Peter Schiff, President of Euro Pacific Capital, known as a Bitcoin (BTC) skeptic, called for a public debate with Michael Saylor, Chairman of Strategy, pointing out the risks of Bitcoin investment strategies.

According to U.Today on April 23 (local time), Schiff proposed a debate with Saylor via X (formerly Twitter) on STRC, Strategy's Bitcoin accumulation performance indicator. Schiff criticized the vulnerability of corporate financial structures exposed to Bitcoin price volatility. He argued that Saylor's optimistic outlook poses real risks to investors. In particular, he emphasized that Strategy's stock price movement was overvalued and detached from Bitcoin's value.

As an advocate for gold investment, Schiff has maintained that Bitcoin has no intrinsic value. He warned that Saylor's proposed Bitcoin standard strategy would exacerbate market supply and demand imbalances and threaten corporate survival in the event of a large-scale sell-off. This debate proposal is interpreted as an attempt to pressure Saylor, as Strategy's stock price has shown weakness compared to the index despite the recent rise in Bitcoin's price.

Saylor has continued an aggressive buying policy, defining Bitcoin as digital gold. His logic is that Bitcoin is superior to traditional financial assets as an inflation hedge. Schiff countered that this logic is an illusion valid only when market liquidity is abundant. The two figures have engaged in online debates multiple times in the past, but this is the first time a specific debate proposal based on a particular performance indicator has been made.

Schiff's provocation has reignited the debate over gold versus Bitcoin as a store of value in the market. Strategy's Bitcoin holdings are considered a factor that increases market volatility among institutional investors. Market participants are closely watching how the outcome of the debate between the two figures will affect future investment sentiment.
