Michael Saylor Urges Tech Giants Like Microsoft to Buy Bitcoin
Michael Saylor, co-founder of the software company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), has made waves with his bold stance on Bitcoin. At the recent Strategy World 2025, Saylor advised tech giants like Microsoft to buy Bitcoin instead of engaging in stock buybacks, a strategy he believes could significantly boost their performance.
Saylor, a long-time advocate for Bitcoin, sees the cryptocurrency as a unique asset that is not exposed to traditional risks such as competitors, countries, or currencies. He argues that a company like Microsoft, with billions in cash, should consider the upside of Bitcoin, given its impressive performance record. Over the last five years, Bitcoin has outperformed Microsoft's stock by a staggering 48% annually.
Saylor describes Bitcoin as 'digital capital', a fundamentally different type of asset. He compares it to an 'invisible, indestructible, immortal, and teleportable' digital building, highlighting its advantages as an uncorrelated asset on a company's balance sheet. Saylor's aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy for Strategy reflects his belief in the cryptocurrency's potential.
Michael Saylor's advice to tech giants like Microsoft is clear: consider allocating a portion of your cash reserves to Bitcoin. With its impressive performance record and unique characteristics, Bitcoin could provide a new avenue for companies to diversify their portfolios and potentially boost their returns.
