Top Economist Warns of a Major Risk for Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin Strategy

Peter Schiff, a prominent critic of Bitcoin, has identified large-scale withdrawals from Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as the biggest threat to Michael Saylor’s strategy.

Schiff believes that these redemptions would significantly impact Bitcoin’s price, driving it lower, which in turn would cause even greater losses for companies like MicroStrategy (MSTR), which holds substantial Bitcoin reserves.

Schiff argues that many of the investors buying into Bitcoin ETFs are newcomers to the crypto space, viewing their purchases more as speculative trades than long-term investments.

He points out that these traders may quickly pull out if Bitcoin’s price falls, leading to a sharp drop in value.

This, he suggests, is why Saylor’s decision to heavily leverage MSTR in Bitcoin investments is a risky move. Recently, Bitcoin’s price tumbled to a multi-month low of $86,141, and MicroStrategy’s stock saw a steep decline, falling more than 11%.
