Macroeconomic Environment

Microsoft shareholders reject Bitcoin investment proposal

Recently, a proposal to invest 1% of Microsoft's total assets in Bitcoin was rejected at the company's shareholders' meeting. The proposal was put forward by a research center and aimed at hedging inflation risk. Despite the founder of MicroStrategy actively lobbying and emphasizing the investment potential of Bitcoin, shareholders ultimately chose to follow the board's recommendation and remained cautious about this high-risk investment. This decision reflects the conservative stance of mainstream institutional investors towards the cryptocurrency market.

MicroStrategy is expected to join the Nasdaq 100 index.

According to reports, MicroStrategy is expected to officially become a member of the Nasdaq 100 index on December 23. Analysts predict that ETFs tracking the index may purchase approximately $2.1 billion in MicroStrategy shares, equivalent to one-fifth of the company's daily trading volume. MicroStrategy could become the 40th largest constituent in the index, with a weight of about 0.47%. If this news is confirmed, it will attract more institutional investors' attention to the company.

Although the market cap briefly reached $1.2 billion after launch, it quickly fell back. The future development of the project will still rely on its unique community culture and ongoing marketing efforts.
