The corporate cryptocurrency pioneer Strategy is poised to announce a fresh round of Bitcoin acquisitions. This potential move comes during a minor market dip and ahead of a crucial shareholder proxy vote regarding its preferred stock structure.
Saylor Signals Fresh Bitcoin Buying Activity
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor recently shared a chart tracking the company’s historical purchases with the caption “Working Better.” Historically, such social media updates from Saylor precede official announcements of multi-million dollar acquisitions for the firm’s massive cryptocurrency treasury.
Currently, the enterprise holds 843,738 BTC acquired at an average price of $75,701 per coin. With Bitcoin trading slightly down at approximately $73,566, any upcoming purchases would effectively lower the company’s average cost basis.
“The 200-week moving average pushing well past the $61,000 mark is a technical milestone, signaling a robust long-term upward trajectory despite short-term monthly pullbacks,” commented Blockstream CEO Adam Back.
The STRC Proxy Vote: Mobilizing Retail Investors
Alongside its treasury expansion, the firm is actively campaigning for an upcoming proxy vote deadline on June 7, 2026. The proposal aims to transition dividend payments on its STRC perpetual preferred stock from a monthly to a semi-monthly schedule.
Key Voting Statistics:
- Required Approval: 50% of all 85 million outstanding shares as of April 17, 2026.
- Average Retail Investor Turnout: Historically around 29%.
- Average Institutional Turnout: Approximately 77%.
Why the Dividend Frequency Matters
Transitioning to semi-monthly dividends on STRC is expected to deliver several key benefits to investors:
- Reduced reinvestment lag for compounding returns;
- Enhanced market liquidity;
- Increased price stability for the preferred shares.
CEO Phong Le released a video message urging retail shareholders to cast their votes, emphasizing that every single share counts toward reaching the required 50% threshold.
