Schiff criticized <span>bitcoin<\/span> and Strategy\u2019s stock performance, questioning its sustainability. Saylor defended <span>BTC<\/span>\u2019s long-term strength, emphasizing broader evaluation periods and structural demand.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff stated: \u201cDespite <span>bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s mere 12% rise over the past five years, MSTR is up 68.5%, outperforming the NASDAQ. But that\u2019s not due to <span>bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s performance. It\u2019s due to investors\u2019 willingness to overpay for MSTR so Saylor could keep overpaying for <span>bitcoin<\/span>. Sell MSTR before it crashes.\u201d The <span>gold<\/span> bug added in another X post:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOver the past five years, the price of <span>bitcoin<\/span> is up by just 12%. Over the same time period, the NASDAQ is up 57.4%, the S&amp;P 500 is up 59.4%, <span>gold<\/span> is up 163%, and silver is up 181%. If the appeal of <span>bitcoin<\/span> is its superior long-term performance, why should anyone keep HODLing it?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Saylor replied to Schiff by emphasizing that evaluating <span>BTC<\/span> requires selecting appropriate timeframes, highlighting stronger performance over longer horizons. The chart he shared shows <span>bitcoin<\/span> leading with a 36% annualized return since August 2020, followed by <span>gold<\/span> at 16%, QQQ, which tracks the Nasdaq-100 index, at 15%, and SPY, an S&amp;P 500 exchange-traded fund, at 14%. Real estate exposure through VNQ, a real estate investment trust ETF, appears at 5%, while bonds, represented by BND, a total bond market ETF, show a negative 1% return.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Schiff Doubles Down on Strategy Risks as Saylor Signals Institutional Shift<\/h2>\n<section class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [&amp;:has([data-writing-block])&gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-(--header-height)\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"de04c8c8-5a11-48f4-80f6-19a350ef1ba2\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-17\" data-scroll-anchor=\"false\" data-turn=\"user\"\/>\n<section class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [&amp;:has([data-writing-block])&gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:9175bf1d-ff51-47fa-8585-fdd09eb828ff-8\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-18\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-1\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"0\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"ca995c09-48ad-4542-8f22-2980fd89741d\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-3-instant\" data-turn-start-message=\"true\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word light markdown-new-styling\">\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"704\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Schiff has repeatedly criticized Strategy\u2019s BTC-focused approach, with earlier remarks echoing his current concerns about sustainability. On March 9, he shared on X that Strategy\u2019s model relies heavily on continued capital inflows. He asserted: \u201cThe <span>bitcoin<\/span> pyramid is being propped up by MSTR, which pays an 11.5% yield on STRC to keep buying. As more STRC shares are sold, Strategy burns ever more cash. Once that cash is depleted, Saylor will have to choose between suspending the dividend or selling <span>bitcoin<\/span> to pay it.\u201d This earlier criticism aligns with his broader argument that Strategy\u2019s valuation depends on sustained investor demand rather than underlying fundamentals.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-start=\"1896\" data-end=\"2347\">Saylor, on the other hand, detailed on April 4 his broader outlook of <span>BTC<\/span>\u2019s role in global markets.
