^ MS won't do things that would hurt them in the long run, just like any company.

There is no scenario where they are dropping their bags just because.

If that were to happen, it would be negative for the Bitcoin market and the crypto market as a whole, as it would cause a psychological effect on investors and cause many people to sell their Bitcoins. But the Bitcoin market has been through worse than this scenario, so I think the Bitcoin market will recover in time, but the losses in the market will be significant.

I don't see it happening.

It wouldn't benefit them in the long run.

Funny enough, for them to sell, means there were buyers to buy and hence bitcoin is still in circulation but the downturn will be that, some people would definitely panic sell but it’s all needed in the process, meanwhile, majority will still be holding down too tight especially @JayJuanGee and the host of others would definitely still be holding without even been startled but rather see more opportunities to buy more.

The truth is, as a core believer of bitcoin, a downfall in price couldn’t be a cause for alarm to panic sell but rather an opportunity to buy at more cheaper prices because definitely, it will bounce back to a more better price and there have been cases in the past, when major holders sold major of their coins and the market was startled but it later recover when even a new ATH.

Yeah but let’s be on same assumption page with op and assume they are willing to sell their half a million bitcoin and there are people to buy, definitely, they will be selling at a loss because the price of the coin will be dropped causing microstrategy  to be in loss and just as we all know that, from the initial, they came in to make profit and there shouldn’t any reasonable thing that would prompt them to just wake up and decide to sell their coins all at once at a loss because to sell should quantity, then it will be auctioned.

The German government holds only 50kBTC and is worth over $2 billion, their dumping also caused panic in the market while MicroStrategy holds over 500kBTC (2% of the supply) and is worth almost $50 billion. If they dump massively, the panic could increase tenfold or more. Worse still, if they don't sell BTC via OTC but sell directly on exchanges, this will drain market liquidity and panic will peak.
Bitcoin will recover for a while after that, but that will be a very bad scenario, not as simple as other dumps we have experienced.

Good buying opportunity is all I think about when I hear about microstrategy potentially dumping all its Bitcoin. Remember that Bitcoin has never really been through a serious recession/depression. When the next big recession happens it wouldn't be surprising to see the Bitcoin price go down and since microstrategy is heavily leveraged they would be more affected than average by a big downturn. I think we could see sub $10k Bitcoin at some point in the future and that would obliterate microstrategy. So for the people that are liquid at that time it will be an awesome buying opportunity. Maybe we'll see drop to $10k then a run up to $1 million per btc  

I believe the government along with blackrock and other entities are also greatly manipulating btc now and they have some vested in btc dumping, most likely so they can corner more supply. The government and their fiat banking system always pull this bs so it's not surprising to see them try the same thing here, they are toxic to bitcoin and people shouldn't have cheered on them getting involved. Funny thing is Saylor and microstrategy were one of the biggest cheerleaders of the government getting involved into Bitcoin because he thought they would help him. Then at Trumps crypto day he was facepalming when he saw what Trump was doing. That is a little foreshadowing of what will happen. The governments manipulating will be one reason bitcoin has a downturn and that in turn will lead to microstrategy getting obliterated. Moral of the story is government lovers and fiat lovers will get owned so never cheer the government on or you'll get what's coming to you.

1.Selling large amounts of BTC at once is a really stupid move. Even if Microstrategy had decided to sell their BTC, they would sell small amounts every other day, instead of selling everything in one day. There's no point dumping the market and pushing the BTC price down.
2.Microstrategy is the most bullish BTC investment fund in business. They claim to be the most hardcore BTC HODLers in the world. I don't think that they would risk ruining their reputation. Big institutional investors don't act like retail investors. Such big investors simply don't panic, when something happens on the market.
3.Even if a massive selloff occurs, the price would eventually recover, since the demand for BTC won't slow down in the long term.

Yep, if MS wanted to do something like that, they wouldn't do it in one swift go - they will probably prolong the period in which their BTCs would be dumped.

And then again.. the reason to do so would be very sharp for them, to say the least.

Great view on it.

MS knows that the more they hodl and wait patiently - the better, and even though there may be pullbacks and so much more, it will be worth it, and the results from doing so would be much bigger than to close up and cash out once (even though, as it was said - there is always a possibility of such an event too).

^ MS is, at that point, synonymous with BTC and with what the company mainly does and is praised for.

I don't think they will change their course that abruptly, because there is much to do rather than drop their bags..
