Microsoft is set to hold its annual shareholders meeting on December 9, 2024, where a significant agenda item will be a vote on whether the company should invest in Bitcoin. The proposal, outlined in a recent SEC filing, has the board recommending that shareholders vote against such an investment. It remains unclear if this vote pertains to adding Bitcoin to Microsoft's balance sheet or another form of investment. Microsoft currently accepts Bitcoin for purchases at its Windows and Xbox platforms. If Microsoft were to invest, it would stand out as one of the few U.S. companies taking this step; MicroStrategy, for instance, is noted for being a significant corporate holder of Bitcoin. While the tech industry has seen successes with Bitcoin investments, most public companies have refrained from making similar moves.
