PANews reported on December 2 that Michael Saylor gave a 3-minute speech at the Microsoft board of directors. According to the Bitcoin strategy slides he released, he proposed that Bitcoin is the core opportunity for the next wave of technological innovation and suggested that Microsoft adopt Bitcoin as its core corporate strategy. He believes that Bitcoin is "digital capital" and in the current global asset market of about $900 trillion, the market value of Bitcoin is expected to grow from the current $2 trillion to $280 trillion in 2045, surpassing traditional assets such as bonds and gold.
The report emphasizes that Bitcoin far outperforms traditional financial instruments in terms of asset performance, with an annualized rate of return significantly higher than bonds and stocks, and almost no counterparty risk. Saylor also suggested that Microsoft invest part of its funds in Bitcoin to replace traditional dividend distribution and stock repurchase strategies, predicting that this move will increase Microsoft's market value by up to $4.9 trillion by 2034.
In addition, he pointed out that the global institutional support for Bitcoin is continuing to rise, including endorsements from governments, Wall Street and many prominent politicians, showing its potential to become an important part of the financial strategy of global companies. Saylor called on Microsoft to seize this opportunity and take a leading position in global digital financial innovation.
