Microsoft has added a “Bitcoin investment consideration” proposal to the voting items for its annual shareholder meeting to be held on December 10, 2024. However, the company’s board of directors is recommending a vote against the proposal. The proposal was brought by the National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative think tank that is on the advisory board of Project 2025.
Microsoft’s filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) states that the board of directors found the proposal “unnecessary.” The company stated that it has already conducted rigorous assessments in this area and that “Microsoft’s Global Treasury and Investment Services team continuously evaluates investment options that meet criteria such as diversification and inflation protection to fund operations.” It also stated that Bitcoin and other crypto assets were among the previous considerations, but that such investments should be carefully reviewed due to volatility.
