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

[Ambatman]

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.

He didn't buy government bond
But convertible bonds
Debts that they incured when they borrowed money to buy Bitcoin
Which is supposed to be due by 2029

It's also best to announce that they're going to sell some BTC,

It's counter productive
Where would he see the funds If Bitcoin falls he loses more since MSTR would fall more
So it's in his benefit for Bitcoin to rise except what he posts are just rehypothecations.

as opposed to just selling and people figuring it out through onchain data

From what I can recall Arkharm don't know all their addresses so even if they do I doubt we would notice
Except they state it
This was why investors were pushing for  a POR last year.

No he can't  do that, MSTR is tied to it and he's counting on Bitcoin to ease it when the time comes . Even he wants to do that,  it has to be classified and hidden and i don't  think what's not on record can  really cause a significant drop but what can I say.

Not 2029, it's going to due by 2028 starting with the 2028 Convertible  Notes but early repurchase can be required already starting  from late 2027:

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the Convertible Notes in cash or to repurchase the Convertible Notes for cash upon a fundamental change or to repurchase the 2028 Convertible Notes on September 15, 2027, the 2029 Convertible Notes on June 1, 2028, the 2030A Convertible Notes or the 2031 Convertible Notes on September 15, 2028, the 2030B Convertible Notes on March 1, 2028, or the 2032 Convertible Notes on June 15, 2029, and any future debt may contain limitations on our ability to engage in cash-settled conversions or repurchases of Convertible Notes
holders of Convertible Notes have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their notes on the following dates with respect to the following Convertible Notes: September 15, 2027 (2028 Convertible Notes), June 1, 2028 (2029 Convertible Notes), September 15, 2028 (2030A Convertible Notes and 2031 Convertible Notes), March 1, 2028 (2030B Convertible Notes), and June 15, 2029 (2032 Convertible Notes), in each case, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

Arkham Intelligence only do their on chain analyses and try to tag addresses which they consider as Strategy's addresses but there are ones they don't know yet.

SAYLOR SAID HE WOULD NEVER REVEAL HIS ADDRESSES ... SO WE DID

Perhaps Arkham did their jobs mainly by basing on announced purchasing amount of bitcoin by Strategy but I doubt that their works are accurate 100%.

His company, MSTR, holds many Bitcoins, 843,738 BTC (Data: Bitcointreasuries.net). His company is ranked #1 on the list of public companies that hold the most Bitcoin. I think saying Michael Saylor is trying to dump the market to buy BTC cheaper is just raw speculation that is unlikely true. Because I am sure he knows his and his company's power in the Bitcoin community. If he did it on purpose and it goes well, then it's good for him. But what if it causes an uncontrollable drawdown? How can he handle it with massive Bitcoin holdings in his and his company's bags?

[Razmirraz]

I highly doubt it. If we look at each time he announced buying Bitcoin, one could easily see that it's not calculated at all. So if he wanted to do that, he would've done it before but instead, he just buys bitcoin aggressively, at all times.

It's also best to announce that they're going to sell some BTC, as opposed to just selling and people figuring it out through onchain data

True, I also don't think Michael Saylor wants to lower the price of bitcoin before buying again because his position is very different from that of a regular trader. Logically, if the value of Bitcoin drops by 10%, then he will experience a loss of billions of dollars in a day, he cannot carry out this strategy at all because the new purchase is only to cover the loss of the large amount of Bitcoin he has already stored, so in mathematical terms his actions are completely unbalanced.

MicroStrategy current position is almost similar to a Bitcoin ETF, but in the corporate version, their shares naturally fluctuate with Bitcoin price movements. So, if he follows this pattern, he will naturally hope that Bitcoin's value will continue to rise. His goal is to maintain the trust of MicroStrategy investors. He can also issue convertible bonds to accumulate more Bitcoin.

If I'm not mistaken, I assume he's also maintaining a more positive narrative, such as "Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset," so that other companies will follow his lead. If Bitcoin value continues to rise, his company will reap huge profits. In my opinion, it is impossible for him to intentionally spread FUD to lower the price of Bitcoin because that would be like shooting himself in the thigh.

Yesterday, Michael Saylor tweeted from the official X account that he will not buy Bitcoin this week, meaning that Michael Saylor announced that he will buy bonds this week.
This tweet by Michael Saylor suggests that he will buy Bitcoin if Bitcoin is dumped again, meaning that Michael Saylor drove the Bitcoin market downward before buying Bitcoin. So it can be understood that Michael Saylor acts as an influencer for the Bitcoin market, although in this case there is a high possibility of negative influencing.

[freedomgo]

Michael Saylor has been consistently obvious on his goal. He has been more aggressive in buying bitcoin every now and then, even if the price is at its high peak. So I don't think he wants to drive bitcoin price low by selling a portion of bitcoin. But maybe if he starts selling his bitcoin, most likely he also has another investment on his mind, and would also want to maximize its market entry.

However, investing in bonds is a good diversification from bitcoin. And we can expect 5-10 years from now, Michael Saylor will be ultimately rich because of his smart strategies and wise mindset.

[mirakal]

I don't see it that way. Michael Saylor has shown relentless dedication in buying bitcoin regardless of its current price. That only proves that he is exceptionally dedicated to accumulate bitcoin and maximize it as much as he can.

However, he is currently opting to buy treasury bonds and still paused its aggressive buying of bitcoin. If any time he will sell a portion of his bitcoin hodlings, that's also part of his strategy, not to make the price fall, nor to abandon his cryptocurrency investment.

Well they didn't change their company name to strategy for nothing. This makes it sound like a well thought out game he is playing with buying and selling.
When I first heard he was going to dump some of his company's holdings I thought he was partially rethinking his prior statement of never selling his bitcoins.
But then it makes a little more sense if he is purchasing bonds with those funds because he does have commitments to keep to his customers in making their investments grow and not decline. So he had to make a move like this at some point inorder to have something to show at the next shareholders meeting and keep them content.

[Maslate]

Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy have informed the public that they might be selling minor portions of their bitcoin not to make the price crash and make maximum purchase, but to pay their debt obligation and cover their dividends. So selling bitcoin is part of their plan, but not to intentionally create a huge price drop for bitcoin.

And with their new line of investment entering treasury bonds, they already announced it that they may paused from buying bitcoin momentarily so they can also allocate a bigger entry for acquiring bonds. However, that does not stop Michael Saylor to stay highly bullish from bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market.

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.

When Michael Saylor made a plan to buy more, he made unnecessary news about Bitcoin. He could buy more Bitcoin, but Michael Saylor will not sell his accumulated Bitcoin right now, and he is still aggressively buying Bitcoin. So I believe that there can never be a secret behind this aggressive Bitcoin selling, so they will not sell Bitcoin but will buy more Bitcoin and hold it for the future.

Micheal Saylor said that strategy cannot continue to buy and buy without selling. It will definitely send a wrong message to the industry. So, strategy will have to buy and also sell.

Your brain is out of your head if you can not post politely. Make your own opinion politely, not that you will turn this forum to a place of superiority. I know about Michael Saylor years ago but I am posting about if there can be possible institution manipulation. If you post like this, you do not know what people can do, you have a primitive brain.

A primitive brain, you fucking mongoloid? You're the one who pulled that idea out of your ass—that Saylor wants the price to drop so he can buy low. If you had even the slightest understanding of the subject, you wouldn't have thought to ask such a stupid question. But you're not just showing your ignorance; you're demonstrating a complete lack of understanding of the subject.

You just have to look at the purchase history to see that it's bullshit, but of course that's too complicated for someone whose brain is full of crap instead of rational thoughts to understand.

Lookt at you, so you believe that Saylors good news is enough to hold Bitcoin bullishness? That's a lie, even if no single bad news comes the market will still dump, I guess people don't know about the chart very much.

Bitcoin is just in a bearish market and no amount of good news can flip it back to bullishness for now, everyone is free to believe in what they want though and this is my opinion.

By the way, his stated is about selling some Bitcoin, it's not like he is selling everything, make no mistakes, these people have the power to cause confusion, be smart and look the other way, DCA and avoid such news for your own good.

I am expected that to happen. They've got investors and MicroStrategy's money for purchasing bitcoin isn't directly from Michael Saylor and that's why when it's time to pay back their obligations to their investors, that is anticipated. It's possible that he wants both of it, to make the price fall but at the same time to pay the dividends so which means it's both advantage for him on this scenario. Him and his company is very positioned well in the market and whatever he does is going to benefit him the most even it means controlling or manipulating it.

[SuperBitMan]

It is true that’s his one of those who are aggressively accumulating bitcoin but I don’t think he has ever done something just to drop the price of bitcoin in order to buy more when the price is low or when theirs a dip in bitcoin, if someone like him really wants to do something about the price of bitcoin getting low I believe he would actually do something more better that will make people believe he wants to sell of all his bitcoin since majority of people in bitcoin are actually looking up to him and may be believe him .

[Z-tight]

No, that idea cannot be right. Strategy has been buying BTC for more than five years now and they have been making these purchases irrespective of what the price is or the market condition. So it is wrong to believe he is trying to manipulate the market to get 'cheap' coins right now. I and a lot of others disgaree.

This kind of idea usually originates when people overthink what whales and big companies say or do with their coins.

A person like Michael Saylor holds a lot of power in his words because he and his company owns a lot of Bitcoin and somehow if he talks about selling Bitcoin then that can really impact the market and created fud in minds of other holders.

They start panic selling without knowing that the one who said those words was tricking them so he and his company could accumulate more Bitcoin for cheap rates.

There's chance that in next few weeks or months he or his company might sell a few Bitcoin only to manipulate the market so they could literally accumulate more Bitcoin at cheaper value.

[FirmWars]

I don't think that's his intentions, if really it was then he would have even employed a different strategy that will really work, imagine he used a different trick by saying that the company would sell 80% of their holding and then use the money to buy stocks, that news might be the one that will cause price to dip and then he uses the opportunity to buy more, after which he come again to say, they have decided not to sell again but to buy more since the share holders agitated for more Bitcoin instead of stocks 🤷‍♀️. I think if that was his intentions, he would use a strategy that will favour him.

i also saw is tweet of repurchasing and that is what usually happen influence is a really big thing when it comes to buying bitcoin and people like Michael Saylor and others will do everything in there favour because the market crashes he buys and its always stating it in his tweet, and did you see the number of bitcoin that is been bought at this point, and one thing i love about Michael Saylor is his consistency in buying there is a lot of energy going in to that place, Michael Saylor influence in the market is bigger and the way things might be at this point is for us to fllow the man footsteps if he buys we buy.
