacks, and debt, to purchase BTC, then Microsoft's stock price could rise to $584 in the next 10 years, increasing its Market Cap by nearly $5 trillion.
This assumption is based on:
Microsoft has cash: 270 billion dollars
Currently, there is a cash flow of 700 billion, which is increasing at a rate of 10% per year.
Microsoft's stock price in 2024 is $420
BTC price grows by 30% annually
Saylor hopes MicroStrategy can "Do the right thing"
Saylor said that public and political figures' support for BTC is increasing, and there is a 'Cryptocurrency Renaissance' happening. He pointed out that incoming President Trump, new Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, DOGE CEO Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy are all supporters of BTC.
MicroStrategy, which claims to be a BTC development company, has recently seen a significant rise in its net worth. Since announcing its policy of using BTC as the company's primary reserve asset in 2020, its stock price has risen by 3045%, compared to Nvidia's 1112% and Microsoft's 103%. The rise is astonishing, and Saylor proudly showcased the performance of his company's stock in the presentation.
Hope that Weibo can "Do the right thing" for its customers, employees, shareholders, and even the country and the world!
