    1. MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Strategy Pays Off
MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor recently urged Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and the board to fully embrace Bitcoin. In a presentation shared via a three-minute clip, Saylor highlighted Bitcoin as the "greatest digital transformation of the 21st century," calling it the best asset Microsoft could hold.

“Microsoft can't afford to miss the next technology wave, and Bitcoin is that wave,” Saylor said, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize digital capital.

Massive Gains Projected with Bitcoin Adoption

Saylor suggested that Microsoft could significantly boost its financial standing by adopting Bitcoin. He projected that Microsoft’s stock price could rise by $584 per share and its enterprise value could grow by $4.9 trillion by 2034 if the company converted its cash flows, dividends, buybacks, and debt into Bitcoin.

He criticized Microsoft’s current capital strategy, suggesting that holding Bitcoin instead of bonds or conducting stock buybacks could reduce shareholder risks and create lasting value.

MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Strategy Pays Off

Saylor's enthusiasm for Bitcoin aligns with MicroStrategy’s aggressive acquisition strategy. The company started building its Bitcoin reserve in 2020 and now holds 386,700 BTC, valued at over $37.7 billion. Its most recent purchase of 55,500 BTC has contributed to a staggering 465% year-to-date increase in MicroStrategy’s stock price.

While Microsoft’s stock rose 3.67% over the past month, Saylor’s advocacy introduces a provocative vision for integrating Bitcoin into corporate strategy, hinting at a transformative shift in enterprise finance.
