After a 23-day hiatus, STRC returned to $100 parity, allowing the strategy to resume buying Bitcoin, albeit in symbolic amounts. The company earned just $1.17. $BTC Especially through this financial product, according to data from strc.live.
Against this backdrop, another media showdown unfolds between Michael Saylor and Peter Schiff, with the former comparing his ecosystem to aviation, while STRC is a passenger plane. $BTC is a fighter jet and MSTR is a rocket. The latter then reacted with his usual skepticism, predicting the inevitable “clash and combustion” of all three elements.
The problem is that all three collide and burn.

Peter Schiff’s radicalism is no surprise here. He previously called the STRC model a “blatant Ponzi scheme” sustained only by dividend obligations. According to Goldbug, Saylor would rather halt payments and collapse STRC than start a mass sale of Bitcoin.
To be fair, for the first time in a long while, Peter Schiff’s criticism sounded more like pragmatic calculation than social media bravado.
Why Strategy’s 11.5% yield proposal proves Peter Schiff right
Strategy’s current debt yield is 11.5%, but here lies the main danger. If Bitcoin’s annual growth rate does not exceed this threshold, Michael Saylor’s accumulation strategy will turn into a debt repayment routine.
In such a scenario, the company would be forced to sell or pledge Bitcoin rather than buy it to pay coupons to investors, which was confirmed in its Q1 2026 earnings report, where the company posted a $12.5 billion net loss due to asset revaluation. Thaler and CEO von Reh have since confirmed that they are open to a sale. $BTC whenever it benefits the company.
As of May 2026, Strategy finds itself in a situation where the cost of raising new capital is higher than the profits generated by Bitcoin itself. Now, “Sailor Empire’s” $BTC Purchase does not depend on belief, but depends entirely on it $BTC‘s ability to rise sharply in the coming months and that ‘passenger plane’ could maintain parity at $100.
