Microsoft Stock Surges on AI and Cloud Growth, But Crypto Markets Remain Unmentioned
Microsoft's stock has rallied over 25% in 2025, fueled by another robust earnings report. Azure, its cloud computing division, delivered 39% revenue growth—exceeding forecasts and marking eight consecutive quarters of +30% expansion. Capacity constraints persist, with management projecting 37% Q1 growth.
While quantum computing emerges as a future growth catalyst, the report conspicuously omits any cryptocurrency or blockchain initiatives. None of the major digital assets (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.) or trading platforms (Binance, Coinbase, etc.) feature in Microsoft's disclosed growth drivers.
