Michael Saylor Recommends Buying Bitcoin Over MSFT Amid Microsoft’s Crypto Consideration

Michael Saylor, a Bitcoin enthusiast and CEO of MicroStrategy, recently advised Microsoft to consider investing in Bitcoin rather than its own stock. During a presentation at Microsoft’s shareholder meeting in December 2024, Saylor emphasized the potential benefits of allocating a significant portion of Microsoft’s treasury to Bitcoin.

In his three-minute presentation, Saylor highlighted how Bitcoin has consistently outperformed Microsoft’s stock, making a compelling case for why it would be more advantageous for Microsoft to invest in Bitcoin instead of buying back its own stock. He pointed out that Bitcoin is now the seventh largest asset by market cap, positioning it as the next economic wave that companies should not miss out on.

Saylor suggested that with a new pro-crypto U.S. President and supportive figures in Congress, along with the success of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the path ahead for Bitcoin adoption is clear. He described this as the beginning of a “crypto renaissance” and urged Microsoft to consider embracing this future by investing in Bitcoin.

Drawing on the success of MicroStrategy stock (MSTR) due to Bitcoin investments, Saylor highlighted how BTC had driven exceptional growth for his company’s stock, surpassing even well-known tech giants like Apple and Amazon. By proposing that Microsoft allocate billions of dollars annually to Bitcoin, Saylor estimated that Microsoft’s stock could rise significantly, generating substantial value for its shareholders.

As Microsoft shareholders prepare to vote on the proposal to diversify the balance sheet with Bitcoin on December 10, 2024, Saylor’s message to Microsoft is clear: “Do the right thing for your customers, employees, shareholders, the country, the world, and your legacy. Adopt Bitcoin.”
