微軟股東將於 2024 年 12 月 10 日年會上就投資比特幣的提案進行投票

這項名為「比特幣投資評估」的提案引起了科技界和金融界的極大興趣和辯論。

Microsoft shareholders will vote on a proposal to invest in Bitcoin at the company’s annual meeting on December 10. The proposal, titled “Assessment of Investing in Bitcoin,” was put forth by the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), a conservative think tank.

微軟股東將在 12 月 10 日的公司年會上對一項投資比特幣的提案進行投票。 。

The proposal argues that Bitcoin could serve as an excellent hedge against inflation and suggests that Microsoft should allocate at least 1% of its total assets to the cryptocurrency.

該提案認為，比特幣可以作為對抗通貨膨脹的絕佳對沖工具，並建議微軟應將其總資產的至少 1% 分配給加密貨幣。

The NCPPR highlights Bitcoin’s impressive performance, noting that it has outperformed corporate bonds by 94% over the past year and by 411% over the past five years.

NCPPR 強調了比特幣令人印象深刻的表現，指出它的表現在過去一年中比公司債高出 94%，在過去五年中高出 411%。

However, Microsoft’s board of directors has advised shareholders to oppose the proposal. The board cites the volatility of Bitcoin as a primary concern, emphasizing the need for stable and predictable investments to ensure liquidity and operational funding.

然而，微軟董事會已建議股東反對該提案。董事會將比特幣的波動性作為主要關注點，強調需要穩定且可預測的投資，以確保流動性和營運資金。

The board also asserts that the company already evaluates a wide range of investable assets, including Bitcoin, and continues to monitor trends and developments in the cryptocurrency market.

董事會還聲稱，該公司已經評估了包括比特幣在內的多種可投資資產，並繼續監控加密貨幣市場的趨勢和發展。

The proposal comes amid growing institutional interest in Bitcoin. Notably, BlackRock, Microsoft’s second-largest shareholder with a 5.7% stake, has recently made substantial investments in Bitcoin through its iShares Bitcoin ETF.

該提議是在機構對比特幣興趣日益濃厚的情況下提出的。值得注意的是，持有微軟5.7%股份的第二大股東貝萊德最近透過其iShares比特幣ETF對比特幣進行了大量投資。

This move by BlackRock has sparked discussion about the role of cryptocurrencies in corporate investment strategies. Microsoft’s decision to include this proposal on the agenda reflects the broader trend of increasing institutional interest in digital currencies.

貝萊德的這一舉動引發了有關加密貨幣在企業投資策略中的作用的討論。微軟決定將該提案列入議程反映了機構對數位貨幣興趣日益增加的更廣泛趨勢。

The outcome of the vote could set a precedent for other tech giants considering similar investments. As the December 10 meeting approaches, the decision will be closely watched by Microsoft and its shareholders, and could have far-reaching implications for the adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the corporate world.

投票結果可能為其他考慮類似投資的科技巨頭樹立先例。隨著 12 月 10 日會議的臨近，這項決定將受到微軟及其股東的密切關注，並可能對企業界採用比特幣和其他加密貨幣產生深遠的影響。
