American economist Peter Schiff continues to criticize MicroStrategy executive chairman Michael Saylor's Bitcoin accumulation strategy, calling it a 'shell game' and questioning its long-term viability. Despite Bitcoin reaching new record highs, MicroStrategy's share price has experienced a bearish sentiment in the short term, dropping 8% in the past week. Schiff believes that the company's sale of shares to finance additional Bitcoin purchases is propping up its value while contributing to the stock drop. MicroStrategy recently acquired an additional 15,350 BTC for $1.5 billion, bringing its total haul to 439,000 BTC. Schiff argues that Bitcoin does not generate any income to service debt, unlike leveraged real estate investments. Saylor defends his strategy, citing the success of his firm's treasury operations, which have delivered a 'BTC Yield' of 72.4% year to date. Critics like Schiff raise concerns about the long-term sustainability of MicroStrategy's Bitcoin strategy, which heavily relies on Bitcoin's volatile value.
