Amazon Shareholders Suggest Bitcoin Investment for Inflation Hedge

The National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) has proposed that Amazon consider investing in Bitcoin to hedge against inflation and diversify its assets.

A Hedge Against Inflation

NCPPR has suggested Amazon protect its substantial $88 billion reserves, part of which are in bonds, by investing in Bitcoin. Analysts argue that traditional assets are vulnerable to inflation, which they believe is underestimated by the current Consumer Price Index measure. In contrast, Bitcoin has shown significant growth over recent years, making it an attractive option for safeguarding shareholder capital.

Corporate Bitcoin Adoption

The NCPPR proposal draws comparisons between Amazon and other major companies like MicroStrategy and Tesla that have already incorporated Bitcoin into their strategies. MicroStrategy has witnessed significant success, evidenced by its stock performance surpassing that of Amazon. Additionally, Amazon's two largest institutional shareholders, BlackRock and Fidelity, already offer Bitcoin-based funds to their clients.

The Next Steps for Amazon

Should Amazon's board decide to put the proposal to a shareholder vote, this would take place at the annual meeting in April 2025. If approved, the company might start with a small Bitcoin allocation, marking a cautious foray into this new asset management strategy. Amazon has not yet formally responded to NCPPR's proposal, though it has shown interest in blockchain technology for supply chain management.

An investment in Bitcoin could herald a new chapter for Amazon's asset management, especially given the growing institutional interest in cryptocurrencies.
