Peter Schiff, President of Euro Pacific Capital and a known Bitcoin (BTC) skeptic, demanded 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 on X (formerly Twitter) to debate Saylor on STRC, a performance indicator for Strategy's Bitcoin accumulation. 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, deviating from Bitcoin's value.

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

Saylor has defined Bitcoin as digital gold and has pursued an aggressive buying policy. 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 arguments several 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 and Bitcoin as stores 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 the impact of whether the debate between the two figures will materialize on future investment sentiment.
