Microsoft will vote on whether to invest in Bitcoin at its annual shareholders meeting on December 10, 2024. The proposal was made by the National Center for Public Policy Research, which recommends that Microsoft evaluate the inclusion of Bitcoin in its balance sheet. However, Microsoft's board of directors recommended that shareholders vote against it, believing that the volatility of cryptocurrencies is too high and that the company has fully considered relevant asset management strategies; the voting results may reflect the change in institutional attitudes towards cryptocurrencies. If the proposal is passed, Microsoft will join other large companies such as MicroStrategy and Tesla in directly or indirectly holding Bitcoin as an asset.
