Peter Schiff Predicts Bitcoin (BTC) Price Will Crash to $20K

As an analyst with a background in financial markets and experience following the cryptocurrency space, I find Peter Schiff’s latest prediction on Bitcoin’s price and accusations towards MicroStrategy concerning. Schiff’s long-standing skepticism towards Bitcoin is well-documented, but his recent comments come at a time when the market is experiencing increased volatility and uncertainty.


Peter Schiff, a well-known critic of Bitcoin, recently expressed his belief on the X social media platform that the price of Bitcoin will fall back to around $20,000. Despite this predicted decrease, Schiff considered it a significant price point for the primary cryptocurrency.

If MicroStrategy, recognized as the largest corporation owning Bitcoin, encounters such a situation, they are projected to incur a loss of approximately $3.25 billion on their Bitcoin holdings that has yet to be realized.

Schiff, in addition, has levied allegations against MicroStrategy for potentially influencing the price of Bitcoin, given their significant ownership of approximately 214,400 coins.

After the price of Bitcoin dipped to a low of $60,065 during intraday trading following the relatively lackluster launch of a cryptocurrency ETF in Hong Kong, the gold bug made his latest remark.

On Monday, MicroStrategy announced that its revenue came in at $115.2 million, which was below the anticipated $121.73 million. The company based in Virginia reported a net loss of $53.1 million as well. Simultaneously, its operating expenses surged to almost $299 million.

As a crypto investor, I’ve witnessed MicroStrategy’s remarkable growth this year. Having made its initial investment in Bitcoin back in 2020, the company saw its shares soar with a stunning 71% increase on a year-to-date basis. However, today’s news has cast a shadow over my investment as both the earnings report and Bitcoin’s performance fell short of expectations, leading to a 16% decrease in MicroStrategy’s stock price.

In spite of Bitcoin’s volatile history over the last few years, Michael Saylor, the ex-CEO of MicroStrategy, remains unwavering in his belief. In a recent interview with CNBC, he forecasted that Bitcoin would surpass gold in value.
