When BITCOIN USD drops by a few percent, Strategy often falls further because investors factor in leverage and risk.<\/p>\n<p>This dynamic attracts traders who want Bitcoin exposure through a regular brokerage account without dealing with wallets or exchanges, though it also increases volatility compared to holding Bitcoin directly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/high-risk-high-reward-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in February2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Why Michael Saylor Keeps Buying<\/h2>\n<p>Despite recent price declines, Michael Saylor continues to frame Bitcoin as a long-term digital property and views dips as buying opportunities.
