At Bitcoin for Corporations 2025, Michael Saylor didn’t hold back—he publicly challenged Microsoft to go all in on Bitcoin, claiming it's the ultimate asset in the AI era.
“Bitcoin is the universal, perpetual, profitable merger partner,” Saylor declared, urging CFOs and finance chiefs to ditch bonds and stock buybacks — and embrace BTC instead.
The numbers?
— Microsoft’s 5-year growth: +18%
— Bitcoin’s 5-year surge: +62%
— Bonds? Negative.
— Stock buybacks? Lose 97% in 10 years.
Saylor’s verdict? “Buying Bitcoin is 10x better than buying back MSFT stock.”
He called 2024 “Year Zero” — the birth of Bitcoin as a corporate treasury standard, post-SEC ETF approval and fair-value accounting. 2025 is Year One — and the window to lead is closing fast.
His final shot?
“Rich people own hard assets. Not cash. Not promises. Bitcoin is freedom, and it’s now.”
