Strategy is poised to announce fresh Bitcoin acquisitions after pausing purchases in recent weeks, according to a signal from chairman Michael Saylor on Sunday morning. Saylor posted a “Working Better” tweet featuring a chart of the company’s historical Bitcoin purchases, a pattern that has preceded major acquisition announcements in the past.
The timing coincides with Bitcoin closing May down 3.65 percent, near $73,566 at publication. Strategy holds 843,738 Bitcoin with an average cost basis of $75,701 per coin. Any near-term purchase would occur as the largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder navigates a concurrent shareholder vote on dividend structure changes.
Strategy’s verified X.com account posted on May 28 that shareholders must vote on an amendment to convert STRC’s monthly dividend into semi-monthly payments. The proposal requires approval from 50 percent of all 85 million shares outstanding as of April 17, 2026. CEO Phong Le addressed investors directly: “I wanted to personally walk you through the proposed amendment and what it means for you.”
Strategy’s investor relations team emphasized voting urgency in messages to employees. Historical proxy participation rates show institutional holders vote at 77 percent rates, while retail investors average 29 percent participation over the past five seasons. The company argues that semi-monthly dividends would reduce reinvestment lag, enhance liquidity, improve market efficiency, and increase price stability. The proxy vote deadline is set for June 7, 2026.
Blockstream CEO Adam Back highlighted Bitcoin’s 200-week moving average as a technical threshold signaling long-term upward price momentum, noting the level at $61,000. Strategy’s anticipated announcement would come as Bitcoin faces headwinds from May’s 3.5 percent monthly decline.
The company did not specify the timing or size of any planned purchase announcement. Strategy paused Bitcoin acquisitions in recent weeks without disclosing the reason for the pause.
