Bitcoin back at $70,000 did Saylor's $8,000 last stand work?
[Market Inside] Strategy: "We Won’t Sell Even After a 90% Crash"... ‘Iron Mentality’ That Calmed Fear Fuels the Rebound
As Bitcoin (BTC) recovered to the $71,000 level on the 7th (Korean time), achieving a dramatic V-shaped rebound, the decisive trigger credited with calming market fear is a strong holding declaration by Strategy, the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. Despite posting a quarterly net loss of $12.4 billion, management’s statement that there would be “no forced liquidation unless Bitcoin falls to $8,000” is analyzed to have halted investors’ panic selling.
◇ “Liquidation Price Is $8,000”… Erasing the Market’s ‘Selling Fear’
According to industry sources, the key engine behind this rebound was a remark made by management during Strategy’s Q4 2025 earnings call on the 6th. At a time when Bitcoin was threatening the $60,000 level, CEO Phong Le stated via the conference call, “Only if Bitcoin were to collapse 90% from current levels to $8,000 and remain there for five years until 2032 would the company’s survival be threatened.”
This single-handedly dispelled concerns circulating in parts of the market about a potential Strategy-driven margin call—forced liquidation due to asset valuation declines. As confidence grew that a massive whale holding 713,502 BTC would not join the selling ranks, dip-buying flowed in, pushing prices back above $70,000.
◇ ‘Buying More Despite Losses’… A Bold Move Turning Bad News into Good
Although Strategy endured the pain of a $12.4 billion net loss in the fourth quarter and a 17% plunge in its stock price, it instead chose a head-on approach by announcing an aggressive additional accumulation plan.
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor emphasized that “the downturn is temporary, and now is the optimal time to increase holdings.” To support this, the company announced plans to issue preferred shares paying an annual dividend of 11.25% to raise ammunition for further Bitcoin purchases. Saylor’s strategy—going beyond mere endurance to leverage capital markets to scoop up Bitcoin—sent a powerful signal to investors that “the bottom has been confirmed.”
◇ Proactive Response to Future ‘Quantum Computing’ Risks… Boosting Credibility
In addition, Strategy unveiled preemptive measures against the “quantum computing threat,” long cited as a potential long-term downside risk. Saylor announced that the company is “working with global experts to operate a Bitcoin security program,” countering FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) that quantum computers could crack Bitcoin’s cryptography with a concrete technical roadmap.
Ultimately, even while carrying the worst report card of a $17.4 billion valuation loss, Strategy’s steadfast declaration—“We are not selling”—is seen as having led Sunday’s relief rally.
Market experts assessed that “Strategy effectively served as the last line of defense in holding the $63,000 level for Bitcoin,” adding that “the unrealistic liquidation line of $8,000 provided investors with a psychological safety net.”
