Michael Saylor suggests Microsoft adopt Bitcoin as a core business strategy

Michael Saylor gave a 3-minute speech at the Microsoft board meeting. According to his Bitcoin strategy slides, he proposed that Bitcoin is the core opportunity of the next wave of technological innovation and suggested that Microsoft adopt Bitcoin as its core corporate strategy. He believes that Bitcoin is "digital capital". In the current global asset market of approximately $900 trillion, the market value of Bitcoin is expected to grow from its current $2 trillion to $280 trillion by 2045, surpassing traditional assets such as bonds and gold.

The report emphasizes that Bitcoin's performance far exceeds traditional financial instruments, with an annualized return significantly higher than bonds and stocks, and almost no counterpart risk. Saylor also suggested that Microsoft allocate some funds for investment in bitcoin to replace traditional dividend distribution and stock repurchase strategies, predicting this move will add up to $4.9 trillion in market value for Microsoft by 2034.

In addition, he pointed out that global institutional support for bitcoin is steadily increasing, including endorsements from governments, Wall Street and several well-known political figures showing its potential to become an important part of global corporate financial strategies. Saylor urged Microsoft to seize this opportunity and take a leading position in global digital financial innovation.
