Important takeaways
- One proposal calls for Meta to add Bitcoin to its corporate treasury, similar to proposals made to Microsoft and Amazon.
- The advocacy points to Bitcoin’s successful adoption by companies like MicroStrategy and its potential as a hedge against inflation.
Ethan Peck, an employee of the National Center for Public Policy Research, has submitted a Bitcoin Treasury Shareholder Proposal to Meta on behalf of his family’s shares.
As shared by Tim Jotzman, a consulting businessman and Bitcoin advocate, the initiative was lifted in a posts on X.
The National Center, a Washington-based think tank, has actively encouraged companies to consider Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty.
In December 2024, its Free Enterprise Project presented a proposal at Microsoft’s annual shareholder meeting, asking the company to evaluate Bitcoin’s potential as a financial asset.
This proposal received notable attention, with MicroStrategy Chairman Michael Saylor publicly supporting the initiative and emphasizing Bitcoin’s inflation-resistant properties.
Similarly, the National Center submitted a Bitcoin Treasury proposal to Amazon, recommending that the company allocate 5% of its assets to Bitcoin.
The proposal highlighted Bitcoin’s superior performance compared to traditional corporate bonds, emphasizing its potential to protect corporate coffers against currency depreciation.
With the filing to Meta, the National Center continues its advocacy, underscoring Bitcoin’s verifiable fixed supply and its growing recognition as a strategic asset among institutional investors.
The proposal cites examples of corporate adoption, such as MicroStrategy, along with recent developments such as the growing traction of BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF.
The proposal is also consistent with Meta’s forward-thinking history of adopting cutting-edge technologies.
“Meta has the opportunity to lead the company’s Bitcoin adoption movement, demonstrating its commitment to innovation and financial resilience,” the filing said.
The National Center’s proposal is part of a broader trend in which institutional investors and activists are championing Bitcoin as a financial asset.
Companies like MicroStrategy have set benchmarks for integrating Bitcoin into their financial strategies, with their stock outperforming the market by 2,191% over the past five years, according to figures shared in the proposal.
If Meta considers this proposal, it would join a growing list of companies exploring the potential of Bitcoin to diversify and protect their treasuries.
