 I don't think Microsoft will put sats on their BAlance Sheet yet but if you listen carefully the question just flipped from

why should we put BTC on the BS to why shouldn't we put BTC on the BS

 The CEO of Wells Fargo is on their board, so would be very interesting to see how that played out.

 Who are these people? Have you looked at their history?

 Something to consider is that Blackrock is $MS 2nd largest shareholder.  They have demonstrated their persuasion well in the past.

 microsoft now also basically embeds an LXC runtime in their OS as an optional component and appears to be throwing a lot of money at Canonical these days

pretty sure ballmer and gates would never have allowed that either

honestly, i can really envision things flipping and windows migrates to linux kernel, ARM hardware, and they maintain a legacy W32/W64 API and directX

the benefits of everyone going unix are pretty obvious at this point i think... even much of recent years work adding features to microsoft has been about improving posix compliance
