8 months ago Microsoft voted against putting bitcoin on their balance sheet.
⭐ Merited by BitGoba (1)
MS had tens of billions in cash to invest. Would it have killed them to allocate just a tiny bit,
maybe $10 million to bitcoin? Not a very smart move. Larry Fink does not approve.
They will have fun holding on to your rapidly melting ice cubes of cash.
What did MS do with all that cash? They probably put much of it in bonds, even
after Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan and many others predicted a high likelihood of a
crash in the bond market. No country wants to buy that worthless shit anymore.
China and Japan the biggest holders of US bonds are dumping it like crazy.
So why would any sane person want it? MS shareholders are dumb as shit.

Here's a closer look at the situation
Shareholder Vote: On December 10, 2024, Microsoft shareholders voted against a proposal
urging the company to add Bitcoin to its balance sheet. The proposal, put forth by the
National Center for Public Policy Research, suggested allocating a small percentage (1-5%)
of the company's assets to Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and to potentially increase shareholder value.
Board's Recommendation: Microsoft's board of directors recommended that shareholders vote against the proposal.
They argued that the company already has robust processes for evaluating a wide range of investable assets,
including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, to fund its operations and ensure liquidity. They also emphasized
that corporate treasuries require stable and predictable investments, and Bitcoin's volatility poses a significant
risk to these applications.
