Saylor Offers Bitcoin Strategy to Boost Microsoft

Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor has offered his treasury reserve investment strategy to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in hopes of helping the tech giant achieve a trillion-dollar valuation. Following news that Microsoft shareholders are set to vote on a Bitcoin proposal, Saylor reached out with a suggestion on Twitter (X) on Friday.

Microsoft’s Bitcoin Proposal and Saylor’s Offer

Saylor’s tweet came after an SEC filing on Thursday revealed that Microsoft’s shareholders will vote in December on a proposal recommending the company consider Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. The Microsoft board, however, has urged shareholders to vote against the idea.

“If you want to make the next trillion dollars for $MSFT shareholders, call me,” wrote Saylor, sharing a screenshot from the shareholder letter that mentions MicroStrategy’s stock outperforming Microsoft’s since adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Success

Saylor’s company, MicroStrategy, started investing in Bitcoin in 2020, amassing 252,220 BTC now valued at $16.8 billion. This aggressive Bitcoin strategy helped MicroStrategy’s Nasdaq-listed stock skyrocket, yielding significant returns for shareholders.

Since becoming the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, Saylor has become one of Bitcoin’s most vocal advocates, calling it “digital gold” and positioning it as the ultimate long-term store of value.

Saylor’s Vision for MicroStrategy as a “Bitcoin Bank”

Saylor envisions MicroStrategy eventually transforming into a “Bitcoin bank” with a trillion-dollar valuation. Currently valued at around $47 billion, he sees Bitcoin as the path for massive growth both for his company and potentially for Microsoft. If Microsoft shareholders vote in favor of Bitcoin, it could mark a pivotal move in corporate adoption of digital assets.
