Microsoft's shareholders rejected a proposal to allocate 1% of its $78 billion cash reserves into Bitcoin. The company's board cited Bitcoin's volatility and the need for liquidity and stability as reasons to steer clear of the cryptocurrency. While some companies like MicroStrategy and Tesla have embraced Bitcoin, Microsoft's decision reflects caution among corporations due to regulatory concerns and market unpredictability. The rejection had minimal impact on Microsoft's stock price, but Bitcoin's value dropped over 4% following the news, emphasizing its dependence on corporate perception. While critics argue that Microsoft is missing out on potential gains, the decision reinforces Bitcoin's independent and decentralized nature.
