#TrumpMediaBitcoinTreasury Meta Shareholders Reject Proposal to Include Bitcoin in Treasury
In a decisive move, Meta Platforms Inc. shareholders voted against a proposal to add Bitcoin to the company’s corporate treasury, signaling continued investor caution around cryptocurrency integration in traditional tech operations.
The proposal, brought forth by a minority group of investors during Meta’s annual shareholder meeting, argued that holding Bitcoin could serve as a hedge against inflation and provide long-term value diversification. Proponents pointed to companies like MicroStrategy and Tesla that have added Bitcoin to their balance sheets as examples of forward-thinking treasury strategy.
However, the majority of shareholders were not convinced. Concerns centered around Bitcoin’s extreme volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and the potential distraction from Meta’s core business objectives—particularly as the company invests heavily in AI, virtual reality, and the metaverse.
Meta’s board had recommended voting against the proposal, emphasizing a more conservative approach to capital allocation and risk management. “Our focus remains on disciplined financial stewardship and long-term value creation,” the company stated in its proxy materials ahead of the vote.
The rejection reflects broader market hesitancy toward crypto adoption at the corporate level, especially following high-profile collapses in the digital asset space in recent years. While institutional interest in Bitcoin continues to grow in certain sectors, most public companies remain reluctant to embrace it as a treasury asset.
With the proposal now off the table, Meta appears committed to maintaining a traditional approach to financial management—at least for the foreseeable future.
