🚫 Meta Shareholders Reject Proposal to Add Bitcoin to Treasury — A Missed Opportunity?
In a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), tech giant Meta disclosed the results of its 2025 annual shareholder meeting — and one headline proposal stood out: a vote on whether to add Bitcoin (BTC) to the company’s treasury reserves.
According to Foresight News, the proposal was overwhelmingly rejected, with 498 million votes against and only 3.91 million in favor. The idea, pushed by a minority group of forward-thinking investors, aimed to see Meta join the likes of MicroStrategy and Tesla in diversifying treasury holdings with digital assets.
💡 Why It Matters
The vote reveals a stark contrast between traditional corporate strategy and the growing momentum around crypto adoption. While many tech firms are exploring blockchain, NFTs, and metaverse use cases, very few have taken the step to hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets — a move often seen as a bullish signal for long-term confidence in digital currency.#FTXRefunds
The rejection signals Meta’s continued caution around direct crypto exposure, despite the company’s massive investment in digital ecosystems through its metaverse vision and past blockchain ventures.
🧠 The Bigger Picture
Some analysts view the vote as a missed opportunity to hedge against inflation and add digital diversification to Meta's $40+ billion in cash reserves. Others argue that the rejection reflects a broader concern among institutional shareholders about crypto’s volatility and regulatory uncertainty in the U.S.#TradingTypes101
Still, the conversation itself marks progress. That such a proposal made it to the shareholder ballot at one of the world’s largest tech companies shows that Bitcoin is increasingly entering boardroom discussions, even if not yet corporate treasuries.#CEXvsDEX101
