Saylor’s Promises — Schiff’s Critique
Recently, Michael Saylor, a staunch proponent of Bitcoin BTC/USD, reinforced his beliefs by announcing a new perpetual preferred stock offering named $STRF (“Strife”), specifically designed for institutional investors.
In contrast, Peter Schiff, a well-known critic of cryptocurrency and advocate for gold, dismissed Saylor’s initiative. He remarked, “This is ridiculous. It’s a pathetic Hail Mary to keep the air from coming out of the Bitcoin bubble,” expressing concerns that the potential loss of support from the Trump administration could lead to dire consequences for both Bitcoin and $MSTR.
Amid technical uncertainties and the ongoing Bitcoin discourse, Strategy continues to be one of the most contentious stocks in the market. The outcome of this debate between Saylor and Schiff remains to be seen.
