Michael Saylor to pitch Microsoft board on Bitcoin buying strategy

As a seasoned investor with over two decades of experience under my belt, I find Michael Saylor’s move to pitch Bitcoin to Microsoft’s board intriguing. Having navigated the volatile crypto market myself, I can appreciate his conviction and the potential benefits of such an investment.


As a dedicated researcher, I recently received approval from Microsoft’s esteemed Board of Directors to deliver a succinct, three-minute pitch on the strategic benefits of investing in Bitcoin. This opportunity comes courtesy of Michael Saylor, the charismatic Chairman of MicroStrategy, who is also an ardent Bitcoin bull.

In a November 19th meeting on X Spaces, hosted by VanEck, Saylor stated, “The activist who compiled that proposal reached out to me to present it to the board. I accepted and will deliver a three-minute presentation – that’s the limit set – to our Board of Directors.

It seems sensible to propose this as a topic for discussion in every corporation. Given their vast amounts of cash, it would be beneficial to include Berkshire Hathaway, Apple, Google, and Meta on the agenda because they are all depreciating shareholder value at present.

As a researcher, I’m currently examining the composition of Microsoft’s board of directors, which counts 12 members in total. Among them are the chairman and CEO, Satya Nadella, along with prominent executives hailing from esteemed organizations such as The Walt Disney Company, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and GSK.

In October, it was revealed that Microsoft plans to discuss a potential investment in Bitcoin during their meeting in December.

The proposal was being pushed by the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), which highlighted MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin investment strategy and that its share price has outperformed Microsoft by over 300% this year “despite doing a fraction of the business” of Microsoft.

Currently, Microsoft’s board advised against it due to their existing practice of assessing a broad spectrum of potential investment options, which encompasses cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Nevertheless, Ethan Peck, acting as deputy director at the NCPPR’s Free Enterprise Project, conveyed to CryptoMoon that this proposition might place Microsoft in an awkward spot should they carry out the evaluation and opt against investing in the digital asset.

This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
