يخطط مايكل سايلور، الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة MicroStrategy، لاقتراح اعتماد Bitcoin على مجلس إدارة Microsoft الشهر المقبل لاستراتيجية خزانة الشركة. وقد عرض سايلور، أحد أكبر المدافعين عن احتياطيات Bitcoin للشركات، الفكرة على الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة مايكروسوفت ناديلا في أكتوبر.
وأخبر سايلور ناديلا أن مايكروسوفت ستضيف تريليون دولار أخرى من القيمة لمساهميها إذا أدرجت احتياطي Bitcoin إلى احتياطيها cash الحالي البالغ ٧٨ مليار دولار. ومع ذلك، نصح مجلس إدارة Microsoft مساهمي الشركة بالتصويت ضد استراتيجية اعتماد احتياطي BTC في ملف SEC الأمريكي قبل اجتماع مجلس الإدارة التالي في 10 ديسمبر. وكشف سايلور أيضًا أن ناديلا رفض مقابلته لمناقشة الاقتراح.

During a November 19th X Spaces forum hosted by VanEck, Saylor confirmed that he had agreed to present the BTC reserve proposal to the Microsoft Board next month. He claimed that he would have a three-minute presentation to convince the tech giant’s board of directors about investing in Bitcoin. Saylor noted that Bitcoin was something everybody needed; nobody could stop, and few understood. The Kobeissi Letter, a leading commentary on global capital markets, asserted that Microsoft could change the way big corporations view cash on the balance sheet if Saylor’s pitch works.
The MicroStrategy chairman disclosed that he had proposed to meet Microsoft’s CEO in confidence to discuss the issue. He, however, claimed that the proposed meeting had been declined. Saylor said he would put together the three-minute proposal for Microsoft and send it to the Board ahead of the Microsoft Board’s meeting scheduled for December 10th.
“The activist that put that proposal together contacted me to present to the board, and I agreed to provide a three-minute presentation — that’s all you’re allowed — and I’m going to present it to the board of directors.”

Microsoft had disclosed in October that conducting an assessment on investing in Bitcoin would be one of the voting items in December. Ethan Peck, deputy director of the NCCPR’s Free Enterprise Project, insisted that Microsoft could be in a tight spot if it conducted the assessment and determined not to invest in Bitcoin.
Saylor believes all large corporations should consider BTC reserves
According to Saylor, it’s not a bad idea to include Bitcoin reserve investment in every company’s agenda. He believes that it ought to be put on the agenda of Meta, Apple, Google, and Berkshire Hathaway because they all had large cash reserves that burned shareholder value.
The BTC bull added that 98.5% of Microsoft’s total company value was leveraged to its quarterly earnings, while 1.5% of its stock value came from its physical assets. Notably, Microsoft’s 12-member board recommended voting against investing in a Bitcoin reserve, pointing out that it had evaluated a wide range of investable assets, including Bitcoin.
The National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) pushed for Microsoft’s BTC adoption proposal, highlighting MicroStrategy’s successful Bitcoin investment strategy. The NCPPR noted that MicroStrategy’s stock outperformed Microsoft’s stock by over 300% despite doing only a fraction of Microsoft’s business.
NCPPR’s Ethan Peck observed that Microsoft had a fiduciary duty to act in the financial interest of its shareholders. He emphasized that Microsoft risks a lawsuit if it ignored Bitcoin and its price skyrocketed.
