Strategy’s Michael Saylor is at it again. His latest X post — “Think Even ₿igger” — has the crypto and equities crowd buzzing about what could be the company’s largest single Bitcoin purchase to date.

The post came just days after Strategy disclosed it bought 13,927 Bitcoin for around $1 billion between April 6 and 12, at an average price of $71,902 per coin.
Saylor has used this playbook before. Each time he posts his now-famous “Orange Dots” chart — which tracks all of Strategy’s Bitcoin purchases — a buying announcement has followed, typically on a Monday.
The pattern held last week. It held the week before that too, when Strategy picked up $330 million worth of BTC.
Analyst Mike Flaum posted on X that the next acquisition could top 40,000 BTC. At current prices, that would put the purchase north of $3 billion.
Strategy’s STRC preferred stock ATM tracker also shows roughly $1.76 billion in available liquidity, which the company typically uses to fund Bitcoin buys.
Strategy currently holds 780,897 BTC in its treasury, worth approximately $58.2 billion. That makes it the largest corporate Bitcoin holder among publicly traded companies by a wide margin.
Semi-Monthly Dividends Proposed
The purchase hints aren’t the only news out of Strategy this week. The company also proposed changing its STRC dividend schedule from monthly to twice a month — on the 15th and at the end of each month — for a total of 24 payments per year at the current 11.5% rate.
CEO Phong Le laid it out plainly in a video presentation to shareholders: demand was dropping off after dividend eligibility dates passed, cooling buying activity and slowing new share sales.
“It should stabilize the price, dampen cyclicality, drive further liquidity and grow demand,” Le said.
The company considered weekly and even daily dividend schedules before landing on semi-monthly. NASDAQ rules require a minimum ten-day gap between record and payment dates, which set the floor.
A preliminary proxy was filed with the SEC on Friday. The definitive filing is expected April 28, when shareholder voting opens. Voting closes June 8 at the annual meeting, with the new schedule potentially starting mid-July if approved.
MSTR Stock and Unrealized Losses
MSTR jumped 11.8% on Friday, closing at $166.52. Despite the single-day pop, the stock is still down more than 47% over the past year.
The Losses Behind the Headlines
Strategy reported $14.46 billion in unrealized losses on its digital asset holdings in its Q1 financial results earlier this month.
Bitcoin is currently trading around $74,877, and the company’s average purchase price across its full stack sits at $75,577 — meaning the treasury is technically underwater at current prices.
As of Sunday, BTC remains in a consolidation phase despite the renewed accumulation signals from Saylor.
