Is McDonalds Going to Invest in Bitcoin?
A proposal submitted by the National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative think tank, will not be included in the fast-food giants upcoming shareholder meeting agenda despite its bold claims.
Think Tank Pushes for BTC on Balance Sheet
The groups proposal urged McDonalds to consider Bitcoin over traditional real estate holdings, arguing that the cryptocurrency offers superior appreciation potential and liquidity. The think tank cited a quote from former McDonalds President Harry Sonneborn, who once said the company was not in the hamburger business but in the real estate business.
Their argument? If McDonalds is serious about long-term capital appreciation, it should treat Bitcoin the way it has historically treated real estate as a strategic reserve.
More companies are adopting Bitcoin as a treasury asset, the group warned. If McDonalds doesnt keep up, it could fall behind its peers.
SEC Sides with McDonalds
Despite the enthusiasm behind the proposal, McDonalds management wasnt on board. The company contacted the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for guidance, requesting permission to exclude the proposal from its shareholder agenda. The SEC agreed, stating that the matter falls under routine business operations and doesnt warrant shareholder input.
The ruling effectively blocks the proposal from being discussed at the 2025 shareholder meeting.
