Peter Schiff slams Saylor’s Bitcoin bet: ‘$10K over market price’
Michael Saylor's company, MicroStrategy, purchased an additional 1,142 Bitcoin for $90 million in February 2026, at an average price of $78,815 per coin, raising its total holdings to 714,644 BTC. This move occurred amid a significant market downturn, with Bitcoin's price falling to around $69,000. Saylor views the price drop as a long-term buying opportunity. However, prominent Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff strongly criticized the purchase, noting the company paid nearly $10,000 above the market price, increasing its average cost and overall risk. He warned that MicroStrategy's heavy reliance on Bitcoin is risky and could lead to bankruptcy. Despite a short-term stock price increase, the company's shares have fallen over 260% in six months, highlighting the ongoing tension between long-term institutional strategy and short-term market pressures.
