MicroStrategy executive chairman Michael Saylor's pitch to Microsoft's board to add bitcoin to its balance sheet is unlikely to be approved by shareholders, according to Polymarket bettors. In October, a proposal recommended Microsoft to invest in bitcoin, but the board advised against it, citing crypto's lack of stability. Saylor argues that adding bitcoin could act as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty. Some bettors believe there is no need for institutional investors to want Microsoft to add bitcoin, while others speculate that the company may allocate a small amount of funds for testing. The motion will be voted on at Microsoft's next shareholder meeting on December 10.
