Facebook 母公司 Meta 的一位股东提议对公司的财务战略进行重大转变。

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

Meta（纳斯达克股票代码：META）的一位股东提议该公司使用部分现金储备购买比特币（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.

发生了什么：比特币 YouTuber Tim Kotzman 周二透露，该提案是由国家公共政策研究中心的工作人员 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.

该提案旨在保护 Meta 的现金储备免受通货膨胀的影响，通货膨胀可能会随着时间的推移而侵蚀其价值。

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

该提案写道：“比特币将作为对冲通胀的工具，同时还能提高股东价值。”

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强调了比特币近年来的强劲表现，其价值在2024年增长了124%，在过去五年中增长了1,265%，超过了债券等传统资产。

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

该提案补充道：“这也将有助于 Meta 实现股东价值最大化的目标。”

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 已经通过其第二大机构投资者贝莱德（纽约证券交易所股票代码：BLK）间接接触到加密货币，贝莱德投资于比特币。

"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.

该提案指出：“贝莱德支持比特币，并建议企业将 2% 的现金储备投入比特币。IBIT 是美国最大的比特币交易所交易基金，由贝莱德推出。”

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).

其他对比特币表现出兴趣的大公司包括微软（纳斯达克股票代码：MSFT）和 MicroStrategy（纳斯达克股票代码：MSTR），该公司表示将考虑接受加密货币进行支付。

"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.

“同年晚些时候，MicroStrategy 执行主席 Michael Saylor 在微软董事会上做了简短的演讲，鼓励该公司购买比特币。Saylor 是一位著名的比特币倡导者，他认为像微软这样的科技巨头根本不能错过比特币。下一个重大科技趋势，”该提案指出。

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.

该提案可能会导致一些最大的公司处理现金储备的方式发生转变。 Meta 采用比特币将使该公司加入到越来越多的将加密货币视为未来宝贵资产的名单中。
