It probably makes sense for such large companies to pay someone to take care of their BTC, but I hope they are aware that this is not the right way to own cryptocurrencies - and if any large company decides to do the same, most BTCs will end up in custodial wallets that will eventually turn into crypto banks.
I’ve read dozens of responses to this tweet and there really are different opinions, but let’s just say I could agree with this one :

While many will certainly not agree that it would be better like this, because let’s be honest life is too short and no one would mind big companies pumping BTC up to $ 100k in the next year. But it should still be taken into account that these big companies like Google or Apple still have shareholders who are strongly against Bitcoin.
Take Warren Buffett for example, he is supposedly the second largest shareholder of Apple, and given his negative opinion of BTC would it be logical for that company to move in the direction of MicroStrategy? On the other hand, Apple's largest shareholder is Vanguard, which according to PlanB is the second largest shareholder of MicroStrategy, which is definitely an interesting fact.
