Michael Saylor want to drive bitcoin price low before buying again?

[TastyChillySauce00]

He said company allowed to sell bitcoin to pay dividend is because their STRC, he needs to pay 11.5% dividend to the stock holder and he may sell some of the BTC to pay this dividends.
Saylor is just telling people that such thing is possible and there will be no more "never sell bitcoin" thing again from his end.

That is what he is telling the world that Bitcoin can serve as a financial backup plans and it is only those who can understand this knows the signal he is passing across and by right,  Bitcoin could function is such capacity as dividends on profits to investors. As long as Bitcoin price keeps appreciating, the need to take profit would always arise so possibly the sales of Bitcoin he thought about is the profit he must have gotten which would be shared amongst his stock holders.

This is 2026, and any bitcoiners who still trust in believing any statement made by these people who were once against Bitcoin before seeing the technology as something that can't be destroyed due to how it holds the future of finance, and has the potential to save them from possible government unbanks in the future, are not meant to be in the BTC space.

Don't trust, verify; no matter how the person is in the crypto space, don't trust their word completely without digging into what they truly meant. Saylor is an accumulator, the same as his company, but at the same time, they are business people who are interested in making profit.

That idea of "don't ever sell your bitcoin" has never held the same meaning as what a company meant. dividends needs to be paid. I will say whatever financial decision will profit the company should be taken, but those who blindly follow their step without proper knowledge should do more research.

It is true that statements from big companies and institutional investors like Michael Saylor can easily cause the market to react just with their statements, so most of them try to manipulate the market to their own favour because they know this.

However, in the case of Michael Saylor,  such a behaviour is not known about him. He does not try to manipulate the market like the others, Saylor has been very vocal about his investment strategies and beliefs, deliberate act of trying to manipulate the market is not his pattern.

If the market reacted because of his statement about selling some bitcoins to pay dividends, it is not his fault. The market will always react when these big guys speak.

[LGD2Business]

Can you really blame him for wanting to buy at a lower price? After all the impact his statements can have on the market is limited. I don't think these will make much of a difference in the price. That's his strategy, whether he buys or not is up to him. Believe me, managing billion-dollar funds is no easy task. Speaking negatively about Bitcoin would only hurt him more. The fund isn't made up solely of Bitcoin, it can invest in other assets as well. Why should it be news just because he didn't buy Bitcoin this week? He might have bought bonds one week, these are normal things.

[Hamza2424]

I know he has been saying good things about bitcoin in a way he will not like the price of bitcoin to fall, but recently he said the company can sell some bitcoin to pay dividends, but he posted not quite long ago that they bought bonds this time and not bitcoin.

What if he only want bitcoin price to fall a little so that he can buy at a lower price? Testing how the market may react to their disappointing news.

I am not a guru analyst, but I will say the loss is not irreversible. I might fail to understand the exact meaning of your words because you have made very unclear statements, but so far I have understood that you are asking about the end of the bear market, and I think it will end around mid-2027, so roughly you have to wait for at least 1 year. Because the bull run starts around 2028, but that is not guaranteed, so always do your own research before investing.

To be honest, you will get tired of this very soon. I think this is your first bear run, right? If yes, then you have to wait a little more because bear runs are usually very harsh and they don’t show any mercy. But this one is really merciful on us because the dump was not big and people did not lose a lot in this bear run. I am not counting that 10th October incident.

More assumptions were made over the statement of Michael Saylor. He has mentioned the need of paying 11.5% dividend to the stockholder. Beyond this people believe his statement is to check how market is reacting and does it as a way to buy at the bottom. He's not a guy who bought at the bottom price of bitcoin. He kept accumulating unlike the price. He's a guy who hadn't spoken anything negative about bitcoin. Second largest holder of bitcoin has got the ability to disturb the market. He hadn't done that earlier. What is happening with the market seems like the regular bearish move for the next bitcoin halving.

That is what he is telling the world that Bitcoin can serve as a financial backup plans and it is only those who can understand this knows the signal he is passing across and by right,  Bitcoin could function is such capacity as dividends on profits to investors. As long as Bitcoin price keeps appreciating, the need to take profit would always arise so possibly the sales of Bitcoin he thought about is the profit he must have gotten which would be shared amongst his stock holders.

The problem here is his cost average sitting tight with current price and the dividend he shared toward his STRC holder is taken from new buyers and bitcoin in his reserve functions only as a cushion for their investors, if there is no cash left to pay STRC he'd be selling their BTC reserve to make up for the dividend.

[Muba20]

Most of the time he advised only holding and he has also said that he will only buy Bitcoin but recently his announcement of selling Bitcoin has been controversial. If he had intended to sell, he could have sold in the past but why he sell at this time, so it is natural to have controversy. He wants to sell Bitcoin now and when it is well-publicized in the market, there may be excitement among many investors and at that time there may be a big change in the Bitcoin price. Maybe he is doing something like this to implement this strategy. If this is the strategy, then he will not be able to make much profit because currently when the Bitcoin price decreases, the holders try to buy more. I would believe that he is doing something like this to take some advantage.

[DiMarxist]

I don't think so saylor wants to sell some of strategies Bitcoin holdings in a bid to pay dividends of investors. I don't think that Micheal saylor wants to drive the price of Bitcoin low before buying again, these are just sentiments the people are trying to raise due to the fact that saylor a strong Bitcoin supporter is selling off his Bitcoin holdings. But he has said that he is going to replace every Bitcoin that he has sold.

[nirob mojumder]

Interesting theory, but I think Michael Saylor is a long-term Bitcoin believer. He wouldn't risk his reputation just to buy at a lower price. His strategy has always been to accumulate, not manipulate.

[nirob mojumder]

Good analysis! Saylor's strategy is clearly long-term. Converting debt to Bitcoin holdings shows confidence in BTC as a reserve asset, not manipulation of the market.

[nirob mojumder]

Bitcoin is still the most trusted and decentralized cryptocurrency in the world. No matter how many altcoins come and go, Bitcoin remains the king.

I know he has been saying good things about bitcoin in a way he will not like the price of bitcoin to fall

Did he ever say that though "he wouldnt like the price of Bitcoin to fall"?

What if he only want bitcoin price to fall a little so that he can buy at a lower price? Testing how the market may react to their disappointing news.

Isnt he getting a $50,000 discount off the ATH already? he was already buying regularly and
above $100,000 so why all of a sudden would he want to "drive the price lower"?

Anyway if he does for some strange reason want to to such a thing we will all benefit because
we can buy even cheaper Bitcoin too....isnt that the positive side?

why all the panic threads about MS lately?

[Oshio-man]

I know that people have the mind to make the price of bitcoin to increase higher which is what will just experienced from the comments Michael just made before the price began to increase, over two days now the green light is still standing because some group of investors are waiting for the price of bitcoin to increase back to $100k before they can take income from the market as usual, I fully know that some want to drive this market price to enter bullish season but some don't have the capacity to do that but now that some companies that have the capacity are coming out to do one or two thing to push the green light to remain till next month ending, it will make a lot of bitcoin investors both Short investors and long term investors to be bold and confident to start selling their bitcoin soon.

He could buy at any price, I don't think that is the reason, but it is a good reason. Gladly, the price did not dump even after he moved more than 400 BTC to Coinbase for selling, but instead of a dump, the price of BTC started increasing. And this shows the market did not care much about them selling, which is really surprising because I thought this news could have a negative impact and could start selling pressure on a mass scale. But instead, the price started to go up even though the ETF outflow exceeded $1.5 billion from companies.

There is so much bad going on, but still BTC chose to rise, and the reason is still unclear except the situation changing in a better direction regarding the war. So it is hard to say that war has nothing to do with BTC because now BTC is linked with the Fed, and the Fed is impacted by the war.
