(Bloomberg) -- $Microsoft(MSFT)$ Microsoft Corp., the world’s largest software maker, announced its largest ever stock-repurchase program of as much as $60 billion, at a time when U.S. lawmakers are considering a tax on buybacks.

The company’s recent resurgence has given it a market value north of $2.2 trillion, making it the second-most valuable publicly traded company after a 35% rise in its shares over 2021.

Its previous buyback plan, unveiled in September 2019, was for $40 billion.
