Microsoft Shareholders Reject Bitcoin Proposal

On December 10, 2024, Microsoft shareholders voted down a proposal urging the company to allocate part of its assets to Bitcoin.
The proposal had faced opposition from the board, which highlighted concerns over Bitcoinโs volatility and its potential impact on financial stability
Key details:
- The proposal sought to position Microsoft alongside firms like MicroStrategy, which have adopted Bitcoin as part of their treasury strategy.
- Microsoft CFO Amy Hood reiterated the companyโs cautious stance but emphasized that they continue to monitor trends in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology for potential opportunities.
What’s the immediate impact: Well, if Microsoft voted yes, it would clearly affect the price of Bitcoin to go up. But it wasn’t the case and instead, we see Bitcoin still finding its way at the $96,000 – $97,000.
Whatโs next: As mentioned, it appears they are not ruling it out completely. A more favorable regulatory clarity, which is expected beginning the next U.S. administration could change the view of the company’s shareholders to the largest digital asset by market capitalization.
