US-based strategic Bitcoin investment company Strategy has signaled intentions to expand its cryptocurrency holdings. Company chairman Michael Saylor hinted on Sunday via a social media post that Strategy would continue its Bitcoin purchases throughout the upcoming week. Saylor’s comments were accompanied by charts tracking the company’s six-year Bitcoin investment journey, a pattern typically seen ahead of major buying sprees by the firm.
Renewed Bitcoin acquisition plans
Strategy currently holds a total of 818,869 Bitcoins, with a market value hovering around $67.2 billion. According to data from CryptoAppsy, this valuation is based on a price of $77,996.91 per Bitcoin. Over recent years, Strategy’s aggressive buying strategy has placed it at the forefront of institutional Bitcoin holders worldwide.
Michael Saylor’s latest post featured the phrase “Big Dot Energy,” which many interpreted as a signal for further accumulation of Bitcoin. These kinds of messages, shared by Saylor on X (formerly Twitter), have often been precursors to fresh buying activity. As a result, market watchers expect that Strategy could make significant additions to its portfolio in the coming days.
Dividend policy for STRC shareholders
Alongside acquisition signals, Strategy’s management is also considering a new dividend proposal. The company is set to vote on allowing holders of its perpetual preferred shares, listed under the STRC ticker, to receive dividends twice per month instead of the current monthly schedule. This adjustment is expected to enhance cash flow for investors.
Official announcements through the company’s social media stressed that 80% of STRC shares are held by individual investors. Company communications emphasized that support from this group is crucial for the vote, and that the new dividend arrangement would directly benefit these retail shareholders.
“If you’re an STRC shareholder and haven’t voted yet, now is the time to make your voice heard. Together, we can establish the $100 Digital Credit standard,” Michael Saylor declared in his message on X.
In its own statement, Strategy reiterated its appeal to all STRC investors: “80% of STRC is held by individuals. This change is for you. Cast your vote for semi-monthly dividends—your voice matters.”
Voting process and investor engagement
Ahead of the proxy voting process set for June 8, Strategy’s management has launched a series of outreach campaigns to mobilize investors. Over the past three weeks, both executives and official channels have underscored the importance of participation. According to data from the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance published last November, individual shareholders historically have low turnout; over the past five votes, retail investors represented only 29% of share-based votes, while institutional investors participated at a 77% rate.
To increase transparency and engagement, the company will hold an online Q&A session featuring CEO Phong Le and chairman Michael Saylor on May 20. The event will be moderated by Natalie Brunell, host of the Coin Stories podcast. Shareholders can submit their questions ahead of the session.
With its vast holdings, Strategy stands as one of the world’s leading institutional Bitcoin investors. Its expanding portfolio and Bitcoin-focused financial products continue to shape the behavior of institutional players in the cryptocurrency market.
