Michael Saylor knows how to keep investors on their toes.
This past Sunday, the executive chairman of Strategy posted the company’s well-known Bitcoin acquisition tracking chart on X, accompanied by the caption “A good time to add more dots.” Market participants have learned to interpret these cryptic messages as advance notice of upcoming BTC purchases.
Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings currently stand at 843,706 coins, purchased at a blended average price of $75,701 per unit. With Bitcoin hovering near $62,153 as of this writing — representing a decline of approximately 16.6% over the previous week — any fresh acquisition would probably land below that average entry point.
CEO Phong Le directly addressed Saylor’s post, stating: “Our corporate @Strategy is to increase net Bitcoin and Bitcoin per share over time. Rumors otherwise are just rumors.” The two executives seemed to be working in tandem to control the narrative following a turbulent week.
That turbulence began when Strategy revealed it had liquidated 32 Bitcoin — representing approximately $2.5 million — during the latter part of May. This marked the firm’s first Bitcoin sale since 2022. Though minimal compared to its massive 843,000+ coin holdings, the transaction unnerved shareholders who have grown accustomed to Strategy’s unwavering buy-and-hold approach.
The sale triggered speculation about whether the organization might face pressure to liquidate additional Bitcoin to satisfy dividend commitments or address cash flow requirements should prices continue declining.
Executive Share Disposals Intensify Scrutiny
Those worries intensified on Friday when Securities and Exchange Commission documents showed that two top executives are preparing to divest approximately $15 million in MSTR shares. CEO Phong Le’s filing indicates plans to sell around $11.1 million, while CFO Andrew Kang’s filing shows about $3.9 million. Both disposals correspond with recently matured stock compensation awards.
The optics — coinciding with Bitcoin’s plunge beneath $60,000 for the first time since October 2024 — attracted scrutiny, despite the sales being standard practice for executive vesting cycles.
Additionally last week, Strategy disclosed it had bought back portions of its outstanding corporate bonds, which momentarily halted Bitcoin accumulation activities. This development briefly alarmed traders concerned that the company might need to liquidate BTC holdings to finance the debt repurchases.
Preferred Dividend Schedule Modification Up for Vote
In parallel, Strategy stockholders are currently deciding whether to modify the dividend distribution frequency for its STRC preferred shares from monthly to bimonthly payments. Management argues the adjustment would minimize reinvestment delays and enhance share price consistency.
“It should decrease the volatility by some decent factor,” Saylor explained during the Synergy26 conference last week. “It provides more entry and exit points.”
Approval requires affirmative votes from 50% of all 85 million outstanding STRC shares as recorded on April 17, 2026. Results are anticipated at Monday’s annual shareholder gathering.
Historical data from Harvard Law School Corporate Governance studies conducted in November indicates that retail shareholders typically cast votes representing only 29% of their holdings during proxy seasons, while institutional investors participate at a 77% rate.
Any announcement regarding a new Bitcoin acquisition is anticipated to arrive on Monday.
