Saylor Signals Another Bitcoin Buy as Strategy Pushes STRC Dividend Vote

May 17, 2026

Michael Saylor is again pointing the market toward a possible Strategy (NASDAQ: $MSTR) bitcoin purchase, while the company pushes retail investors to vote on a dividend change tied to its STRC preferred stock.

Saylor posted “Big Dot Energy” on Sunday alongside a chart tracking Strategy’s bitcoin (CRYPTO: $BTC) purchases over nearly six years. He has often shared similar purchase charts before the company announces a new bitcoin buy, making the post another signal for investors watching Strategy’s accumulation cadence.

A purchase this week would add to Strategy’s current 818,869 bitcoin position, already the largest corporate bitcoin treasury in the market. The company’s holdings were valued at about $67.2 billion based on bitcoin’s price at the time of publication, according to Cointelegraph.

The bitcoin signal came alongside a more direct campaign around STRC, Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock. Saylor and Strategy’s official social channels urged holders to vote on a proxy measure that would allow the company to pay STRC dividends twice per month instead of once.

Strategy says the semi-monthly structure could reduce reinvestment lag, improve liquidity, support market efficiency and help STRC trade closer to its $100 target price. The company said the annualized dividend rate would not change if the amendment is approved.

STRC is now a larger part of Strategy’s funding strategy, offering another path to raise capital for bitcoin purchases without relying as much on common-share issuance. The proposed dividend change puts retail participation and payout mechanics directly inside that broader trade.

Retail participation is the harder piece. Strategy says 80% of STRC is held by retail investors, and the company has scheduled a May 20 live Q&A with Saylor and CEO Phong Le ahead of the June 8 proxy vote deadline.

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR) stock is currently trading at $177.42 U.S. per share. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is currently trading at $78,375 U.S. per digital token.
