Saylor and Schiff spar on Bitcoin returns as Schiff warns MSTR could crash
Michael Saylor and economist Peter Schiff argued on X on April 5 over how to judge bitcoin’s performance and whether Strategy’s stock (MSTR) is justified. Schiff pointed to BTC’s 12% five-year gain versus MSTR’s 68.5% rise and urged investors to sell before a sharp drop. Saylor countered that longer horizons show stronger results, citing a chart showing bitcoin at a 36% annualized return since August 2020.
