Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor posted "Think Even ₿igger" on X this Sunday, accompanied by a chart of the company's historical BTC purchases, which the market interprets as an announcement of a new round of accumulation coming this week. Meanwhile, Strategy proposed this week to change the dividend frequency of STRC preferred shares from monthly to semi-monthly (24 times per year), while maintaining an annualized dividend yield of 11.5%. (Context: Michael Saylor launched a poll on whether BTC will break $100,000 by the end of the year: over 85% agreed, hinting that Strategy will increase its holdings again.) (Background: Michael Saylor: A 45% Bitcoin retracement is like the "Valley of Despair" that Apple once went through.) Late Sunday, Saylor posted only six words on X: "Think Even ₿igger," along with a complete chart of Strategy's BTC purchase history from 2020 to the present—his customary way of providing a teaser. A week ago, he used "Think ₿igger" to announce a nearly $1 billion accumulation, after which Strategy announced the purchase of 13,927 BTC at an average price of $71,902. The market has learned to read this code: a scaled-up version of the post implies a scaled-up version of buying pressure is imminent.

Combined with the timing, the market expects Strategy to announce its latest holdings this Monday (4/20) and potentially update its total holdings to 807,274 BTC. Currently, Strategy holds 780,897 BTC on its balance sheet, valued at approximately $58.2 billion according to Bitbo data. It is already the largest Bitcoin holder among publicly traded companies globally and the most frequent regular buyer in the market. MSTR stock rose 11.8% on Friday, closing at $166.52, with market sentiment clearly heating up due to the anticipated buying. Saylor has built more than just a Bitcoin portfolio for Strategy; he has created a financing machine that continuously supplies ammunition. This week, Strategy filed a preliminary proxy with the SEC (dated 4/17), proposing to change the dividend frequency of STRC preferred shares from once a month to semi-monthly—paying on the 15th and the end of each month, for a total of 24 times a year, while keeping the 11.5% annualized dividend yield unchanged. CEO Phong Le explained the core motivation for the change in a shareholder video presentation: "Once the dividend date passes, the number of eligible investors drops sharply, buying pressure cools immediately, and the pace of new share sales slows down." He observed that this cyclical demand gap is a structural flaw of the monthly dividend system, and semi-monthly payments can compress this interval by half, allowing market demand to be distributed more evenly. Strategy is proposing to pay semi-monthly dividends on $STRC, instead of monthly. No change to the annual dividend obligations or dividend rate. These proposed changes are intended to stabilize price, dampen cyclicality, drive liquidity, and grow demand. pic.twitter.com/jHFRaDz6oP — Michael Saylor (@saylor) April 17, 2026 Le pointed out that if shareholders vote to approve, STRC will become the world's only preferred stock to adopt semi-monthly dividends—"This is a unique and attractive positioning." The company considered weekly or even daily payments when designing the plan, but NASDAQ rules require at least 10 days between the ex-dividend date and the payment date, making semi-monthly payments the best option to balance attractiveness and compliance. Strategy's continuous accumulation is not without cost. Q1 financial reports show an unrealized loss of $14.46 billion on digital assets—a figure reflecting the impact of Bitcoin's retracement during that season on the valuation of its holdings. Despite a strong rebound on Friday, MSTR stock has fallen more than 47% over the past year, significantly underperforming Bitcoin itself. At the same time, the change in STRC dividend frequency reveals a signal: the existing monthly dividend mechanism has indeed shown cracks in maintaining demand, as investors have not been absorbing new shares as continuously and stably as Strategy expected. This proposal is essentially a repair of the structural weaknesses of its financing tool, rather than a simple optimization. The logic Strategy has built around Bitcoin has never changed: use capital market tools (preferred shares, convertible bonds)
