Are institutional investors capable of selling their bitcoins?

[xSkylarx]

Of course yes like what Tesla did few days ago where they said that they sold 10% of their holdings to provide liquidity from the market. There is no problem if those institutional investors sell their holdings, if they do there are many small institutions and retailers prepared to buy it. What I just don't like is the media makes it a big issue and make it looks like a bad news to scare those weak hands causing for the market to dump hard sometimes.

This can be your concern but it not an issue in this bull market, just look at what Elon Musk said, he said Tesla sold their Bitcoin because they want to know how liquid the market is and instead of the price of BTC to dump base on this news, it pumps. I believe they market will withstand any dump by any institutional investors

They can really give out significant impact in the market once these big institutional investor or companies would really tend to sell out their coins on a specific period of time

but to think that there are lots who are really goes after on a cheaper coin in the market which means when it comes to support lines then there are lots who are been longing for these dips.

They can sell all they want but for sure there are people who are ready to buy when its already cheap because they've known that it will just make some recovery later on.

Now, a very common logic, which institution would like to buy btc at $100k or even at million dollars when the seller institution is already taking out big profits in fiat by selling their btc to the buyer Institution? Won't that btc be coming with an impermanent loss if the price dumps later? Do you think there is any point where a stagnancy of liquidity or financial crunch may affect the price of btc so badly that it can reverse down like it did in the 2018 crash?

One thing to mention about here is Bitcoin won't reach 100,000$ "hypothetically" if there is no demand pushing it to do so, Bitcoin going up to that value means there was a sudden increase in demand even though it went up. Your other problem with regards to them selling their cryptocurrencies it will always be a double edged sword as they can sell it all at once and do a short but in this strategy they wouldn't be able to sell all of their holdings at the highest possible price as they have put a lot of pressure on the sellers' side so the most smart thing for them to do is to sell it in trenches for them to maximize the highest profit possible while not influencing the price of Bitcoin.

Yes they can sell their bitcoins, it's just that they are on the long-term so it doesn't look like they are going to sell, they get in bitcoin to profit so why can't they sell their bitcoin.

In bull market it's obvious that the liquidity is overflowing but in a bearish market when people are too afraid of buying it might be a problem however not as big problem as most of people gonna imagine and it's true that the price dumps after the news coming out meaning actually the crypto market could withstand such massive dump if there's no fud accompanying. But maybe in next few years a sell off of few hundred million dollars not gonna be as impactful as today and tesla probably testing the water and make prediction on the future liquidity based on that.

we see the crypto market as sensitive to news. but this is more focused on the psychology game of each trader. I think this is what whales use to make a profit by exploiting these weaknesses. people will tend to be fomo if they see prices continue to rise, without them thinking that there will be a correction that we can use to buy, that is one example

[grabpopcorn536]

Bitcoin has increased in value significantly since institutions took notice and bought Bitcoin. I think they will sell their portfolios to take profit. We mustn't know how they will do it. They cannot sell them all at once because it is unwise to have a good profit.
Take profit is part of investment and it is bound to happen.

[noorammak]

Bitcoin fell sharply in April and quickly recovered. Along with that event is the fact that Tesla has announced 10% profit-taking on the amount of Bitcoin it has purchased previously.
We don't know when institutions sell their Bitcoins, but if they all sell-off, the value of Bitcoin will drop drastically. I think they will have a plan to run away from the market without disturbing the entire market.

At this time I don't think any institutional hodler will be ready to dump significant number of their hodling in trying to risk the dumping of price. More investors are ready to share from that hodling instantly. I think what can cause such dump is when there is little sell and demand and market becomes less volatile then these may create panic and dumping out of fear can begin to happen. And if for example that there is a bad news from either channels that have approved the used of bitcoin but even with that, price may not drop because P2P is still available for use.

[Issa56]

From the little experience am having and from the research have done I don't think any institutional investors will definitely sell of there bitcoin currently I see no reason why they sell there bitcoin now because they know that bitcoin current price is still very low which they won't really want to sell now everybody really want to make huge profits and they know bitcoin will pump in the nearest future. If the institutional investors decide to sell off there coin definitely the price of bitcoin will drop a little bit but there are lot's of investors that are ready to buy the coin instantly and bitcoin will still pump back.

[Argoo]

I see no reason to even doubt it. Institutional investors are businessmen like everyone else, only larger. They also invest in cryptocurrency to make a profit. This means that they can also sell it at any time, if they deem it necessary. It is generally accepted that institutional investors buy cryptocurrency for a longer period. This is partly true. They have much better planning than an individual and urgent purchases are less common. However, all the same, these are the same business entities as others.

The answer is yes, they can sell their bitcoins, they have their reasons to buy bitcoin and hodling for the sake of the other people isn't one of them. This thread wouldn't exist if OP asked himself as to what he/she is going to do if OP has a lot of bitcoin which is pretty obvious that OP will sell those bitcoins.

this is the common answer that we will get in this question but it isnt
. this is why op ask us to visit the link because they expose the truth about institutional investor  .
if they are blindly buying btc , they could also care less selling thier btc . investing has risks and an investor should accept if the company that they invest in wont pay them anything . in terms of liquidating , institutions can sell large amount and there will always be buyers at any price point

[Chato1977]

I think they are literally no plan at all of selling their Bitcoins for a specific time even if the price of bitcoin drops hard sooner.
because they trust bitcoin that will come back hyping in future so Just like the Early adopter did, these institutional investors now are doing what we popularly called HODL and i think this is what they  really tended to do thats why they are still accumulating even if the value is increasing more and more.

[hannahB4]

Firstly, I would want you to ponder on how they bought those coins, simple logic they sell off whenever they are ready and I know that they won't stand up in a day and sell off all their coin and even if they decided to sell all off I can guarantee you that they will get sellers for it at whatsoever price it becomes. Real Investors won't consider the amount they are spending in buying the coin but see afar the profit it will yield after procurement.
