Michael Saylor Urges Tech Giants to Invest in Bitcoin as 'Digital Capital'
Tech billionaire Michael Saylor has been vocal about the benefits of Bitcoin, comparing it to a 'digital building' and urging tech giants like Microsoft to invest in it.
Saylor, the CEO of MicroStrategy, praises Bitcoin for its unique qualities. He sees it as an 'invisible, indestructible, immortal, and teleportable' digital asset, uncorrelated with traditional investments. Unlike stocks, bonds, or currencies, Bitcoin isn't tied to any single country, corporation, or culture.
Saylor believes Bitcoin should be seen as 'digital capital', a fundamentally different type of asset. He suggests that tech companies, which have built their empires on digital infrastructure, should now power their operations with digital capital like Bitcoin. At Strategy World 2025, Saylor advised Microsoft to buy Bitcoin instead of conducting stock buybacks. However, Microsoft's shareholders have so far rejected proposals for such investments.
Saylor's advocacy is backed by Bitcoin's impressive performance. Over the last five years, it has outperformed Microsoft stock by 30% annually (62% vs 18%). Bitcoin has also shown remarkable growth compared to bonds, outperforming them by 63% annually. Saylor believes buying Bitcoin would be 10 times better than buying Microsoft's own stock.
Michael Saylor's endorsement of Bitcoin as a unique, uncorrelated digital asset has gained attention. Despite Microsoft's shareholders rejecting investment proposals, Saylor's advice may influence other tech companies to consider Bitcoin as a viable investment option.
