## When the market trembles, Saylor remains unfazed: MicroStrategy's Bitcoin plan is locked in



While Bitcoin experienced a temporary dip below $88,000 this weekend, Michael Saylor didn't lose a second. In a matter of hours, the cryptocurrency rebounded above $89,500, but for the billionaire entrepreneur, this short-term movement is irrelevant. His mission remains crystal clear: to accumulate Bitcoin with the precision of a stopwatch, regardless of market turbulence.

### MicroStrategy multiplies purchases: two billion dollars in a few weeks

The strategy is becoming increasingly aggressive. In a span of just three days between December 12 and 14, MicroStrategy acquired 10,645 BTC for $980.3 million, with an average cost of $92,098 per unit. But what truly surprises is the pace: the week before, the company had already made a significant move with 10,624 BTC for $962.7 million. Two weeks of nearly a billion dollars each represent an unprecedented rhythm even for Saylor.

MicroStrategy's total holdings now amount to 671,268 BTC, with total investments exceeding $50.33 billion. The average cost per Bitcoin? $74,972. Impressive numbers, but even more impressive is the structure behind these purchases.

### The war chest is untouchable: here’s how Saylor funds this frenzy

To support this massive acquisition, MicroStrategy sold common shares for $888.2 million. However, the masterstroke was creating a liquidity reserve of $1.44 billion. The declared goal: never sell a satoshi of Bitcoin to pay dividends or interest on debt. It’s an explicit message to investors: the treasury is sacred, untouchable, locked in.

### Bitcoin under pressure from Tokyo: but Saylor doesn’t care

This weekend, analysts linked Bitcoin’s decline to speculations about the Bank of Japan. A possible rate hike by Japan could dismantle carry trade strategies, putting pressure on riskier assets. However, not everyone agrees. As analyst Sykodelic noted on X: “If anonymous accounts on X already know a topic well enough to comment, then institutional investors knew about it days ago. Markets look ahead.”

Saylor doesn’t care much. While Bitcoin oscillated around $91.55K, he kept pressing the buy button.

### Saylor’s lesson: perfect timing doesn’t exist, but consistency does

MicroStrategy’s philosophy is simple but powerful: there is no ideal moment. What matters is consistency. Buy when the market dips, buy when it rises, always buy. Meanwhile, other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana have experienced similar shocks, but no CEO seems willing to seize the moment with Saylor’s determination.

If tomorrow Bitcoin were to crash to $50,000, as some predict, Saylor would probably be very happy. Every dip means an opportunity to accumulate at lower prices. For him, the lower Bitcoin goes, the more it becomes an irresistible buying opportunity.
