QCP: Microsoft's shareholder vote to decide whether to include Bitcoin on its balance sheet could be a catalyst for Bitcoin to break through $100,000
ChainCatcher news, QCP released its daily outlook stating that Bitcoin briefly touched $98,000 during the Thanksgiving holiday, driven by Michael Saylor showcasing his Bitcoin investment strategy to Microsoft. Microsoft's shareholders are set to vote on December 10 whether to include Bitcoin on its balance sheet.
Major Microsoft shareholders, such as Vanguard, BlackRock, and Fidelity, have gained exposure to cryptocurrencies by investing in MSTR, Coinbase, and other crypto companies. One might argue that they already have sufficient exposure. However, if the proposal passes, it would not only benefit Bitcoin but also positively impact their other investments.
While waiting for Microsoft's decision next week, U.S. employment and labor data will again be in the spotlight this week. ISM manufacturing data and PMI data are scheduled for release on Monday and Wednesday, respectively. However, the focus of the week will be on Friday's non-farm payroll data. The market will closely monitor this week's reports to better gauge inflation trends, especially ahead of the interest rate decision on December 17-18.
