How to Buy Tokenized Microsoft (MSFT) Stock on GM Markets
GM Markets provides a permissionless, self-custodial, and composable way for eligible users outside the United States to gain economic exposure to Microsoft (MSFT) stock through tokenization. Our platform offers direct on-chain settlement and transparent 1:1 backing for every tokenized share. This guide details the precise steps to acquire tokenized MSFT on our platform, integrating traditional equity exposure with the decentralized finance ecosystem.
We understand the importance of clear, secure access to global equities. Our approach combines the stability of established market assets with the innovation of blockchain technology, ensuring that you maintain control over your investments while benefiting from verifiable transparency.
Understanding Tokenized Microsoft (MSFT) Stock
A tokenized stock is a digital representation of a real-world asset on a blockchain. Specifically, when you acquire tokenized Microsoft (MSFT) stock on GM Markets, you are gaining economic exposure to an actual share of Microsoft held in custody on your behalf. Every token we issue is fully backed 1:1 by an underlying MSFT share.
These underlying shares are held in segregated customer accounts at regulated US broker-dealers, such as Interactive Brokers and Alpaca Markets. This ensures that your assets are kept separate from our operational funds and are subject to their respective jurisdictions' protections. Our security protocols and custody arrangements are designed to provide a robust framework for asset protection.
It is important to understand that holding tokenized MSFT provides economic exposure equivalent to the underlying stock. This means your token's value tracks the price movements of Microsoft shares, and dividends are reflected through an increase in the token's on-chain Net Asset Value (NAV) rather than a separate cash payout. However, tokenized shares do not confer traditional shareholder voting rights. You benefit from the economic performance without the administrative aspects of direct share ownership.
Microsoft itself is a global technology leader, founded in 1975. The company operates across three primary segments: Productivity and Business Processes (including Microsoft 365, LinkedIn, Dynamics 365), Intelligent Cloud (anchored by Azure), and More Personal Computing (Windows, Xbox, Surface). For its fiscal year 2025 (ended June 30, 2025), Microsoft reported total revenue of $281.7 billion, marking a 15% increase year-over-year, and net income of $101.8 billion, as detailed in their investor relations reports. In Q1 Fiscal Year 2026 (ended September 30, 2025), Microsoft Cloud revenue reached $49.1 billion, with Azure and other cloud services revenue growing by 40%. Azure maintained approximately 21% of the global cloud market in Q1 2026, positioning it as the second-largest provider after Amazon Web Services (AWS) according to market analysis. By April 2026, the Windows operating system held approximately 72.2% share of the global desktop operating system market per StatCounter data. The company’s strategic focus on artificial intelligence has also driven significant growth, with its AI business achieving an annual revenue run rate of $37 billion in Q3 Fiscal Year 2026 (ended March 31, 2026), representing a 123% year-over-year increase, as announced during Microsoft's earnings call. As of May 2026, Microsoft's market capitalization was approximately $3.07 trillion. These figures underscore Microsoft's significant and sustained market presence, which you can gain exposure to through our tokenized assets.

- Self-Custody: We prioritize your control. Users retain full self-custody over their tokenized assets in their embedded MPC (Multi-Party Computation) wallet. This means no single party, including GM Markets, holds the complete private key, enhancing security and empowering you with direct ownership.
- Composability: Our tokenized assets are standard ERC-20 tokens, designed for seamless integration with the broader decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. This unique feature allows you to use your tokenized MSFT across various DeFi protocols for lending, borrowing, and liquidity provision on platforms like Aave, Morpho, Uniswap, Curve, and CoW Swap. Your equity exposure can become productive capital.
- Fractional Ownership: We enable accessible investing. You can invest in tokenized MSFT from as little as $1, allowing for precise portfolio allocation and diversification without requiring large capital outlays for full shares. Our tokens are fractional to six decimal places.
- Global Access: Our platform is designed for international users. GM Markets is available to eligible individuals outside the United States and other restricted jurisdictions, providing a pathway to US-listed equities that might otherwise be difficult to access.
- Transparent Fees: We maintain a clear and straightforward pricing model. Our platform features a single trading fee ranging from 10 to 20 basis points (0.10% to 0.20%). This fee is included in the quoted price, so the "You will receive" line is final. We charge no hidden costs, such as custody fees, inactivity fees, dividend cuts, or FX markups.

Step 2: Deposit Funds
Once connected, you will need to fund your account. We support deposits via stablecoins like USDC and USDT, which are unified into USDF on our platform. You can send USDC from any of the supported blockchain networks, including Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum, and Optimism.

Step 4: Place Your Trade
On the MSFT market page, you can enter the amount of tokenized Microsoft you wish to acquire.

Slippage tolerance defaults to 0.5% and is user-configurable, allowing you to manage potential price movements during the trade. The trading fee, which ranges from 0.10% to 0.20% depending on your 14-day trading volume, is already included in the quoted price.

Security and Assurance on GM Markets
At GM Markets, we prioritize the security and transparency of your assets. Our platform is built on a foundation of robust security measures and verifiable assurances:
- Proof of Reserves: We maintain real-time, on-chain attestation of our reserves through Accountable, a third-party proof-of-reserves provider. This system independently verifies that every tokenized share issued on our platform is backed 1:1 by an actual share held in custody. You can inspect the live backing ratio for all assets, including MSFT, on our Proof of Reserves page.
- Smart Contract Audits: Our smart contracts, which underpin the tokenization and trading mechanisms, undergo rigorous audits by reputable firms. These include Sherlock, Halborn, Cantina, and Cyfrin. Regular re-audits are conducted for any material upgrades, ensuring the ongoing integrity and security of our protocol. We are also pursuing SOC 2 Type II certification.
- Continuity Plan: We have established a clear continuity plan to protect your assets even in unforeseen circumstances. A designated security agent has the authority to work directly with our custodians to redeem outstanding tokens against their underlying shares if GM Markets discontinues operations. This redemption path is enforced by the on-chain contract, operating independently of our commercial status. Your shares are held in segregated accounts and are not on GM Markets' balance sheet.
- Jurisdiction and Risk Disclosure: It is important to note that GM Markets does not offer services to users in the United States or other restricted jurisdictions. All users are responsible for understanding and complying with their local regulations. Trading tokenized stocks involves risk. Markets can move against you, and you may lose money. Tokenized assets, while offering unique advantages, carry specific risks, including settlement risk, counterparty risk, smart-contract risk, and custody risk. We do not provide financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Please consult our legal and risk disclosures for full details.
