đMicrosoft shareholders vote ânoâ to Bitcoin reservesđ
The companyâs board of directors opposed the resolution, citing Bitcoinâs alleged volatility as a negative factor.
The National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), a pro-free market think tank based in Washington, D.C., had proposed the resolution, framing it as a corporate duty to provide shareholder value through profit diversification.
đŞâď¸ The proposal did note that Bitcoin was âmore volatileâ than corporate bonds, so it advised against holding âtoo much of it,â but it also advised against risking shareholder value by âignoring Bitcoin altogether.â
As such, the NCPPR recommended using between 1% and 5% of the companyâs profits to buy Bitcoin. The proposal formally requested that Microsoft âconduct an assessment to determine whether diversifying the companyâs balance sheet to include Bitcoin is in the best long-term interests of shareholders.â
đŽđ¸ However, Microsoftâs board of directors was unfazed before the vote. âMicrosoft has robust and appropriate processes in place to manage and diversify its corporate treasury for the long-term benefit of shareholders,â the board wrote in the aforementioned SEC filing, âand this requested public assessment is not warranted.â
