My prediction. Michael Sellor will cause the bottom of this bear market 2026!

[bbc.reporter]

Saylor just got the approval he needed to sell $5,000,000,000 worth of Bitcoin. I imagine he will dump this at the absolute worst possible time, so keep your eye open for the coming capitulation in the market as the bottom signal. Extremely likely we’re going to see it in the next 90 days.

Michael Sellor is very headshaking. He is making it appear that this dump of $5 billion of bitcoin from their treasury is fake news then he declares that this was announced already and everyone should not panic hehehehe!

This is similar to his other announcements where he will say we raised more liquid cash reserves, however, does not mention that he dumped bitcoin and MSTR stock.



Michael Saylor says the $5 billion Bitcoin sale story that tore across X (Twitter) this weekend was never news at all. Every dollar of it, he says, was made public a month ago.

The claim spread fast. MicroStrategy (now Strategy) had just won approval to sell up to $5 billion in Bitcoin (BTC), the posts said. Saylor called it old news in a new wrapper.

MicroStrategy announced a new capital plan on June 29, 2026. Inside it sits a BTC Monetization Program. The program lets the company sell Bitcoin. It never makes it.

The plan set four spending limits.

$1.25 billion to rebuild its cash reserve
$1 billion to buy back preferred shares
$1 billion to buy back common stock
About $1.76 billion a year in dividend and interest bills

Add them up and you get $5.01 billion. That is the viral number. It went public five weeks ago.

You guys are talking about it like there are no other strategies that are available to him.

Who knows, maybe he is playing a Mark Cuban strategy....with derivatives?
In short...buy puts, sell calls, then sell the whole 5bil at once...profit.
The size is similar to Cuban's and i am sure either Goldman or Cantor Fitzerald would make such a deal with him.

Overall, I am not sure what is the purpose of MSTR any longer.
To support STRC divvy?
Who gives a s-t about STRC?
Not many people.

If he had any other options available he would take them. He’s selling Bitcoin at a loss, selling common shares in dilutive fashion, and his credit offerings are below par. The situation actually couldn’t get any worse (unless the lawsuits against him gain traction). At least it is a good sign we are near the bottom. Once he sells that $5 billion in Bitcoin it can literally only get better. That will be the time to buy.

Well its possible he want to play that style what Cuban did on other investment matter. But the issue of MSTR is their old financing windows is now gone. Also their balance sheet is tied heavily on the volatility of Bitcoin. I think that sale they made happen, because they don't have a choice since the market is not cooperating on their plans.

If they completely dump that $5B they planned, well yeah that provably marks the bottom and maybe those force sellers will gone. I'm interested to follow what are the next action they do. Since for sure that it will create lots of noise in the scene.

If somehow Michael Seller really dumps $5 billion worth of Bitcoin then that will badly impact the market because many investors in fear will also sell their Bitcoin at loss and that will create a bigger dip in the market.

Of course Seller will do that on purpose to accumulate more Bitcoin in low value to get better average value because he knows very well that weak hands will keep selling if they see $5 billion worth Bitcoin dumped from Strategy.

I really don't trust such influencers and I think it's going to be another opportunity for us to accumulate if something like that happens because we won't have such chances always so it's better to take proper decision if we see such bottoms.

Yes, he might be using is influence on the bitcoin community and his followers and cause pumps and dumps repeatedly and profit from this heheheh. I reckon that an announcement of an SEC investigation will certainly cause another occurrence of fear on the market.

On MSTR, the purpose of this is to issue more and dump on the market and dilute the MSTR stockholders to get more dollars and pump STRC.

On STRC, agreed that many people do not anymore care for this. However, the company behind this is the biggest institutional holder of bitcoin. The failure of Michael Sellor's experiment can cause him to dump and dump causing more fear on the market. People should be concerned!

But this reminds me of the time when Elon Musk was trying to do the same with Dogecoin and I figured that the market became less and less sensitive to his pump and dump paroles. Saylor will be able to play that card a couple of times, but the impact will decrease over time. It was the same for so many types of news, whether good or bad, that those that got repeated nonstop eventually got ignored.

Michael "Sellor", as you call him, has this strange advantage that the stock is still trading at a premium and unless investors lose full confidence, he would be able to buy cheap bitcoin all the way down to, I don't know, 20k? A panic drop to those ranges could actually be the big opportunity everyone was waiting for and Strategy more aggressive than ever before. That's why there could be some value in making bitcoin drop significantly, and even more so when he has plans ready by now with institutional investors who are looking for lower entry points.

His stock hasn't traded at a premium in quite some time.  Every sale he makes and every dividend he pays has come directly out of the pocket of his shareholders.  Nothing he is doing benefits anyone and buying the tops and selling the bottoms isn't reducing volatility.  He is doing the exact opposite of everything he said he would do and people are still pretending like this was part of the plan.  I guess we can only be thankful for the cheap sats Saylor will bring us and for the bubble tops he helps inflate for us to sell.

I also think it's just too risky to assume that there's only one possible outcome

Michael Saylor has been in the market for long and for someone with his amount of holdings, if selling $5 billion worth of Bitcoin will directly hurt the value of the rest of his accumulation, I don't think he will want to carelessly execute such sell.

He'll likely look for better alternatives to raise funds in such a way that it'll not have much negative impact on the market.

investors should not give much attention to these type of stories but should continue to hold. What we should know is that Michael saylor is a business man. Him selling his holding of Bitcoin should not be miss interpreted as dumbing strategy as a company has to sell and balance their books and strategy has already made this clear to everyone.

The market is definitely going to reacts negatively towards these types of moves, if eventually strategy go ahead and sells again we are going to see the price of Bitcoin slip down the more.but that is actually be a good news especially for investors because when there is a drop of price, it an opportunity for investors to accumulate at a more cheaper rate which will mean more accumulation.

What I feel about these types of News is that they are actually a distractions people should not give much attention to this types of news telling people about a likely fall in the price of Bitcoin. It's going to discourage the mind of new investors who may not be mentally fit to seeing such news.

Well yes, but can't he play that game back and forth like ping pong for quite a while? mNAV < 1, sell BTC and buy back shares, mNAV > 1, issue shares and buy BTC. I know this is a narrow view of reality and it feels like he seems to be running a casino, but if he gets some of the calls right, survives a possible crypto winter and is able to keep most of the BTC, he could win big especially if he somehow comes up with a new fairytale that investors believe and trade that stock at a premium again.

Based on what they own now and what they would have to sell to serve their debt and dividend obligations, they could survive for a pretty long time. Wouldn't it need more of a black swan event to see them really get into trouble? More like a 60% crash and then sustained stagnation in the BTC price for years? Short sellers could become an issue on top of this perhaps, but they have burned their fingers in the past.

He could do that for a while, but for sure he cannot consistently repeat such action.

Because that strategy will only work is liquidity will remain strong and also if lots of investor will continue to believe on his thrown reasons or stories, then also we don't see Bitcoin price going to crash and became stable for many years.

Strategy have asset to survive at current state, but if long decline happen on BTC like it experience like a sharp drop this is real dangers comes on them.

It is headshaking that there are people similar to you who are defending Michael Sellor. Are you one of these people who followed his advice and sold a kidney hehehehe.

In any case, you should try to defend Sellor on the holders of MSTR stock who are getting diluted. However, I speculate that there will be a future where Sellor will sell more bitcoin to buy MSTR stock. He might be the cause of a weaker pump on the next bull market because this time he might be the big holder who will dump when the market is pumping hehehehe.
