Your Bitcoin holdings quantity will not change regardless of how low the price of Bitcoin. Its value in fiat just decreased but the total amount  is just the same in Bitcoin quantity.

1BTC=1BTC always.

Your holdings quantity is not affected by any fiat value changes.

As Eternad posted already, the bitcoin price will not change.

6.9353289 BTC will remain as 6.9353289 regardless of the price of bitcoin, but if the price of bitcoin fall from $40000 to $20000, that means the value of the bitcoin in dollar has been fallen by half of its price.

[Nathrixxx]

Let's not because of what is happening continue to create more fear in people over investment in bitcoin, the market price will never again go to as low as what you assumed, maybe w should even admit that the fall down to $60,000 may be the last or we have more to about $50,000 later the year, which still does not spark for any reaction in loosing hope over what it's value creates to the relevance of the market, because last season, we had Bitcoin fall down to around $15,000 before we emerge the bullrun and get into all time high of $126,000 which we had over last year.

bitcoin remains the same, what changes is it value when compared to the dollar or other local currency at a particular point in time. and then, there is no possibility at the moment that bitcoin will drop down to zero USDT. such thought is just a function of fear and nothing more.

If bitcoin price goes further down than this, when i compare it to the USDT, it will certainly look like i have lost a lot up to 40% or above but that is just the value at the time, in the long run when the price of bitcoin still comes up, your bitcoin will still be the same but it equivalent to the usdt must have increased greatly.

Have you ever bought a coin other than BTC, pay attention to what to look for and you will quickly understand the difference if you hold BTC whether it is going up or down

As a Bitcoin investor or trader, it is required you know the difference between the market price and the network, before you can get a proper answer that suits your curiosity, because if the price falls to zero, it would mean Bitcoin is dead, miners no longer exist, no lightening network. It would mean Bitcoin has no value at all again.

Although it would seem that your Bitcoin balance would remain exactly the same in terms of quantity, but it would have no purchasing power.

If you bought it at 100,000 USD and locked it up in your garage, a few years later, the dealership reduces the price of the exact model of car you bought to 50,000 USD. Does it mean that the car in your garage reduces in size by half?
Absolutely not! You will get the same one you bought years back in the garage. Now apply the same logic to BTC. The lining is Bitcoin's price has been appreciating in the long run.

Good metaphor, Jerome.

The same can be applied to the pricing of the land

Bitcoin has volatility and that’s why traders exist in the first place, they actually trade because of the volatility attached to it and for Long term Investors or Hodlers like myself I don’t even usually bother much about checking the price often but for sure most people watch the price fluctuations.

eg. if you have like 6.9353289 bitcoin with a staggering price of about $40k per one bitcoin, should in any way the bitcoin price drops to about $20k per one bitcoin will the exact amount of 6.9353289 bitcoin still remain in your wallet or it will reduce following the price?

Replies above have explained and clear your curiosity about the quantity still remain the same just the price or value is reduced and furthermore if you keep your bitcoin in a wallet nothing will reduce the quantity of what you kept, the only thing that will be reduced is the value.

No, the answer is simple: the coin that you are holding will not be affected by the trading price of Bitcoin, whether it reaches a new all-time high or low. The coins in your wallet will remain the same. What will change is just the worth of these coins that you are holding in your wallet.
Other than this, your coins can vanish from your account only if you are doing leverage and futures trading. Because if your trade and open position go against your bet, then the chances are higher that you can lose your coins in the form of liquidation. CMIIW!
That is why it is better to avoid the future and leverage trading if one loves their coins. This is my point of view on this and not any financial advice to anyone here. DYOR!

Correct, I just don’t included it since I want to focus more on the main concern about the quantity changes on the wallet based on the price.

With the involvement of institutional trader and countries as their reserve, it’s impossible to erase completely the value of Bitcoin. It will continue to exist forever.

Only the volatility will change in the long run.

1BTC = 1BTC will remain same over the time. Since it's a digital asset it won't have any physical damage like gold or silver. So you don't have to worry about any damage reduction even after a century. Just don't forget your wallet password.
You can broke your vault but you can't brute force to unlock a wallet. It's so much difficult process.

As for the price fluctuations you can deal it as a stock, it can go or higher lower both.

[Odusko]

You lose only when you sell your Bitcoin, the value remains the same and is a sarcastic gesture from traders to think that this period of time will never come, as long as you expect Bitcoin to reach $150,000BTC, also expect a dip correction like this, this is why Bitcoin is an unpredictable asset, so long as you keep holding you sure never going to lose, so no need for fomo when you are into Bitcoin for long term goals.

[vanesha]

The amount of bitcoin you have will not affect the price, but the value of the asset will decrease or increase, meaning your balance will remain the same, like if you have gold, you have 1 gold, the price of gold goes down, you still have 1 gold but the value will decrease, not the amount you have.

[Versatile_choice]

Let's not because of what is happening continue to create more fear in people over investment in bitcoin, the market price will never again go to as low as what you assumed,

You should allow them to express thier feelings you know it is better you share your feelings with friends than keeping it all to yourself because when you share it with people they will summon courage and also give you reasons why you need to keep holding regardless,  those that chose to hide their feelings from people end up selling their holdings secretly because they feel that's the best thing to do not knowing that they are making the worst decision ever.

So I consider those who are sharing their feelings as the smart ones because if they are Left alone to decide what to do in this current situation there's no any other thing they will think of if not selling their holdings without minding if they are selling in profit or at lost.

I believe that there is some half truth to this. Losses are technically not real till the time of the sale, but it does not mean that there is no risk. When one purchases at a price, which may take years to get into the market, then that time can as well be a lost opportunity. The volatility of Bitcoin is not a new development, big ups come at the cost of big falls. Instead of believing that it will be okay provided that you hold it, one should be aware of the reasons why he/she made a purchase, and the duration of time he/she can hold. Personally, I think that patience is the greatest advantage of long-term investors, and FOMO entries are the most significant weakness. Even the market tempests are not so frightening, when you enter with a relaxed head.

Your number of Satoshi remains the same so long you don't spend out of it. The value you see probably in USD or any other currency you use is just a factor of how much one bitcoin is priced at at that point in time relative to the amount of Satoshi that you have. So your bitcoin count is not what is changing just the value in fiat changes.

It's not just for the case of bitcoin only but literally every crypto currency you see on the market including metals too. Where fiat values really change is in the Forex market.

[bitzizzix]

As stated above, the number of coins you own remains the same and will never decrease unless you sell them. If you own 1 BTC, you will always own 1 BTC, whose value will never change and will only decrease as the exchange rate decreases against fiat currencies or the dollar. However, your Bitcoin remains the same.
This is important to understand from the outset to avoid panicking when the Bitcoin price drops and immediately selling it out of fear that your Bitcoin holdings will decrease.
