Meta股東提議投資比特幣以對沖通膨

Facebook 母公司 Meta 的一位股東提議對公司的財務策略進行重大轉變。

A shareholder in Meta (NASDAQ:META) has proposed that the company use a portion of its cash reserves to purchase Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC).

Meta（納斯達克股票代碼：META）的一位股東提議該公司使用部分現金儲備購買比特幣（CRYPTO：BTC）。

What Happened: The proposal was submitted by Ethan Peck, a staffer for The National Center for Public Policy Research, on behalf of his family's Meta shares, Bitcoin YouTuber Tim Kotzman revealed on Tuesday.

發生了什麼事：比特幣 YouTuber Tim Kotzman 週二透露，該提案是由國家公共政策研究中心的工作人員 Ethan Peck 代表其家族的 Meta 股份提交的。

The proposal aims to protect Meta's cash reserves from inflation, which could erode their value over time.

該提案旨在保護 Meta 的現金儲備免受通貨膨脹的影響，通貨膨脹可能會隨著時間的推移而侵蝕其價值。

"Bitcoin would serve as a hedge against inflation, while also boosting shareholder value," the proposal reads.

該提案寫道：“比特幣將作為對沖通膨的工具，同時也能提高股東價值。”

Peck highlighted the strong performance of Bitcoin in recent years, with a 124% increase in value in 2024 and a 1,265% rise over the last five years, outpacing traditional assets like bonds.

Peck強調了比特幣近年來的強勁表現，其價值在2024年增長了124%，在過去五年中增長了1,265%，超過了債券等傳統資產。

"This would also help Meta achieve its goal of maximizing shareholder value," the proposal adds.

該提案補充道：“這也將有助於 Meta 實現股東價值最大化的目標。”

Peck noted that Meta is already indirectly exposed to cryptocurrency through its second-largest institutional investor, BlackRock (NYSE:BLK), which is invested in Bitcoin.

Peck 指出，Meta 已經透過其第二大機構投資者貝萊德（NYSE：BLK）間接接觸到加密貨幣，貝萊德投資於比特幣。

"BlackRock has backed Bitcoin and recommended companies put 2% of their cash reserves in it. IBIT is the largest Bitcoin exchange-traded fund in the U.S., and it was launched by BlackRock," the proposal noted.

該提案指出：“貝萊德支持比特幣，並建議企業將 2% 的現金儲備投入比特幣。IBIT 是美國最大的比特幣交易所交易基金，由貝萊德推出。”

Other large companies that have shown interest in Bitcoin include Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), which said it would consider accepting the cryptocurrency for payments, and MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR).

其他對比特幣表現出興趣的大公司包括微軟（納斯達克股票代碼：MSFT）和 MicroStrategy（納斯達克股票代碼：MSTR），該公司表示將考慮接受加密貨幣進行支付。

"Later that same year, MicroStrategy’s executive chairman Michael Saylor gave a brief presentation before Microsoft’s board to encourage the company to buy Bitcoin. Saylor is a well-known Bitcoin advocate who believes that tech giants like Microsoft simply can't afford to miss out on the next big tech trend," the proposal noted.

「同年晚些時候，MicroStrategy 執行主席Michael Saylor 在微軟董事會上做了簡短的演講，鼓勵該公司購買比特幣。Saylor 是一位著名的比特幣倡導者，他認為像微軟這樣的科技巨頭根本不能錯過比特幣。

The proposal could lead to a shift in how some of the largest companies handle their cash reserves. Meta's adoption of Bitcoin would add the company to a growing list that views the cryptocurrency as a valuable asset for the future.

該提案可能會導致一些最大的公司處理現金儲備的方式轉變。 Meta 採用比特幣將使該公司加入越來越多的將加密貨幣視為未來寶貴資產的名單中。

Institutions are increasingly exploring cryptocurrencies as a way to hedge against inflation and diversify their portfolios.

機構越來越多地探索加密貨幣作為對沖通膨和實現投資組合多元化的一種方式。

The Consumer Price Index, a measure of inflation, rose at a seven-year high in December. In response, the Federal Reserve has begun raising interest rates.

衡量通膨的消費者物價指數在 12 月升至七年來的最高點。作為回應，聯準會已開始升息。

Rising inflation and interest rates could lead to lower returns on traditional assets like bonds, making cryptocurrencies a more attractive option for institutional investors.

通貨膨脹和利率上升可能會導致債券等傳統資產的回報率下降，從而使加密貨幣成為對機構投資者更具吸引力的選擇。
