Schiff questioned how investors determine value for an asset that does not generate earnings, yield, or measurable economic output.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBitcoiners claim <span>bitcoin<\/span> is cheap. Cheap relative to what? Maybe relative to its bubble high, but not relative to its historic lows,\u201d he wrote, asserting:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWith no earnings, yield, book value, or productive use, <span>bitcoin<\/span> has no valuation anchor. \u2018Cheap\u2019 just means buyers hope a greater fool pays more.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Expanding institutional access through exchange-traded funds (ETFs), corporate treasury allocations, and publicly traded vehicles has intensified scrutiny over <span>bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s valuation framework. The lack of standardized metrics continues to divide market participants.<\/p>\n<p>Many <span>bitcoin<\/span> supporters have dismissed Schiff\u2019s criticism as a long-running <span>bearish<\/span> stance that has consistently underestimated <span>bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s long-term performance. They argue that <span>bitcoin<\/span> should not be valued using traditional metrics such as earnings or book value because it is a scarce, decentralized monetary asset rather than a cash-flow-producing business.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, proponents point to its fixed supply of 21 million coins, growing institutional adoption, expanding ETF participation, and increasing corporate treasury holdings as factors supporting its value, while contending that Schiff has repeatedly predicted <span>bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s collapse despite its appreciation over the past decade.<\/p>\n<h2>Strategy-Linked Securities Deepen Focus on Bitcoin Exposure<\/h2>\n<p>In addition, Strategy Inc. (Nasdaq: MSTR) emerged as a focal point in Schiff\u2019s broader warning. The company\u2019s <span>bitcoin<\/span> treasury strategy has made its stock a widely followed proxy for <span>BTC<\/span> exposure in equity markets.<\/p>\n<p>To finance its accumulation strategy, Strategy has relied on a mix of equity issuance, convertible debt, and preferred shares. This capital structure has tied its market performance closely to <span>bitcoin<\/span> price movements.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_825967\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-825967\" style=\"width:943px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-825967\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Strategy stock (Nasdaq: MSTR) price as of June 24 via Tradingview.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cBitcoiners are way too complacent. $MSTR, the biggest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bitcoin<\/a> owner and its bridge to Wall Street, is collapsing,\u201d the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/bitcoin-vs-gold\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gold<\/a> advocate wrote, claiming:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cShares are down 80% from the peak, 20% in just the last five days.
