Peter Schiff: ‘Bitcoin? I’d Have Chosen a Rock!’

by

So, Peter Schiff, the guy who’s basically the human version of a “Not My Problem” sign, is all up in arms about Strategy Inc’s Bitcoin bet. Like, really, what’s the big deal? 🤯

Peter Schiff questions Strategy’s Bitcoin returns after five years

With Bitcoin’s current price, Schiff notes that Strategy’s “paper profit” is a measly 16%. Because nothing says “investment” like a 16% gain that’s basically a “meh” on a scale of 1 to 10. 📉

Over five years, it’s only averaged a 3% return. Schiff is like, “Michael Saylor, you chose Bitcoin? What were you thinking? It’s like buying a toaster and expecting it to fly you to Mars.” 🚀

Strategy has been buying Bitcoin for five years. With an average cost of $75K, the company has a “paper profit” of just 16%. That’s an average annual return of just over 3%. $MSTR would have been much better off had @Saylor bought just about any other asset instead of Bitcoin.

“Strategy would have been much better off had Saylor bought just about any other asset instead of Bitcoin,” he wrote. Which is basically a love letter to every other asset class. 🤡

Schiff claims the bet on Bitcoin hasn’t paid off, considering the massive regular purchases. Because nothing says “smart investing” like throwing money at a volatile asset that’s basically a financial rollercoaster. 🎢

He calls Bitcoin’s volatility and risk responsible for the poor performance, suggesting other, less volatile assets could have yielded better returns. Which is like saying, “Don’t jump off a bridge-just walk.” 🚶‍♂️

This stance highlights the critic’s long-standing skepticism toward Bitcoin. The gold advocate has never missed an opportunity to take a swipe at Bitcoin, particularly when there’s market stagnation or volatility. Because nothing says “I’m right” like a 28.5% drop. 🧠

In November 2025, when Bitcoin plunged below $90,000, Schiff called BTC’s “digital gold narrative” a fraud. Because nothing says “trust me” like a cryptocurrency that’s more volatile than a teenager’s mood. 😂

Bitcoin price slips as Strategy expands BTC holdings

As of press time, Bitcoin is changing hands at $87,388.18, which represents a 0.54% decline in the last 24 hours. Because nothing says “I’m stable” like a 0.54% drop. 📈

The asset has fluctuated between a low of $86,717.92 and a daily high of $90,299.16. Despite a massive volume surge, it’s still basically a financial tightrope. 🕷️

Bitcoin’s trading volume is up by 207.78% to $42.09 billion, suggesting active exchange on the market. Because nothing says “active” like a 200% increase in trading. 🤝

Schiff warned investors against betting on Bitcoin, calling it trapped in fragile liquidity. Because nothing says “I’m helpful” like a warning that’s basically a “don’t do it” with a side of sarcasm. 🚨

As U.Today reported, Strategy made its biggest purchase in the last five months around mid-December. The firm added 10,645 BTC to increase its total holdings to 671,268 BTC. Because nothing says “confidence” like buying a ton of something that’s basically a financial rollercoaster. 🎢
