Since October, the American think tank "National Center for Public Policy Research" (NCPPR) has submitted shareholder proposals urging Microsoft and Amazon to consider investing in Bitcoin, believing that this would protect these companies and their investors from inflation. The organization stated that more Bitcoin proposals are in the works and also believes that promoting Bitcoin adoption aligns with its agenda of "supporting freedom," as cryptocurrencies are fundamentally free from government control. Microsoft shareholders have already voted against the Bitcoin investment proposal, while it remains uncertain whether Amazon will adopt this strategy. (The Washington Post) Previously, on December 13, NCPPR proposed that Amazon include Bitcoin in its financial reserves. NCPPR believes that Bitcoin can serve as a hedge against currency devaluation, but it remains unclear whether Amazon will adopt more innovative strategies.
