Schiff Calls Out Bad Math in Strategy's Bitcoin Plan

BitcoinAug 5

Euro Pacific Capital CEO and prominent gold bug Peter Schiff has once again argued that Strategy's "infinite money glitch" is actually fundamentally broken. Almost all articles regarding criticism of $MSTR selling stock to buy Bitcoin point to the fact that MSTR has always sold stock to buy Bitcoin. But that rationalization misses the point of the criticism. Past sales were done at a premium. Current sales are done at a discount. — Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) June 16, 2026 Dealing with a discount For years, Strategy successfully ran a "flywheel" strategy.

Instead of rushing into Spot markets, traders increasingly turned to derivatives. Binance Futures volume surged to $39.5 billion and $35.5 billion in early June, following a similar $42.7 billion spike during February’s selloff.
