Tonight is a big night! Microsoft will decide whether to invest in BTC, a huge positive signal is coming soon?

The senior management holds a position of opposition, and the fate of the BTC asset proposal is uncertain.

On December 10th, US time, Microsoft will hold a shareholder meeting to discuss the proposal to include Bitcoin in the company's balance sheet, which is about to be voted on. This decision is seen as one of the most topical events in the encryption currency market recently, because if Microsoft ultimately chooses to increase its holdings of Bitcoin, it will be another leading international company to officially "endorse" BTC after technology and financial giants such as Tesla and MicroStrategy, which will inevitably have a huge impact on the market and mainstream awareness.

According to the documents submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the United States, the proposal for "Evaluating BTC Investment" was put forward by the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), a conservative think tank in the United States. NCPPR argues that in an era of high inflation, companies should consider allocating some funds to BTC because BTC may become the "best hedge tool" against Inflation. The group recommends that Microsoft allocate at least 1% of its assets to BTC to help prevent the erosion of corporate funds by currency depreciation.

However, the Microsoft board has clearly stated its opposition to the proposal, believing that the company's asset allocation strategy should remain conservative and predictable. The board emphasized that Microsoft's investment portfolio already includes a variety of investment vehicles and defensive assets, and does not believe it is necessary to include BTC, which has high volatility and speculative nature. At the same time, Microsoft's co-founder Bill Gates has publicly opposed BTC many times in the past, emphasizing its lack of intrinsic value, which is consistent with the conservative position of the company's top management.

Supporters actively lobby for the financial whale and the new market trend

Despite the lack of support from senior management, BTC advocates behind the scenes have not given up their efforts. NCPPR argues that with BTC breaking the $100,000 mark and receiving support from US President-elect Donald Trump and TSL CEO Elon Musk, the crypto market is moving towards mainstream assets. If Microsoft joins the ranks at this time, it can not only create potential returns for shareholders but also boost confidence in the market.

In the support camp, well-known encryption asset giant MicroStrategy is both a pioneer and an example. According to the data from Bitcoin Treasuries, its huge holdings reached 423,650 BTC, with a market cap of about 40.97 billion US dollars, accounting for about 2% of the overall BTC supply. MicroStrategy's long-term increase in BTC is seen as a paradigm of enterprises incorporating digital gold into asset allocation. At the same time, investment professionals and analysts also try to persuade Microsoft's decision-makers through various channels, citing bullish factors such as improvements in BTC regulatory environment and global macroeconomic uncertainty, encouraging Microsoft shareholders to break through traditional thinking.

The voting results affect the market, with stability and conservatism confronting emerging trends

Although exchanges and market indicators indicate that new funds and retail investors are expecting a 'bombshell' from Microsoft, Polymarket's betting market estimates that the probability of the proposal being approved is only about 14%, suggesting that the market generally remains pessimistic about Microsoft's ability to make a major turnaround.

However, even if the proposal is rejected this time, it is not enough to change the increasingly mainstream long-term trend of the encryption industry. Many analysts believe that regardless of Microsoft's attitude this time, as the price and awareness of BTC continue to rise, more and more giant companies may re-evaluate the positioning and value of digital assets in the future.

If the proposal miraculously passes, the market impact may be self-evident. According to MacroTrends data, Microsoft currently holds $78.4 billion in cash and short-term investments, enough to boost the BTC market and market heat in the short term. Investors in encryption will closely follow this historic moment, and the choices of Microsoft shareholders and the board of directors will also become a key case for the interaction between digital assets and traditional enterprises in the next stage.

Regardless of the outcome, today's vote symbolizes the deeper integration of digital currency into traditional corporate governance industries. Whether Microsoft ultimately embraces Bitcoin will determine its future direction at this moment.
