Unfortunately they aren't stupid. They won't sell them all on a single day. My guess is 2600 lots of 10 btc sold over 2 months.
If a big lot will be very useful to find out whether the whales are paying over or under the odds. Given the publicity around this and the relatively small number ($22 mill) I will lean towards over. It would not be a good look if these went for $12 million if the current market price holds.
Different story with 126k coins because that is starting to be real money.
