Like I have told some other people discussing this topic, I find that we should take the Kotaku article that reported this with a grain of salt. Meaning that we should totally accept this as something that is believable. I say this due to recent events with Kotaku reporting that Twitch was bought by Google(whereas weeks later it was officially announced that Twitch was bought by Amazon) So the reliability of the article is very low in my book given that they have been known to make false statements. Furthermore, most of their reports are based on rumors and contain very little reliable, factual information. So before jumping to conclusions and causing drama, it is always good to do your research 
Furthermore, it is unwise that Mojang would even consider selling its company. It is one of the largest and well-known video games of this day and age and sells around 10k-100k copies a day(This fact is based off of what was said during the whole "EULA" fiasco. I am not positive on the exact estimation Mojang claimed but I do know it was around the 10k-100k mark) Which would indicate that they make what they have been offered in a matter of months. From a business standpoint, it would be immensely stupid to sell an ongoing profitable company for something that they can easily make within the year.
To answer your question IF Microsoft were to buy Mojang, it could go two ways with how Minecraft would end up. They could either: a) leave the Minecraft property and Mojang alone altogether and just make profits of Minecraft as well as take it away from Sony and make it Microsoft exclusive. or b) try and control the way the games run and make users run on their platform in order to turn it into their own property. The wisest decision, I think, would be "a" since that is kinda what big companies are known to do. They simple, by out a company and just claim revenue on that property in order to create funds for future projects.
Really, it all boils down to Mojang as a core and our faith that they have our best interests in mind. I think that this is all just a scare like Twitch with Google and that it will blow over in the upcoming days and we will move on to the next company movement to talk about and create controversy since history is known to repeat itself. If anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns feel free to reply and i'll get back to you. These are my thoughts and I hope somebody at least learns from it. Hope everyone understands what I have said and that you have a great rest of your day!
