When people sell stock, they usually sell it anonymously (in many small blocks, not all in one moment) through the public stock exchange. Seller and buyer identities are hidden from each other. So no one really knows the answer to this.
Millions of shares of Apple stock are traded every day (avg 65 million). The stock market constantly matches sales orders with buy orders.
It’s not like selling a house or a business. Buffets company sold approximately 510 million shares of AAPL over a 7 month period.
I don’t know exactly how a company liquidates that much stock. But I’m sure they know how to do it.
