Bitcoin‘s Survival Saga: A Comedy of Errors in Financial Strategy 🍿
A gloomy winter morning unfolded in the financial landscape as Peter Schiff, a man perpetually clad in pessimism, sat like an old seer by the bonfire of Bitcoin’s calamities. Once again, he donned the role of a steadfast prophet, wagging his finger at Michael Saylor, who seemed to have exchanged prudence for a smorgasbord of Bitcoin.
“Bitcoin at $89,000? Ha!” exclaimed Schiff, his eyes twinkling like a cynical raven. “One more plummet, and Strategy—the enterprise formerly known as MicroStrategy—will be more dynamic in its unraveling than its namesake’s ambitions.” His words carried the morbid humor you’d find in a play where the hero never quite realizes he’s the farce.
Saylor, Schiff warned, was walking a metaphorical tightrope while juggling 499,096 BTC and billions of dollars in convertible notes. The average buy-in price? A staggering $66,000. “A casual 40% above current market prices,” Schiff quipped, shaking his head. The imagined future was already bleak—a parade of creditors knocking as Bitcoin’s price hovers like a stray leaf in the wind.
When $MSTR trades at a discount to its Bitcoin holdings, in theory @saylor could sell Bitcoin and buy back shares to close the discount. But since doing so would crash Bitcoin and the MSTR share price, he won’t. So the discount will keep widening until bankruptcy forces the sale.

The Stock Price Conundrum: A Plot Thicker Than Sausage Soup
At the heart of this tragicomedy is Strategy’s stock price, a beast tethered to a conversion rate of $433.43 for its most recent convertible notes. Below this value? 💡 Cue the creditors, the sales, the plunging prices—a symphony of doom. It feels almost scripted, like a poorly conceived play where the curtains fall long before the final act can be redeemed.
Schiff’s sly smile grew as he argued, “Even if Saylor wished upon the stars and tried to offload Bitcoin to buy back shares, he would only accelerate the apocalypse. A downward spiral—Bitcoin sinking, Strategy’s stock following suit. It’s like trying to fix a sinking ship with a bit of duct tape and a prayer.” 😅
He chuckled darkly, brushing imaginary dust off his sleeve. It was, after all, the predicament he had forecasted. From this vantage point, Schiff envisioned Strategy’s downfall as inevitable, like the tragic hero in a Chekhov play—forewarned yet powerless against fate. “Bankruptcy? It seems less like an outcome and more like a foregone conclusion,” Schiff remarked, as though amused by the melancholy irony of it all.
One lingering question remains: Will Bitcoin’s wings flutter upward and save Saylor’s ship from complete wreckage? Or will the pages of financial history record this as the most expensive lesson in speculative folly? Time will tell, and Schiff will be there, smiling faintly in the background, notebook in hand. 📓✨
