Bitcoin

Michael Saylor, <a href="https://optimisus.com/news/crypto-news/key-details-from-microstrategys-recent-bitcoin-acquisition/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MicroStrategy’s Chairman and a staunch Bitcoin advocate</a>, plans to pitch the idea of Bitcoin investment to Microsoft’s board of directors. Saylor has been allotted just three minutes to present his case, arguing that integrating Bitcoin into Microsoft&#39;s portfolio could stabilize its stock and mitigate risks.The initiative stems from the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), which praised MicroStrategy’s <a href="https://optimisus.com/news/crypto-news/blackrocks-bitcoin-etf-options-debut-with-2-billion-exposure/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> strategy, noting its stock has outperformed Microsoft’s this year. Saylor previously sought a private discussion with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, but his request was declined, prompting him to address the board directly.Saylor contends that tech giants like Microsoft, Apple, and Google are missing opportunities to enhance shareholder value by not diversifying into Bitcoin. He believes allocating a portion of their enterprise value to Bitcoin could improve stock stability by anchoring it to tangible assets.Microsoft’s board has recommended rejecting the proposal, citing its existing investment evaluation process. However, a vote on the initiative is scheduled for December 10, requiring Microsoft to justify its stance publicly.Saylor emphasizes that 98.5% of Microsoft’s valuation is tied to earnings, with just 1.5% linked to physical assets. Incorporating Bitcoin, he argues, would provide a stronger financial foundation and boost shareholder confidence.While the proposal faces resistance, it has ignited discussions about corporate cash management. If successful, Saylor’s pitch could influence other major corporations to consider Bitcoin, potentially transforming corporate investment strategies.
