Peter Schiff Says Bitcoin Price Will Be Below $60,000 When Strategy Hits 5% of Total Supply
Gold advocate and longtime Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff has taken direct aim at Michael Saylor’s most famous prediction, and the math he is using is simple enough to make Bitcoin bulls uncomfortable.

In 2025, Saylor predicted Bitcoin would hit $1 million per coin if Strategy accumulated 5% of the total supply. Strategy currently owns 3.9%, having just added another 3,273 Bitcoin last week at an average price of $77,906 per coin. The company now holds 818,334 BTC acquired for approximately $61.8 billion in total.

If buying the last 231,666 Bitcoin had a certain impact on price, buying the next 231,666 to reach the 5% threshold should have a comparable effect. Based on that logic, Schiff concludes Bitcoin will be trading below $60,000 by the time Strategy reaches its target, not $1 million.

“Bitcoin will be below $60,000 when MSTR finally hits 5%,” Schiff wrote on X, where the post drew more than 56,000 views within hours.

The Exchange That Followed

When one user suggested Saylor should face regulatory scrutiny for making what they called wild financial claims, Schiff added that regulators had been bought and paid for with crypto money, a charge that drew both support and fierce pushback.

When a Bitcoin supporter told Schiff that Bitcoin would inevitably surpass gold and that he would get it at the price he deserves, Schiff responded that he would be able to buy it close to zero if he wanted to.

What Strategy Is Actually Doing

Despite the criticism, Strategy continues to accumulate without hesitation. Last week’s purchase of 3,273 Bitcoin for $255 million between April 20 and 26 was disclosed in an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, pushing the company’s average cost basis to $75,537 per coin.

Bitcoin longs build, but macro pressure mounts – Is BTC’s breakout close?

As Bitcoin [BTC] cooled after a strong rally, underlying flows revealed a clear divergence between selling pressure and accumulation. Price retreated from the $100K–$110K zone toward the mid-$70K range, reflecting short-term uncertainty.

During this phase, mega-whales above 10k BTC distributed roughly 25,500 BTC, locking in gains. However, sharks holding 100–1,000 BTC absorbed about 37,920 BTC over thirty days, offsetting this supply. This rotation shows mid-tier players step in as price weakens, reinforcing a defensive base.

The cryptocurrency market is currently in a quiet and consolidating phase, showing reduced volatility compared to recent moves.
After periods of sharp ups and downs, price action has started to stabilize, indicating that traders are taking a more cautious approach. This kind of market behavior often happens when investors are waiting for the next major catalyst — whether it comes from macroeconomic updates, regulatory news, or institutional activity.
Even though the market looks calm on the surface, such phases are often important accumulation periods where stronger trends are built in the background.

! Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Project Eleven's 1 BTC Q-Day Prize was meant to sharpen the debate over quantum risk to Bitcoin and other ECC-secured crypto assets. Instead, a sharp critique from Google quantum researcher Craig Gidney has turned the competition itself into the story.In an April 25 blog post titled "The predictable failure of the QDay Prize," Gidney, a research scientist on Google's quantum computing team, argued that the winning submission did not meaningfully demonstrate progress toward a cryptographically relevant quantum attack. His central claim was blunt: the contest was structured around a benchmark that current quantum computers are poorly suited to measure. Bitcoin's Quantum Threat Debate Explodes Project Eleven had announced the previous day that it awarded the Q-Day Prize to Giancarlo Lelli for breaking a 15-bit elliptic curve key on publicly accessible quantum hardware. The group described the result as the "largest quantum attack on elliptic curve cryptography to date" and said it represented a 512x jump from a prior 6-bit public demonstration. For crypto markets, the framing mattered. Project Eleven explicitly linked the result to the long-term security assumptions behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more than $2.5 trillion in ECC-secured digital assets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Reclaims Key MVRV Support At $73.7K What Comes Next?But Gidney argued that the test may have proved far less than advertised. Gidney said he was invited last year to participate in the Q-Day Prize but declined because he viewed the premise as flawed. His first objection was that Shor's algorithm requires quantum error correction for cryptographically meaningful instances. "Current quantum computers experience on the order of one error per thousand gates,

Solana clients Anza and Firedancer introduce post-quantum solution Falcon
Two of Solana’s most-used validator clients have implemented a test version of a new post-quantum signature solution, Falcon, to help prepare the Solana network for future quantum threats.

In an announcement on Monday, Anza and Firedancer said Falcon is built for “high-throughput blockchain use” and that it can be activated “if and when the time comes” — an apparent reference to Q-Day, the point at which quantum computers become powerful enough to break public-key encryption.

As the bitcoin price rises, futures may look bearish, but they're not, analyst says
Bitcoin has rallied roughly 14% this month, its best monthly performance in a year, and the consensus is that the price could soon push past $80,000, a level not seen since January.

Yet the perpetual futures market, which is typically in sync with spot price action, is behaving as if the opposite is true. Specifically, the funding rate — a figure that's positive when the futures are positioned for a bitcoin price increase and negative when positioned for a drop — is currently below zero.

That has left market participants searching for an explanation. While many read the divergence as a signal that traders lack confidence in bitcoin's recent performance and are positioned for a drop, that's not the only explanation.

According to 10x Research's Founder Markus Thielen, who predicted a rally to $125,000 way back in early 2023, the situation is, in fact, being driven by hedging activity from institutions. Instead of the shots being called by retail traders, the negative funding rate represents a structural change in the market brought on by the increasing participation of sophisticated players.

Why the funding rate matters

Perpetual futures are contracts that track bitcoin's price without ever expiring, unlike standard futures listed on an exchange like the CME. To keep futures prices tethered to spot prices, exchanges charge a periodic fee, the funding rate.

When the futures prices are higher than spot, meaning buyers are more aggressive in the futures market, longs (investors who own the futures) pay shorts (who've sold contracts they didn't own in expectation they will be able to buy them back at a lower price). In that case, the funding rate is positive.

When futures trade below spot, it's a sign short pressure is dragging futures down relative to actual bitcoin, shorts pay longs and the rate goes negative.
