Peter Schiff: “Brutal Bear Market” Looms for Bitcoin Treasuries as MicroStrategy (MSTR) Drops 45%

COINOTAG News on September 26 reported that economist and long-time crypto critic Peter Schiff posted on social media noting that, as corporate treasuries emulate Michael Saylor’s approach, MSTR has declined roughly 45% from its November 2024 high. The observation highlights recent price compression in equities tied to substantial Bitcoin holdings and renewed investor scrutiny of balance-sheet bitcoin exposure.

The move accentuates tangible risks for companies using Bitcoin treasuries as strategic reserves: pronounced mark-to-market volatility, potential strain on liquidity metrics, and heightened sensitivity of corporate valuations during a bear market in crypto assets. Market participants should prioritize transparent disclosures, examine hedging policies and leverage, and reassess capital-allocation frameworks in light of realized and unrealized crypto-related losses.
