Michael Saylor signaled on social media that Strategy is on the verge of announcing another Bitcoin purchase, posting a chart of the company’s full BTC buying history with noticeably larger circles marking recent acquisitions. The timing matters: Strategy already executed a record single-day buy exceeding $1 billion in BTC just before the tease, and with $2.25 billion in cash reserved, the scale of what comes next is the only open question. Simultaneously, the company, formerly MicroStrategy and now the largest corporate Bitcoin holder on the planet, floated a proposal to convert its STRC preferred stock from monthly to semi-monthly dividend payments, a structural capital markets refinement that analysts say could significantly broaden institutional demand for the instrument.

Dividend proposal: Strategy is floating semi-monthly payments for its STRC preferred stock, with shareholder voting closing June 8, 2026; first record date June 30, first payment July 15. STRC mechanics: Annualized yield stays fixed at 11.5%; switching to twice-monthly payments targets halved ex-dividend drawdowns, tighter liquidity patterns, and better collateral utility. Market signal: With BTC above $76,000 and $2.25 billion in cash reserved, Strategy’s dual move – more BTC plus refined shareholder returns – is a compounding demand signal for the spot market. What Saylor Dual Signal Actually Means for Strategy’s Bitcoin Capital Stack The STRC preferred series – branded “Stretch” – launched in mid-2024 at an 11.5% annualized yield, initially paying monthly dividends funded in part by Bitcoin treasury yields. Source: Strategy STRC Volatility on the instrument has collapsed from 13% in its first eight months to 2.1% over the past two months, a compression driven by surging institutional demand that has pushed outstanding notional value to $6.4 billion. The semi-monthly proposal doesn’t change the yield – 11.5% annualized remains fixed – but splits payment cadence to record dates on the 15th and last day of each month, pending Nasdaq compliance review and dual approval from both STRC holders and MSTR common shareholders. Saylor’s stated rationale: “The proposed changes are intended to stabilize price, dampen cyclicality, drive liquidity, and grow demand.” He added the team views semi-monthly as “twice as good” as monthly for the instrument. Incoming… pic.twitter.com/JqwzvJpca1 — Michael Saylor (@saylor) April 19, 2026 If approved, STRC would be the only preferred security or equity globally paying dividends twice monthly , a structural differentiator that improves collateral utility for borrowing and tightens haircuts for institutional holders using it as leverage collateral. That’s not a minor footnote. Better collateral terms mean more institutional capital can rotate into STRC without consuming as much balance sheet, which expands the buyer pool at the exact moment Saylor is telegraphing another large BTC purchase. The feedback loop here is deliberate: more demand for STRC funds more capital raises, which fund more BTC accumulation, which backstops the yield instrument.
