Don't know that he said the announcement would be in blocks.
We believe there are many "third parties" who bought for him, so there are many "blocks", right? 2B here, 4B there, 1B here, 500M there, etc.
If Henry were to buy them all at the same time, even though they are different "blocks", I believe he would be able to announce the total bought back, and then the details would reflect how the total breaks down.
There is no question that if Henry were to announce a bb of a few billion shares, with no additional commitment to billions more very soon after, pps would tank because too many expect the full 20+B to be done at once and the buildup has been going on so long with the DD saying brokers have 20+B shares already accounted for.
Unfortunately, I don't believe those numbers are accurate any longer, and maybe never were.
The third parties, especially those who bought in the trips in 2019 and 2020, are under no obligation to hold the shares indefinitely, and they could have sold them on the open market by now.
