There has been some scuttlebutt over Microsoft's huge cash hoard (70 odd Billion or so) and the fact that an activist investor has acquired a few minutes for Saylor to present to the board as to why they should hold Bitcoin on their Balance sheet.

Microsoft is an interesting candidate as their stock has underperformed the other Big tech companies recently but it still seems quite unlikely.

What say you Stackers? Will Microsoft buy Bitcoin?

No- they love fiat too much20.8%

No- too much corporate bureaucracy20.8%

Possibly- but not anytime soon13.9%

Yes- in the next few years13.9%

Yes- in the next 12 months26.4%

No chance or almost no chance. Even Saylor won't convince them. They have to miss this bull run and maybe by the next one they will have learned.

I don't think so either. They would need massive shareholder pressure or the stock to languish for a long period of time and their other strategies to fail.

They're going to zero against bitcoin, but when most companies are it's not so obvious. I think smaller companies will adopt first.

Also, when MSTR becomes the largest market cap, it will be easier to see how much sitting on fiat sucks.

Anyone saying they will buy in this cycle should be discounted in their opinions on tradfi

I think people will vote no. I don't think the average Microsoft share holder is ready for that.

Won't blackrock and fidelity be voting a lot of proxies? Seems like a good opportunity to protect from dollar debasement and pump their etfs

That’s a good point but that would only be if it went to a shareholder vote.

Agreed.

I'm... not so sure. What do I know?

However the shareholders are big time into the stock Number-Go-Up. And that 'number-go-up' of MSTR is so significant it makes sense that other companies (ie MSFT) would do the same things.

Maybe microstrategy will acquire Microsoft after this bull run or the next.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby OP 15h

Might new a few more cycles for that. Microsoft is 30x bigger than MSTR.

I think Microsoft is now at a stage where it'll decline and most probably it'd like to extract out whatever it can. But, it would surely bever ever buy Bitcoin.

nope, I don't think so, but that's maybe good. Let them descend into obscurity...lol where they belong....

I dont think so, but you never know. Train is leaving the station.

I saw one of the Bloomberg etf guys say that he thought it was unlikely but he would have also thought you were crazy if 12 months ago you said the US would consider a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

It will happen eventually but these huge corporates work at a snail's pace. That's why smaller more nimble companies can front run them.

If they wanted to, they would have gotten into it before. I remember Saylor was doing conferences with the big companies, only tesla invested in btc.

Yes, in the next 12 months, because Kramer said they never would.

37 sats \ 3 replies \ @grayruby OP 20 Nov

Did he actually say that? I saw someone posted that but I thought it was just a meme. I couldn't find where he said it.

40 sats \ 2 replies \ @SimpleStacker 20 Nov

I may have fallen for fake news. Very real possibility.

Fake news is sometimes the most fun.

At this rate it'd be more straightforward for MSTR to just acquire MSFT via LBO

I hope not, I don't have enough sats.

You are still way ahead of most of the world. Just keep stacking and I reckon you will be fine.

I hope you are right.

Poll: When will Microsoft deliver another holiday worldwide?

I think it's close. Not only MS but others will also be lining up very soon. Get ready for the sub-sub corporate adoption of Bitcoin.

40 sats \ 1 reply \ @j7hB75 20 Nov

I think once more and more larger companies start buying Bitcoin then it will have a fomo effect. MSTR has been leading the initiative. Now if MSFT can jump on board then that would start the dominoes probably.

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby OP 20 Nov

I do think you are right in the sense that once one of these large mega corps buys they all will in the span of a couple years. But that first hurdle is pretty high. Sadly these boards and executives would rather underperform than stick out their neck and say let's try this innovative thing and have egg on their face if it fails. None of these guys wants to be the guy that bought bitcoin at 100k if it's at 50k in the next bear market. They would rather get 4% on treasuries.

I feel like this is going to be a rapid wave through every big organization. You can see the pace picking up everyday.

Now, I doubt Microsoft will go full Microstrategy, but they might put 1% into Bitcoin.

We need a predyx market on this. @mega_dreamer

Will microsoft add bitcoin to its balance sheet in 2025?

40 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 20 Nov

It's a great one.

I think that every day there will be a resurgence of companies that were already doing it and obviously more will join in. That bitcoin is the formula for their success is something that everyone at MicroStrategy is seeing and obviously they don't want to miss out on that. Remember that their main focus is to get more wealth and make their companies worth even more.
