Bitcoin is still viewed by most CFOs as a highly speculative asset class, according to the latest CNBC CFO Council quarterly survey.

根据 CNBC 首席财务官委员会最新的季度调查，大多数首席财务官仍将比特币视为一种高度投机的资产类别。

However, only 11% of CFOs in the Q4 survey said bitcoin is a fraud, a significant decrease compared to previous surveys.

The strategy has been a lucrative one for Saylor and the company he co-founded, MicroStrategy. The company's stock price has risen more than 410% this year, with the company holding about 423,650 bitcoins as of Dec. 8, holdings worth upwards of $42.3 billion as bitcoin trades around $100,000. MicroStrategy acquired those holdings at an aggregate price of roughly $26.5 billion, according to the company.

然而，塞勒试图说服微软及其股东将现金流、股息、回购和债务转换为比特币——他支持保守派智库自由企业项目，该项目向微软提交了股东提案，并向亚马逊提交了类似的提案——并没有接近通过。

The more conservative stance of corporations and their shareholders even as bitcoin surges is reflected in the latest CNBC CFO Council quarterly survey, released Thursday.

Microsoft is ahead of many companies in its crypto deliberations.
