I wonder if we can expect that the shareholders could decide positively if the board calls them in advance to do the opposite?
IF? It has already decided on advising/recommending voting against every proposal passing the nominees and the audit!
It's in the letter they send to their investors:

A 'yes' vote could really make a big difference for Bitcoin! Every vote counts, so it's important to own shares before December 10. If enough of us rally together, we could really make an impact.
Yup, start buying Microsoft shares now so they could use their money to buy Bitcoin and raise the price, as this would definitely be better than, wait a minute, buying Bitcoin directly with your own money and having the same effect and not risking ending up with Microsoft shares, a negative vote in the meeting and Bitcoin crashing after.
I wonder why people love to complicate things as much as possible!
