Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor is signaling another large Bitcoin acquisition shortly after the company finalized a $1 billion purchase earlier this month. The move comes as Strategy continues to expand its corporate Bitcoin holdings and proposes changes to its dividend schedule aimed at improving liquidity and investor demand.
In a Sunday post on X, Saylor shared a chart of the company’s historical buying patterns with the caption “Think Even ₿igger.” The post followed a regulatory filing last Monday in which Strategy disclosed it had purchased 13,927 Bitcoin between April 6 and April 12 for $1 billion, at an average price of $71,902 per token.
Strategy is currently the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin among publicly traded firms, with 780,897 coins valued at roughly $58.2 billion.
On Friday, Strategy CEO Phong Le outlined a proposal to shift the company toward a semi-monthly dividend schedule. Under the plan, dividends would be paid on the 15th and at the end of every month.
Le said increasing the payment frequency to 24 times per year at the current 11.5% rate is intended to attract more consistent buying interest. He added that the company expects the change to “stabilize the price, dampen cyclicality, drive further liquidity and grow demand.”
According to Le, the current dividend structure can lead to reduced activity after investors are no longer eligible for the next scheduled payout. He said moving to a semi-monthly model would make Strategy the only preferred stock with such frequent distributions.
The proposal arrives as Strategy reports significant paper losses. Its first-quarter financial results showed unrealized losses on digital assets totaling $14.46 billion.
Despite the losses, investors responded positively to the dividend news and the prospect of additional Bitcoin purchases. MSTR stock rose 11.8% to $166.52 on Friday.
A preliminary proxy filing has been submitted to the SEC, and a definitive version is expected by April 28. If shareholders approve the measure at the annual meeting on June 8, the new payment cycle would begin in mid-July.
Strategy also noted that Nasdaq rules require a 10-day window between the record date and the actual payment.
