Can the price of BTC be manipulated by minors? for example if they all decide together to sell every btc the create to lower the price.

user36068: How much represents the total amount of BTC collected by miners compared to the total number of BTC?
Miners collect all the Bitcoin! Some will keep it, some will set it to pay for mining equipment and energy costs. Most miners are probably somewhere in between.
In the beginning miners collected 50BTC per block (plus transaction fees) not then collest 25BTC per block. Soon the reward will drop to 12.5BTC.
Bitcoins are sold, traded and spent. Although miners initially collect all the BTC they do not own most of it in the long term because it circulates around the world to users of all types
