Bid Support
Using funds to provide bid support (in the market). Using funds to prop up the share price would be an easier expression for a layperson. Depends on your audience. N.B. This is usually viewed as a form of market manipulation.

N.B. ‘Holding the market’ also a possible translation as noted, but this also refers more generally to investing in a market index, in the sense of 指数化投资, and may be confusing depending on the circumstances. Again, depends on the context.
