Peter Schiff, Chairman of Euro Pacific Capital, warned that Strategy's Bitcoin buying strategy would lead to a death spiral. He pointed out that the structural flaw of making corporate value excessively dependent on Bitcoin could become a fatal poison during a market downturn.

According to U.Today on April 26 (local time), Chairman Schiff strongly criticized Strategy's actions. He argued that Strategy's method of buying Bitcoin (BTC) by issuing debt or printing additional shares is only effective in a bull market. This is because during a price decline, the fall in collateral value and a sharp drop in stock prices combine, intensifying debt repayment pressure.

Schiff took issue with Strategy absorbing market liquidity and propping up prices. If the Bitcoin price falls below a certain level, Strategy will inevitably face a situation where it has to dump its holdings on the market to repay its debt. He expressed concern, saying, "If a large amount of Bitcoin is released all at once, the entire virtual asset ecosystem could collapse."

Strategy currently holds approximately 214,400 BTC. Chairman Michael Saylor remains firm in his intention to make further purchases, but market opinions are divided. As Bitcoin hovers around the $77,000 mark, the risks of investment strategies using leverage are being highlighted. Investors are keeping a close watch on the possibility of a chain liquidation if a downward correction begins.

Schiff defined Bitcoin as a mirage with no real value and likened Strategy's approach to gambling. He criticized, "If the Bitcoin bubble bursts, Strategy will be recorded as one of the biggest corporate bankruptcies in history." He reiterated his philosophy that only physical assets like gold are true safe havens.

As the volatility of the Bitcoin market expands, a re-evaluation of aggressive corporate investment methods has begun. Strategy's financial structure has now become an inseparable community of fate with the Bitcoin price. Market participants are analyzing the impact of changes in interest rate policy and geopolitical risks in the second half of the year on Strategy's debt management capabilities.
