AMAZON FOR BITCOIN BUT MICROSOFT AGAINST - Amazon investors are urging the e-commerce giant to add $BTC to its balance sheet, citing MicroStrategy’s massive success. “MicroStrategy—holding BTC—outperformed Amazon by 537% last year,” said the National Center for Public Policy Research. They recommend Amazon allocate even 5% of its assets to Bitcoin. - The proposal comes amid Bitcoin’s surge past $100K, highlighting its growing role as an asset class. Amazon shareholders argue BTC could diversify the company’s treasury and act as an inflation hedge, a strategy gaining traction among institutional players. - Microsoft shareholders, however, rejected a similar proposal this week. Despite Bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor’s pitch—claiming $BTC could add $5 trillion in market value to Microsoft over a decade—the tech giant chose to stick with less volatile assets. - Proxy advisory firms like Glass Lewis backed Microsoft’s decision, emphasizing the lack of evidence that Bitcoin investments would boost returns. Microsoft’s board stated it considers crypto but prefers assets aligned with its risk profile. - NCPPR’s advocacy isn’t stopping with Amazon and Microsoft. The think tank may approach other major corporations, underscoring Bitcoin’s growing influence in corporate strategy debates. Will Amazon embrace BTC where others hesitate?
