I wish they would. It would make it a lot easier for other companies to do so.

He's been asked this. I believe his answer was something along the lines of, if they want to be paid in bitcoin they can be (most of us know several ways of doing this). The reason they don't has to do with accounting and tax complexities. Not saying I agree with him. I'm not a CPA, tax expert, and have never run a publicly traded company. He's probably right that is simpler to use fiat and let the employees deal with it. I suspect if the tax code and accounting rules changed they would offer it. I do recall that general accounting rules changed recently and that will greatly help MSTR when reporting on their company balance sheets. I suspect the same would be true on this if the "rules" change.

When you play in the fiat world, run a public company or even a private company you have to abide by the rules of the state or they come after you. Its like Jesus said. Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. If you play in the fiat world you live by their rules. Bitcoin will win because it is a new alternative system that can grow and overtake the old system.
