Microsoft shareholders are set to vote on a proposal to consider adding Bitcoin to the company's balance sheet during a meeting scheduled for December 10. This initiative was introduced in a filing with the United States securities regulator, emphasizing the significant gains experienced by firms such as MicroStrategy, which has invested heavily in Bitcoin. The National Center for Public Policy Research has argued that such investments could potentially outperform Microsoft, highlighting a more than 300% increase for MicroStrategy this year alone. Despite the volatility of Bitcoin, proponents of the proposal suggest that even a small allocation of assets, such as 1%, could serve as a hedge against inflation and corporate bond yields. However, Microsoft’s board is recommending that shareholders vote against the proposal, asserting that the company already assesses a wide range of investable assets, including Bitcoin.
