Microsoft will hold a shareholders’ meeting on December 10, when Microsoft shareholders will vote on the “Bitcoin Investment Proposal” , the proposal calls for evaluating the benefits of investing a portion of your assets, even just 1%, in Bitcoin. If the proposal is passed, it will be another milestone affecting the encryption industry.
On December 1, Microsoft held a board meeting, and MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor was invited to present a 44-page PPT "Microsoft Bitcoin Strategy" for 3 minutes at the meeting.
Michael Saylor told the Microsoft board of directors that Microsoft cannot miss the next wave of technology wave "digital capital". The biggest digital transformation in the 21st century is capital transformation, and Bitcoin is digital capital. It is necessary for Microsoft to evaluate its Bitcoin strategy options. The Bitcoin strategy will increase Microsoft's market value by trillions of dollars. Microsoft can create shareholder value of 1 trillion to 4.9 trillion US dollars through Bitcoin. If Microsoft adopts "triple maximalism," its market capitalization could increase by nearly $5 trillion. Microsoft will succeed if it adopts Bitcoin as the standard.
