Updated: Jan 01 2026- Share Price Plunge: Peter Schiff highlighted that Strategy's shares fell approximately 47.5% in 2025, which not only damaged shareholder value but also exposed investors to risks during market downturns, illustrating the fragility of a business model heavily tied to Bitcoin.
- Bitcoin Volatility Risk: Schiff emphasized that 2025 serves as a clear example of how Bitcoin-linked strategies fail to protect investors, particularly when Bitcoin prices decline, as companies relying on leverage face amplified losses, further proving that Bitcoin is not the safe asset supporters claim.
- Market Reaction: Schiff's remarks sparked intense debate across both crypto and traditional equity markets, with analysts arguing that comparing Strategy to typical S&P 500 companies overlooks its unique position as a leveraged proxy for Bitcoin, where its share price primarily follows Bitcoin's fluctuations rather than traditional revenue or profit metrics.
- Long-Term Strategy Debate: Despite facing short-term losses, supporters of Strategy contend that its Bitcoin accumulation strategy is intended as a long-term hedge against the devaluation of traditional currency rather than a quick trade, suggesting that evaluating its strategy solely based on 2025 performance fails to capture its true objectives.
