“Bitcoin is the best asset you can own. The numbers themselves say it all. It makes more sense to buy Bitcoin than to buy back your own stock or to hold Bitcoin instead of holding bonds. If you want to outperform you need Bitcoin,” Saylor said on YouTube. Mentioned in his presentation posted.

Michael Saylor gives an alternative
Sailor said Microsoft’s board has been given a choice: stick to the past with a traditional financial strategy that slows growth and increases investor risk, or reinvent that strategy by embracing Bitcoin’s future with accelerated growth.

If the company implements the strategic reserve of Bitcoin, its market capitalization would also increase by between $1 trillion and $4.9 trillion per share.
