Key Points

  • Microsoft shareholders are considering the integration of Bitcoin into their financial strategy.
  • The decision is expected to be made on Tuesday, Dec. 10 following a new filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Microsoft shareholders are contemplating whether to incorporate Bitcoin, whose value has recently exceeded $100,000, into their financial strategy. The decision could be made as soon as Tuesday, Dec. 10, following a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Assessment of Investing in Bitcoin

The proposal, titled “Assessment of Investing in Bitcoin,” has been presented by the National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative advocacy group. This group promotes Bitcoin as a protective measure against inflation.

Despite this proposal, Microsoft’s board has recommended that shareholders vote against it. The board’s hesitation is reflected in the views of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who has previously voiced his doubts about the speculative nature of cryptocurrencies. In 2022, he referred to the trend towards digital assets as “100% based on greater fool theory.”

Impact on the Cryptocurrency Sector

The impending vote could have a significant impact on the entire cryptocurrency investment sector. If Microsoft approves the proposal, it could boost Bitcoin’s legitimacy and encourage its adoption by mainstream financial institutions.

On the other hand, a decision to reject the proposal could signal Microsoft’s intention to maintain a more conservative asset portfolio. This would set the company apart from firms like MicroStrategy and Tesla, which have invested heavily in Bitcoin.

MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor is a strong supporter of Bitcoin. He has stated that he will continue to accumulate the cryptocurrency as part of his company’s strategy. In early December, he appealed to Microsoft’s board, advocating for Bitcoin as a necessary evolution in digital asset management and urging its inclusion in Microsoft’s balance sheet in the near future.

During his presentation, Saylor referred to Bitcoin as the greatest digital transformation of the 21st century. He further stated that Bitcoin is the “highest performing uncorrelated asset that a corporation can hold on its balance sheet.”
