Main page News, Facebook, Bitcoin

Meta shareholders have overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to study the possibility of including Bitcoin on the company's balance sheet.

According to a document filed on May 28, only 0.08% of votes (3.92 million) supported the idea, while nearly 5 billion opposed it.

Given that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg controls 61% of the votes, he likely voted against the measure.

The proposal, submitted in January by Bitcoin advocate Ethan Peck, urged Meta to allocate part of its $72 billion cash reserves to Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation.

Peck, director of Bitcoin at wealth management firm Strive, argued that holding cash erodes shareholder value due to inflation.

He also cited BlackRock's suggestion that a 2% allocation to Bitcoin would be reasonable.
