Shareholders propose Bitcoin investment: Amazon shareholders, led by NCPPR, propose investing part of its 88 billion USD cash reserves in Bitcoin. They see it as a hedge against inflation, estimated by NCPPR at around 10%. Bitcoin’s past performance against traditional assets supports their argument.
Critics worry about Amazon’s debt: Despite the interest in Bitcoin, critics highlight Amazon’s 67 billion USD debt and 87 billion USD lease commitments. These financial obligations raise concerns about the feasibility of such an investment. The discussion is expected to be a KEY topic at Amazon’s 2025 shareholder meeting.
