Strategy CEO Michael Saylor has cryptocurrency markets on high alert once more. His recent social media message — “Think Even ₿igger” — has sparked intense speculation that the firm is preparing its most substantial Bitcoin acquisition yet.
The cryptic message arrived mere days following Strategy’s announcement that it had secured 13,927 Bitcoin worth approximately $1 billion during the April 6–12 period, with each coin averaging $71,902.
This isn’t Saylor’s first rodeo with such teasers. History shows that whenever he shares his signature “Orange Dots” visualization — documenting Strategy’s complete Bitcoin purchasing history — an official acquisition announcement typically follows within days, usually landing on Monday.
The sequence repeated itself last week. Before that, it played out identically when Strategy secured $330 million in BTC the previous week.
Financial analyst Mike Flaum suggested via X that Strategy’s forthcoming acquisition could involve more than 40,000 BTC. Based on today’s valuation, such a transaction would exceed $3 billion.
Strategy’s STRC preferred stock ATM monitoring system indicates approximately $1.76 billion in accessible capital, which the corporation regularly deploys for Bitcoin acquisitions.
Currently, Strategy maintains 780,897 BTC within its corporate reserves, representing roughly $58.2 billion in value. This position establishes the company as the preeminent corporate Bitcoin holder among all publicly traded entities.
Twice-Monthly Dividend Structure Under Consideration
Beyond purchase speculation, Strategy unveiled another significant development this week. The organization has submitted a proposal to modify its STRC dividend distribution from once monthly to twice per month — specifically on the 15th and month-end — creating 24 annual payments at the existing 11.5% rate.
CEO Phong Le addressed the rationale directly in a shareholder video presentation: investor interest traditionally declined following dividend eligibility cutoff dates, which dampened purchasing momentum and restricted new share issuance.
“It should stabilize the price, dampen cyclicality, drive further liquidity and grow demand,” Le said.
Before settling on the semi-monthly structure, the company evaluated both weekly and daily dividend alternatives. However, NASDAQ regulations mandate a minimum ten-day interval between record dates and payment dates, establishing practical constraints.
Strategy submitted a preliminary proxy statement to the SEC on Friday. The final documentation is anticipated April 28, when shareholder balloting commences. The voting period concludes June 8 during the annual shareholder assembly, with the revised schedule potentially taking effect mid-July upon approval.
MSTR Stock Performance and Asset Valuation
MSTR experienced an 11.8% surge Friday, settling at $166.52. Nevertheless, despite the impressive single-session gain, shares remain depressed by over 47% compared to twelve months ago.
Understanding the Financial Reality
Strategy disclosed $14.46 billion in unrealized deficits on its digital asset portfolio in its first-quarter earnings release earlier this month.
Bitcoin currently trades near $74,877, while the company’s aggregate purchase price across its entire holdings stands at $75,577 — indicating the treasury operates at a slight loss based on present market conditions.
As of Sunday, BTC continues trading within a consolidation range despite fresh accumulation indicators from Saylor.
