Satya's strategic insight deserves recognition. Certainly, there's a slight risk that Microsoft might fail to yield its substantial investment speculated to be around $10B in OpenAI. However, that's not Satya's principal concern. Rather, his focus is on the next move. Possibly, assemble the most elite AI collective globally, unhindered by the constrictions of a non-profit operating a profit-oriented entity? Offer them a sufficient amount of monetary rewards, and it's likely that a large proportion of OpenAI's workforce would be willing to join the bandwagon led by Sam and Greg. While this process may take some time, the potential payoff could encompass a much larger segment of the future for Microsoft than was previously conceivable through the OpenAI investment.

$10B largely in cloud credits that have a 70% margin back to MS, so more towards $3B.
