Don't mistake the move from Microstrategy as Panic selling.

[JiiBs]

There has been a lot of threads on the forum concerning Michael Saylor, and strategy his company for their recent selling of about 32 BTC. A lot of people have described this move from saylor as due to fear. Some even see Micheal saylor investment in Bitcoin as a financial gamble or experiments which is risky to saylor and strategy his firm.

I hope you might provide some of those instances where users on the forum attributed Microstrategy’s need to sell 32BTC due to panic.

The much I’ve read is how this impacted the public, leading to panic sales. In essence, it isn’t Microstrategy that is panic selling but, the smaller investors in the space.

For MS, this is just one way to cash in on some of those holdings pending whatever need that might warrant this action and that is completely okay investment wise.

Big companies may still experience panic selling and call it liquidating or executing stop-loss orders, but I think this is more real with the average investors in the market. And once they panic sell, losses become unbearable after, unlike with big companies where they always have back-up plan reserved for it.

But is this actually panic selling? I don't think that's the right word. They have already intention to sell prior to the price dump, so definitely that was never made because they are into panic selling.

Say Microstrategy panics and sell every thing they are holding.  Why would it change any thing about the way you see Bitcoin?  Are you in Bitcoin because Saylor is?  We went through so many ups and downs before him and Bitcoin has no thing to do with a particular someone like Satoshi, Saylor or anyone else.

People may panic if he sells.  But so many people are so attached to the significant investment Saylor made that they are on a constant 'hopium' mood where Saylor selling is to them as stress provoking as the thought of their life partner breaking up with them.  Hell.  Saylor is not the Jesus of Bitcoin, wake up.  Keep purchasing Bitcoin if you want to hold some hard money and let the rest do what ever they want!

What we must copy from Microstrategy is their being buyers from the dip - this is what I just did last week, instead of me panic selling, I instead bought more Bitcoin for my bags!

Many are complaining that why Microstrategy sold, but for me it just a good thing and even a lot of expert said it's fine, and even Michael Saylor, it's just because they want to tell to people that they are liquid, means what they spend of billion of dollars has value in Bitcoin.

Strategy has done their routine buying of Bitcoin at value around ~100 million dollar recently. If they are panic selling, they won't be buying Bitcoin again.

The Bitcoin they sold off at recent sale is nothing compared to this and that shouldn't make a fuss anymore.

Anyone not overly pessimistic with Bitcoin know that Saylor isn't jumping off from the ship, he is still onboard and might be buying more Bitcoin soon with his preferred stocks sales.

I am not surprised by this because anyone that is caught selling when bitcoin price is in a downward trend is instantly labeled as panic selling, and MicroStrategy is never excused to that. Maybe their timing is wrong selling 32btc while its price is low, they could have waited longer and just sell when bitcoin price has recovered.

However, just my own thought, they could have even bought a massive amount of bitcoin when it was priced $103k and $106k and have no regrets with that, which means they can always chose to sell bitcoin even at its bearish price. So obviously, this isn't panic selling. This is just part of their strategy plan, what's most important is they will surely buy more bitcoin and hold them for its future use, the amount they have sold was just a small portion of their bitcoin holdings.

Am writing this thread because, in recent times I have seen comments and many people both on the forum and off the forum laughing and talking about the recent move which saw microstrategy sell parts of their Bitcoin holding. It should be put straight that Micheal saylor and strategy didn't sell part of their holdings due to Panic as a result of the current price. Just know that anyone discrediting Bitcoin because of this move from microstrategy is not too informed about Bitcoin because Michael saylor, is one of the few people who inspired the institutionalization of Bitcoin.
Don't mind the noise makers around you, keep accumulating because the good times are on the way.

No matter the reason why Michael Saylor sold part of his Bitcoin, we should understand he is human; anybody can make mistakes, and anyone can change. His decision to sell shouldn't be the reason to give up on following the right path in Bitcoin investment. Michael Saylor is not the standard to look to in Bitcoin investment, which people should consider.

The standard that every investor should adhere to is to just keep hodling and accumulating Bitcoin. This is the standard every investor should follow, and they should not rely on any other investor because someone who is investing in Bitcoin and buying a good amount can change their approach for many reasons. If Michael Saylor decides to sell all his Bitcoin, that is his own decision and not a standard that should affect other people's investments.

I don think that any Bitcoin investor that knows that microstrategy can come up with any strategy to rebuy in a reduced price will ever think that the panicked sell.
Whales sometimes act smartly to make some unbelievers panick, when the news about the sell made by microstrategy came I laughed because I understand the game they were actually playing, that is why Bitcoin is for smart people, instead shouting where the price is heading to, I think the best decision anyone can make for himself at this time is to buy as much as they can, the opportunity is now here, ther has been a kinda rise and drop since yesterday but the only advice I have for those that are waiting for the price to drop to $40k is to buy now because it might drop to that point this time.

The panic will only lead to more losses, Some people are afraid of Saylor's sale because they think it will have a big impact on the price of Bitcoin.
Even though it is an opportunity to buy at a lower price.

For some reason, people have to stress about Saylor's sales, even though there are some downside impacts that occur,
this is because retailers follow the selling trend, and there continues to be a decline.

Microstrategy wanted to get a cheaper price, so they sold some of their Bitcoin holdings to influence market prices and retailers started panicking.
Once the sale is successful and the market continues to fall, then Strategy will buy again defensively at a cheaper price.

I think the OP late to bring this discussion. After Strategy sold 32 BTC, the company later bought 1550 BTC which is far higher than the amount sold. Also Strategy is having over 840000 BTC.

Thats like 50x the amount sold when you estimated it. People only look on the crumbs that Saylor and his firm have sold but not their hpldings. Technically Microstrategy is one of the biggest holder of bitcoin and that conviction alone put them on top OG of bitcoin. Ive seen different articles and post on X regarding that 32 btc sold but seriously? Thats not even a threat and only equivalent to some volume on huge top tier cex.
