Strategy has once again chosen to increase its Bitcoin holdings at a time when many investors are stepping back.&nbsp;
On December 1, the company bought <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/bitcoin-outlook-strengthens-as-researcher-points-to-major-market-disconnect/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> worth $11.7million. This latest buy comes despite the sharp drop in the digital asset’s price and growing fear across the crypto market.&nbsp;

The Nasdaq-listed firm revealed in a press release that it acquired 130 BTC for $11.7 million, paying an average of $89,960 per coin.&nbsp;
With this latest purchase, the company now holds 650,000 BTC, bought at a total cost of $48.38 billion, with an average price of $74,436 per Bitcoin.
Despite the current turbulence in the crypto market, Strategy reported a 27.8% BTC yield year-to-date, which signals that the company’s long-term strategy is still working in its favor.&nbsp;

Strategy’s actions continue a recognizable pattern. Two weeks ago, the company skipped its usual purchase after completing one of its largest buys. <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/strategy-expands-bitcoin-holdings-with-835-6m-purchase/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">It had acquired 8,178 BTC for $836 million using funds raised from its STRE offering.</a>
Now, with markets slipping into fear, Strategy has stepped back in. Data from CoinMarketCap shows the Fear and Greed Index at 20, a level that reflects strong panic. This comes as Bitcoin’s price recently fell below $90,000, triggering widespread sell-offs and uncertainty.
However, Strategy remains calm. The company has repeatedly said it will continue accumulating Bitcoin even during a bear market. It has pointed to its actions during the 2022 crypto winter, when it kept buying even as Bitcoin traded below its average purchase price.&nbsp;
Last month, Saylor confidently stated that his <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/michael-saylor-says-strategy-can-weather-severe-bitcoin-crashes/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">firm is built to withstand extreme fluctuations in the Bitcoin market.&nbsp;</a>

While Strategy continues its Bitcoin push, <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/strategys-stock-slide-sparks-debate-over-its-bitcoin-roadmap/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">its stock MSTR, is facing pressure</a>. According to TradingView data, the stock is down more than 5% today, trading around $168 in premarket hours.
In response to financial needs, Strategy recently created a USD reserve of $1.44 billion. The U.S.-based firm funded this large USD reserve by selling 8.2 million MSTR shares through its at-the-market (ATM) offering program.&nbsp;
Additionally, it also raised nearly $1.5 billion, which was used to build the reserve and help finance its latest Bitcoin purchase. Going forward, Strategy plans to keep a reserve large enough to cover at least 12 months of dividend payments. Over time, it aims to strengthen this reserve to support 24 months or more.
CEO Phong Le recently <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/strategy-ceo-explains-bitcoin-holdings-plan-and-financial-discipline/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stated that selling Bitcoin would only happen as a last resort.</a> Le said this would occur only if the company cannot raise capital and if its mNAV falls below one. For now, the Strategy intends to keep its Bitcoin untouched.
