Relying on the fact that Microsoft's executive leadership is very familiar with traditional M&A activities, Saylor immediately likened Bitcoin to a potential acquisition target that Microsoft should consider, with the following data:
- Microsoft has a market capitalization of around $3 trillion. With $27 billion in cash and $70 billion in assets with a 10% annual growth rate.
- Bitcoin's annual return rate (ARR) is 62% compared to Microsoft's ARR of 18%. Furthermore, Bitcoin's profits are not accompanied by the complexity and risks typically seen in traditional M&A activities.
- If Microsoft can convert $200 billion of its current capital into Bitcoin shares, then:
+) The risk of the business losing value will decrease from 95% to 59%.
Saylor argues that Microsoft's current treasury strategy exposes them to all counterparty risks, while BTC is a path to significantly reduce those risks.
+) The annual profit will increase from 10.4% to 15.8%.
Saylor stated:
"Bitcoin is a global, long-term, and profitable acquisition partner."
So, for a company that can increase its profits by 60% per year, with 1x revenue, should Microsoft spend $100 billion per year to acquire this company?
The answer is clearly yes!
According to Saylor, if Microsoft allocates $100 billion per year to buy BTC consistently for 10 years, by 2034 the MSFT stock price is estimated by Saylor to reach $584. And it will create nearly $5 trillion in value for shareholders.
Meanwhile, MSFT is currently trading around $423.46, up 14% YTD.
Finally, Michael Saylor firmly stated to the company's shareholders:
"Do the right thing for customers, employees, shareholders, the country, the world, and your legacy.
Adopt Bitcoin."
This presentation took place in the context of Microsoft announcing in October that "considering investing in Bitcoin" will be an option appearing on the company's annual shareholder meeting ballot in early December.
To give shareholders a clearer view of the pros and cons of the new investment, Microsoft invited Michael Saylor to share his insights.
And true to the community's expectations, Saylor delivered an impressive 3-minute presentation, with clear data evidence and the conclusion "Adopt Bitcoin".
While it is unclear how the tech company's shareholders will decide, the community has expressed appreciation and admiration for Saylor, a person who has never gone against BTC.
