In a three-minute presentation to Microsoft board of directors and CEO Satya Nadella, Saylor argued Microsoft should convert cash flows, dividend payouts, stock buybacks, and debt into Bitcoin.
He predicted the move could add US$584 per share to Microsoft’s stock price, assuming Bitcoin reaches US$1.7 million by 2034.
“Microsoft can’t afford to miss the next technology wave, and Bitcoin is that wave,” Saylor declared.

Saylor recommended Microsoft allocate US$100 billion annually to Bitcoin investments, arguing that it’s more advantageous than stock buybacks or bond holdings.
“Do the right thing for the world and adopt Bitcoin,” Saylor urged at the end of his presentation.
Bitcoin’s recent performance supports Saylor’s pitch. The cryptocurrency has surged 120% this year, approaching the US$100,000 mark. MicroStrategy’s own Bitcoin strategy has driven its stock up 465.5% in 2024, with shares hitting a record US$421.88 in November.
Saylor highlighted growing institutional and political support for Bitcoin, including pro-crypto statements from potential future political leaders and new investment products from major financial firms.
The proposal challenges Microsoft to reimagine its financial strategy, with Bitcoin being increasingly viewed as a transformative technological opportunity rather than a traditional investment.
