Topic: When will Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy sell BTC? - page 4. (Read 1179 times)

While technically that's true that he's got to hold it for and he's one of the guys with their companies, financial institutions that has shown interest.

But for the sake of not being gullible, they'd really going to sell some in the future and that will surely going to affect the market once they do it.

I agree.

He has to hold for the company and with his clients but the time of selling will come. It may not be as a whole for the $MSTR but there definitely going to be some huge profit taking that's about to come and they won't want to miss this cycle's moment.

But from the context of what Bitcoin is evolving to be, and from an investment perspective, Michael Saylor and definitely many other insitutions - financial or government - should HODL Bitcoin in their treasury as a fall-back/back-up, no?

There's another asset that many institutions truly like to HODL for that purpose. It's called Gold. Saylor's HODL-motive, Gold-like investment strategy for Bitcoin is nothing new. MicroStrategy might sell some Bitcoin, but it will always HODL Bitcoin. The cat is out of the bag ser.

All companies has there yearly or annual revenue report which means the board need breeding about where and how money is going and coming. He might be the CEO of the company but with obligations to let people know there profits and there share and even with this, there will be some faction in that company that wouldn't like this buying of bitcoin, Michael Saylor tellimg us he is not going to sell and continue to buy and then went ahead to validate that statement with 300k think people are that dumb, trust me may whales are familiar with his game, they will sell and live him be until SEC will come knocking on his door for doing one or two things that is against the descipline of financial system.

Who doesn't like profit, tell me. I might believe if it's coming from Bitcoin company but not from a software company that is profit base and not a non government organization, he really think people really care about his position in Bitcoin.

It never enters my mind until these threads come up. Yea there is a probability of a sell off at some stage. It would go against everything he preaches and there is a chance that the majority of his co investors are on the same page as him so they have a loooooong outlook.

It depends on the amount of Bitcoin being sold, there would be an affect but in the end Bitcoin is bigger than any one entity.

No because as above Bitcoin is greater than any one entity and I'm not a trader so events whatever they are wont affect me in the long term

I would like to know your opinion on this issue:

• What are your thoughts on the possibility of Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy selling Bitcoin during the current bull cycle's distribution phase?

Whether he's going to sell $MSTR shares or actual Bitcoin, don't be gullible with his words and also with other known people that owns a company.

They'd come to an unknown time selling their stash for their own benefit. All of them have their reasons why they've been buying and just as us, they're there to make profit.

So, if he said that he's never going to buy, he's got that laser eyes and diamond hands. Possible that he's saying is true but I don't buy that, he's also like us that would like to have some profits.

AFAIK, Michael Saylor has a Twitter/X account. Why don't you asking him? All those "What if Microstrategy sells BTC?" questions are pure speculation and nothing else. I don't believe in Saylor's statements, that he will "never sell" any BTC. What's the point of buying BTC, if you never sell the BTC? Using those BTC to buy goods and services? Microstrategy is an investment fund, not a regular "brick and mortar" business. Keeping the BTC forever in a cold wallet, even if the BTC price hits 100K USD? I don't think that the Microstrategy shareholders will be happy with that decision. However, I don't want to speculate or discuss gossips and rumors about Saylor's future decisions.

I don’t know when they will sell some but at some stage I assume they will & be handsomely in profit. There is nothing to worry about when they do sell some though. Adoption is growing all the time, there is always a buyer & a seller, it doesn’t matter who is what. There will be a lot more institutional demand now that we have Spot ETFs. Don’t worry about what Saylor & Microstrategy do.

Saylor created himself an image of a true Bitcoin believer who is in for the tech and will hodl forever, but remember that it costs him nothing to write posts on twitter, and some 5 years ago he was a Bitcoin skeptic. He changed his opinion because he saw opportunity for profit, and if Bitcoin starts performing poorly, he could easily dump it and look for new investment opportunities. I won't even be surprised if one day he turns into an altcoin shill - maybe he'll use the trust he build to launch his coin or promote someone's coin for a decent chunk of premine.

Saylor claims MicroStrategy will never sell their Bitcoin^[4], positioning them as unwavering "diamond hands".

MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, has become a prominent player in the Bitcoin market through its aggressive accumulation strategy. Their recent purchase of 850 BTC in January 2024 signals continued confidence in Bitcoin's potential^[1], especially considering their reported $4 billion profit on previous investments^[2]. This stands in stark contrast to mid-2022, when the company faced criticism for incurring significant losses^[3].

Saylor claims MicroStrategy will never sell their Bitcoin^[4], positioning them as unwavering "diamond hands". However, as a publicly traded company with profit-seeking shareholders like Capital International Investors, Vanguard, and Blackrock^[5], the pressure to capitalize on significant price increases cannot be ignored.

While missing out on 2021's peak proved costly, MicroStrategy's MSTR stock price has surged nearly 500% since their initial Bitcoin investment in July 2020^[6]. However, some argue that failing to take profits during bull runs contradicts optimal investment strategies.


While Saylor's personal belief in Bitcoin's future might be genuine, shareholder pressure could compel MicroStrategy to reconsider its stance if Bitcoin reaches significant highs, like the projected $160,000 in 2025, followed by signs of a downward trend. Considering the cyclical nature of the cryptocurrency market, with the next peak expected in 2025, it wouldn't be surprising to see MicroStrategy potentially offload some of its Bitcoin holdings then.


MicroStrategy's significant holdings and regular Bitcoin purchases have generated considerable interest in the cryptocurrency market. If the company decides to sell its BTC in 2025, it could trigger various market reactions:

• Potential Positive Impacts: MicroStrategy's monthly disclosures regarding BTC purchases and sales offer valuable insights into their perspective on the market, potentially influencing investor sentiment. Selling alongside a major player like MicroStrategy could present an opportunity for some investors to align their own investment decisions.
• Potential Negative Impacts: A large-scale BTC sell-off by MicroStrategy could trigger significant fear and panic selling, leading to a sharp decline in the price. If a prominent advocate like MicroStrategy loses faith in Bitcoin, it could erode investor confidence and lead to a sustained price drop, potentially pushing the price below $60,000 by 2026.

While Bitcoin's price fluctuations are cyclical, and Saylor and MicroStrategy acknowledged this, I would be surprised if they held onto their BTC during the anticipated crypto winter of 2026-2027.

My thoughts would be that of congratulatory because they've been hodling that much bitcoin and have been accumulating for a really long time already and I think that whatever they do, they deserve to have it and I just hope that I'm prepared financially with whatever their big liquidation creates.

I anticipate it to be something that's going to lower the price of bitcoin to a point that many of us would probably think is impossible to happen, like for example, they might break the price floor for bitcoin many times than we think is possible.

I don't think that MS is an individual, they're an investment company right? Which means that there's a board sitting on top of that company that's deciding how they should do things and how they should sell the bitcoin. If I have an early information about their decisions, I'd probably consider but when it hits the trading space and investment space, it's already too late for us outside of their circle.

Microstrategy is in the business of selling stock, not Bitcoin. Saylor will likely just take loans out against his MSTR holdings and spend that with the hopes his company can continue buying BTC forever and the rise in value of his assets will dwarf his debts. That’s if he even has debts… He has probably already sold enough of his personal BTC to be set for life.
