Wasn't a big deal to me when they bought, isn't a big deal to me if they sell. These are speculators -- oh, sorry, investors -- not users, not believers. They'll move on to the next thing they think rakes in the dough, move back in when everyone else has sold when the medium-term upside looks rosy again.

Next, please?

ETF always looking for ways to convince weak holders to lose their Bitcoin so they can own it cheaper, if not tell me how a company that's known to be one of the strongest holder that people use an example to encourage people concerning holding would suddenly start dumping massively, make it make sense.
 Like why would they worry about a big crash, have they suddenly turn weak holders? Those are the questions people should think of before rushing to sell cause a news popped up concerning a big holder that's selling cause of a possible big crash in the near future. All these a just news to manipulate people into selling.

As I said in my post, and as Lucius and stompix say in even clearer terms -- BR's just holding for speculators (ahem, investors). How much they have or don't have isn't a board decision, but their investors. So... it's not about them being a strong holder, it's just their way of working (holding actual coin for their clients).

So if people (other speculators) act on what others are doing, it makes sense they'd copy BR. Which has always been the way it works with or without BR. So, yeah, non-news for me. Never has been.

Next, please!

BlackRock "buying" and "selling" Bitcoin isn't really what people probably think it is.  They are buying and selling based on the holdings of their ETF.  So it isn't really them selling as much as it is their clients who are trading the ETF and causing buying or selling based on the holding amount of the fund.  It isn't like BlackRock is speculating on the market with these trades.

So is BlackRock selling BTC?  Obviously, as their ETF sees outflows.  That is how it works.  Is it their BTC they are selling?  No.

That’s right. People often get confused about ETF inflows and outflows and think that BlackRock is speculating by trading its own Bitcoin. The truth is that the ETF manager just changes the BTC positions according to the demand of the investors. So, whenever investors purchase ETF shares, the ETF buys more BTC, and whenever the investors sell the shares, the ETF liquidates them. It’s all about what the clients do and not what BlackRock thinks about the market. That’s why people can get easily misled if the news states that BlackRock dumps Bitcoin. Instead of panicking because of those news, it makes more sense to check the ETF inflow and outflow data, on-chain stats, and other factors that can influence the market.
