What the Microsoft perpetual is
Microsoft sells Windows, Office and Azure cloud services, and is a major partner of OpenAI. Its shares trade on Nasdaq and are among the largest by market value.
The BRVX MSFT perp tracks the price in USDT with no expiry.
Microsoft's fiscal year ends in June, so its 'Q1' report lands in October. Build in May and Ignite in November carry AI and Copilot news; watch Azure's growth rate, stated as a percentage, above everything else.
What moves MSFT
Azure and AI.
- Azure growth rate each quarter.
- Returns on AI spending, including Copilot adoption.
- News around the OpenAI partnership.
- Gaming after the Activision Blizzard deal, now a sizeable revenue line with Xbox Game Pass at its centre.
- LinkedIn and Dynamics, the steadier parts that rarely move the stock alone.
Long or short Microsoft?
An MSFT long bets on Azure growth and AI revenue from Copilot.
An MSFT short bets on AI spending outpacing returns or Azure slowing.
