Can you get your money out? As far as I know these prices are entirely notional, or maybe you can get only scam money (Tether) for your Bitcoin.

In other news, Coinbase filed for an IPO. Of course you can get your money. It's near-instant with at least the popular exchanges.

Can an institutional investor get $100M+ out without crashing the market?

Microstrategy's $425M buy order was brokered by Coinbase, and it didn't shoot up the price. Anyway, exchanges will usually deny placing such large orders. Institutions use OTC desks instead, and there are plenty of them these days.
