One prediction market prices this story:

  • Microsoft / MSFT — resolved “Yes” on 23 Oct 2026. The outcome is Yes if Donald Trump mentions Microsoft or MSFT between October 1, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET and November 1, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often get wrong the specific time window for Trump's statement. They might think any mention of Microsoft counts, but it must be after October 1, 2026, and before November 1, 2026.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
