Deep dives

Microsoft's Potential Bitcoin Investment

Microsoft is considering adding Bitcoin to its balance sheet, a decision to be evaluated by its board on December 10th. The move could see the tech giant potentially invest its $105 billion cash reserves into Bitcoin, prompting other major corporations to follow suit due to fear of missing out. This would not only challenge traditional stock holders' views but could also trigger a significant shift in public and corporate attitudes towards Bitcoin. With increasing popularity among public companies, including 130 already holding Bitcoin, the financial landscape may be on the brink of transformation.
