When will Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy sell BTC?

[bayu7adi]

Most likely they will definitely take profits a few months after the halving or when the BTC price is estimated to have reached its highest point at the end of 2024 or in 2025.
Because they also definitely have predictions and targets to make a profit from Bitcoin, and they certainly wont just sell their entire portfolio without a very urgent reason.

They certainly realize that selling on a large scale will affect the market so that their profits will be slightly smaller compared to selling in stages.

The withdrawal strategy is quite popular at the moment https://bitcoindata.science/withdrawal-strategy , this is most likely the most appropriate way for MicroStrategy to take profit. And as for the timing, because the halving moment will come soon, it is a golden opportunity for MicroStrategy,

Agree with you, the biggest possibility is that they will sell it in Q3 or Q4 2024 to Q2 2025.

Well, I am on the side of never as well, or at least hopefully never. We can't really be certain about when this will happen, but we can at least know that its not going to be anytime soon. When they are making this much profit, it doesn't feel like it would make sense for them to sell it. I get that it may not be great for the time being, but it can at least look like a decent size chunk. This should be important to notice that you are going to see a lot of rich people just keep doing what made them rich, and MicroStrategy grew a ton with this, so they probably do not really consider stop making that profit.

The simple answer from me is that when a lot of Bitcoin owners sell all their Bitcoin assets, it will definitely have an impact on the market and create a Bitcoin Dump.
Not to mention the panic from traders and retail investors who were crushed by the Bitcoin sales carried out by Michael Saylor and Microstrategy.

But before they sell Bitcoin there will definitely be something called drama, which allows the price of Bitcoin to rise and fall very quickly.
After that, there was an announcement from those who had sold all their Bitcoin assets and caused the market to panic and continue to dump so quickly.

The best advice if this incident really happens is that it might be better to Take Profit so you can get the maximum profit possible because fear comes faster than the power to buy Bitcoin.

You mean we need to take charge of our own investment plans instead of waiting for or depending on the buying and selling behavior of Saylor and MS? OK, I think this is really necessary because we need to make our own investment decisions for our own crypto assets. We do not have the financial position like Saylor or MS, we are just small investors and we cannot raise hundreds of millions of USD to buy BTC continuously like MS.

The difficulty I see is that the majority of investors in the market are not competent enough to make the right decisions, and we always see more people losing money than people making profits, even though stories of becoming millionaires from crypto are widely spread on the internet... I'm also not sure if MS will sell BTC in 2025, but if MS does sell, we will be able to see more clearly the madness of this market!

Meanwhile, for now, there is chaos and panic in the market. The big players clearly know something. While some are selling the last of it, others are hoarding it. 

"MicroStrategy purchased another 9,245 BTC between March 11 and March 18. The company's cumulative balance is 214,246 BTC, with 7.5$ billion spent."

Strong hands are bullish at this moment, and they keep accumulating BTC. But we are not whales; we must wait for the right time to buy. I am lucky that I bought a good portion of BTC at 27K range and it gave me 2x already. I am very happy with the output so far and expect another long run after the halving event.

As for Microstrategy, they are a company, and they have to show an asset value anyhow. BTC is a good asset which can increase multiple times in a couple of years. So, it's a good choice for them. I do not see any reason why they would sell BTC anytime soon.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

         -   You know the difference between Michael Saylor and other institutional investors is that he only buys the value of bitcoin without a definite time frame for when or how long he will hold it. While the other investors seem to have a target plan for when they will sell it, which is the price of bitcoin,.

So, that means Saylor has something that other institutional investors don't see. This is the only thing that has been seen that can be done by Saylor compared to other investors.

Everything is stable (as always) Weak hands sell the last, strong hands buy with hope for the future. It has been and will always be like that.

Big campaigns rule not only the market, but the world as a whole. So it's a normal story. And what will happen in 10 years with the crypto market = maximally difficult to predict. If there is no need, on the contrary, you should accumulate BTC as much as possible. But do not forget about risk management, it is an important component of every investor for the long term.

All my investments were in crypto, but very recently, I had to start a business in real life. I had to take a loan because I did not want to sell my holdings. BTC was around 45K then, so look where we are now. It was a nice decision for me not to sell my Bitcoin and other crypto holdings. It's almost 1.8x at this moment.

I consider myself as weak hands because I do not have capability to make a movement on the market. But there are market makers who can change the market in a hour or so. For now, I am accumulating every single sats!

[bhadz]

I wouldn't believe that they will never sell. Most of them are needed to profit for their clients and that's the reason why I believe that they'll never sell. So, if you're thinking that they won't, it's also possible but that is just me thinking that they will sell but we don't know when.

Agree with the statement that they will never sell it, so where will they get the money to provide payments to users, as you have said, it seems impossible if Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy, it is possible that they sell the assets they own without using the wallet that is used to hold everything user assets.

The 214,246 BTC in MS's treasury belong to the company's budget. Although shareholders may own a part of the company, they are usually not interested in the fate of this BTC. Only the largest shareholders can make decisions about it by influencing Saylor. As far as I know, MS does not pay dividends to shareholders. All shareholders have is the right to vote and the opportunity to profit from the increase in the price of MSTR.

However, I also do not believe that MS will hold forever, because even MS cannot exist forever. They will have to sell BTC when they reach a certain goal or under pressure from large shareholders during the company's operation.

Lol, but there was an image of Michael Saylor here,



And they say that he sold his chair so that he can buy Bitcoin,  . I think though it's just sarcasm, but they have a lot of Bitcoin already, the company itself and maybe they will sell some of it when necessary and if the Board of Directors will approved it.

Indeed. Most of us here are not market makers, which means even when we decide to sell our holdings, it won't make any impact on the market, unlike MicroStrategy, which has a great say. Zero trust is basically a protocol that makes Bitcoin transactions unique, but this same zero trust is not applicable to those who have made massive investments in Bitcoin, as they can choose to sell their Bitcoin at any point in time without the awareness of the Bitcoin community. We would only feel the effect from how the market reacts in terms of price.

Of course, MicroStrategy would certainly sell their Bitcoin someday, but in a perfect time when the market conditions are very favorable and the price is very high. But I doubt if they would want to sell all at once. If Saylor were to sell all (which is slightly not possible), then the market would definitely experience a downtrend that might last for weeks.

Exactly. +1 for that.
I agree with what you have said. This is another reason I am not very much happy with the companies holding billions of dollars in Bitcoin. We need more people and grow the community members and spread the BItcoin more. Even though companies are unlikely to sell their Bitcoin holdings anytime soon because they want to increase the assets of their company. Some others can decide the opposite.

We have seen how the market reacts when ETF companies sell their Bitcoins, and we have an overall outflow in a week. Bitcoin did not pump much once ETF approval was announced. That is because ETF companies immediately started dumping their holdings.

LOL... a little funny, but this is really sarcastic. They are the whales of the cryptocurrency world, so it could be that this is just to lure all small investors not to panic if they want to buy Bitcoin, but in the end we don't know when they will start selling their Bitcoin, because actually even now if they want to take advantage , they've definitely got it. Maybe they are a little more greedy, because they still see Bitcoin's potential and also their fairly central position.

They are trying to lead opinions, but I think you all should also know that our position cannot be said to be safe from an unexpected dump because of MicroStrategy's actions.
