Microsoft lists "Evaluation of Bitcoin Investment" as a voting item for the December shareholders meeting

Documents submitted by Microsoft to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) show that a vote on "evaluating investment in Bitcoin" will be held at the shareholders' meeting on December 10th. The proposal was put forward by the conservative think tank National Center for Public Policy Research, but Microsoft's board of directors recommends shareholders to vote against it. The board believes that this proposal is "unnecessary", stating that company management has already given ample consideration to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and will continue monitoring related trends to inform decision-making in the future.
