Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has signaled a possible additional large Bitcoin purchase a week after the company reported buying about $1 billion of BTC in early April.
The company disclosed it acquired 13,927 Bitcoin for $1 billion between April 6 and 12, at an average price of $71,902 per coin, and Saylor posted “Think ₿igger” ahead of that filing. On Sunday he posted “Think Even ₿igger” alongside a chart of Strategy’s purchase history — a move he has used previously to hint at further buys.
The signal comes days after Strategy proposed changing its dividend schedule to pay shareholders twice a month — on the 15th and at month-end — totaling 24 payments a year at the current annual rate of 11.5%. In a video presentation shared by Saylor, CEO Phong Le said the semi-monthly plan is intended to stabilize the stock price, dampen cyclicality, drive liquidity and increase demand.
A preliminary proxy was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday; the definitive proxy is expected April 28, when voting opens. Shareholders will vote on the proposal through the annual meeting, with voting closing June 8. If approved, the semi-monthly schedule would begin around mid-July.
Le explained the change aims to address drops in demand after investors become ineligible for a pending dividend, which cools buying activity and slows new share sales. The company considered many options, including weekly and daily record dates, but noted NASDAQ rules require at least a ten-day gap between a record date and payment date.
Strategy holds the largest Bitcoin treasury among publicly traded firms — 780,897 BTC, valued at about $58.2 billion per Bitbo — and is a frequent buyer with regular weekly purchases. Strategy’s stock (MSTR) rose 11.8% on Friday to $166.52, though it remains down more than 47% over the past year. The company’s aggressive accumulation continues despite significant unrealized digital-asset losses, which it reported as $14.46 billion in first-quarter results.
