Crypto Stocks Climb Premarket; Microsoft, Amazon Investors Eye Bitcoin Investments Amid MicroStrategy's Success

Tiger Newspress

Dec 10, 2024

Crypto stocks gained in premarket trading. MicroStrategy rose 3%; CleanSpark, Coinbase, Riot Platforms rose 2.5%; Mara Holdings, Bitfarms rose 1%.

Investors in Microsoft and Amazon.com are evaluating proposals to invest in Bitcoin following the notable gains achieved by MicroStrategy through its bitcoin strategy.

Microsoft shareholders are set to vote on Dec. 10 on a proposal to consider bitcoin as a balance sheet asset. The proposal, supported by the National Center for Public Policy Research, recommends holding at least 1% of assets in bitcoin, citing its potential as an inflation hedge, Business Insider reported on Tuesday.

Similarly, a proposal has been made for Amazon to allocate 5% of its assets to bitcoin, highlighting bitcoin's impressive 1,246% price increase over the past five years, which has outperformed corporate bonds.

Despite these suggestions, Microsoft's board has advised against the proposal, stressing the importance of maintaining stability in corporate treasury holdings. The board believes that their current processes are sufficient for ensuring long-term shareholder value.

Meanwhile, MicroStrategy's CEO, Michael Saylor, has presented to Microsoft's board, advocating for potential market value growth through bitcoin investment. However, the betting site Polymarket suggests only a 13% likelihood of shareholder approval for Microsoft's Bitcoin evaluation.
