Microsoft is set to hold its annual shareholders meeting on December 9, during which a key proposal regarding investment in Bitcoin will be voted on. An SEC filing revealed that the company’s board recommends shareholders vote against assessing the potential for investing in Bitcoin. It remains unclear if this proposal means adding Bitcoin to Microsoft's balance sheet. The filing states that the company's management has carefully considered this issue already. As one of the largest software companies, Microsoft currently allows customers to use Bitcoin for purchases in its online stores. Should Microsoft decide to invest in Bitcoin, it would join a small group of U.S. firms, such as MicroStrategy, which has successfully invested in the cryptocurrency since 2020 and holds significant reserves. The meeting and the vote will clarify Microsoft's position on cryptocurrency investments going forward.
