Earlier News, Microsoft Listed The Issues To Be Discussed At The Next Shareholders' Meeting In A Filing With The US SEC. One Of The Proposals Suggested That The Company Study Bitcoin To Hedge Against Inflation And Other Macroeconomic Impacts. The Documents Show That Microsoft's Board Of Directors Recommended That Shareholders Vote Against The Proposal And Said That Microsoft Had "carefully Considered The Issue." The Statement Said: "Past Evaluations Have Considered Bitcoin And Other Cryptocurrencies As Options, And Microsoft Will Continue To Monitor Trends And Developments Related To Cryptocurrencies To Inform Future Decisions. As The Proposal Itself Points Out, Volatility Is A Consideration In Evaluating Cryptocurrency Investments, Which Require Stable And Predictable Investments For Corporate Financial Applications To Ensure Liquidity And Working Capital. Microsoft Has Developed Strong And Appropriate Processes To Manage And Diversify Its Corporate Finances For The Long-term Benefit Of Shareholders, And This Requirement For Public Evaluation Is Unreasonable."
