Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has hinted at another major Bitcoin purchase, just a week after the company revealed it bought roughly $1 billion worth of BTC in early April.
Strategy disclosed last Monday that it acquired 13,927 Bitcoin between April 6 and 12 at an average price of $71,902 per coin, following Saylor’s earlier “Think ₿igger” teaser ahead of the filing.
On Sunday, Saylor posted “Think Even ₿igger” on X alongside a chart of the company’s Bitcoin acquisition history — a move he has frequently used in the past to signal an upcoming purchase announcement.
The teaser comes only days after Strategy proposed increasing the frequency of dividend payouts to shareholders, aiming to stabilize its stock price and boost investor demand.
In a video presentation shared with shareholders, Phong Le said Strategy plans to introduce semi-monthly dividend payments — on the 15th and at the end of each month — totaling 24 payouts annually at the current 11.5% rate.
Le said the move is aimed at stabilizing the stock price, reducing volatility, improving liquidity and boosting investor demand.
The company submitted a preliminary proxy filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, with the final filing expected on April 28 when voting opens. Shareholders will have until June 8, during the annual meeting, to approve or reject the proposal. If passed, the new dividend schedule is expected to take effect in mid-July.
Phong Le said the proposed dividend change is partly aimed at countering a drop in demand that typically follows dividend record dates, when investors are no longer eligible for the next payout. This often cools buying activity and slows new share issuance.
“If we move forward with semi-monthly payouts, we would be the only preferred in the world doing so. We think that’s both unique and attractive,” Le added.
Strategy explored multiple structures before settling on the semi-monthly model, including weekly and even daily record dates. However, Nasdaq rules require at least a 10-day gap between a record date and its corresponding payment date, limiting how frequently dividends can be issued.
Strategy remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with around 780,897 BTC worth roughly $58.2 billion, according to Bitbo. It also continues to be one of the most active buyers, regularly adding to its holdings on a weekly basis.
The company’s stock (MSTR) rose 11.8% on Friday to $166.52, though it remains down more than 47% over the past year, based on data from Google Finance.
This ongoing Bitcoin accumulation comes despite significant unrealized losses. Earlier this month, Strategy reported in its first-quarter results that it was sitting on approximately $14.46 billion in unrealized losses tied to its digital asset holdings.
