I would like to sell it soon, but if I do I lose the match for 1 year afterwards. So I’m going to stick it out for a while and see what happens.

However, I am very wary of exposing myself too greatly to the company that I work for. For example, if you own company stock, and you draw a wage, and you're invested heavily in the same sector, etc you are at risk if anything happens to the sector and/or the company. So I would gladly accept the matched contribution but consider selling it soon afterwards. A matching plan is like free money.
