On Monday, December 29, 2025, Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy)<\/a> announced its latest Bitcoin purchase. The company had acquired over $100 million worth of the digital asset again, keeping in line with its consistent buying over the years. While Strategy\u2019s large Bitcoin buys have often been a cause for celebration in the crypto community, not everyone believes that this is a good strategy. Mainly, world-renowned economist Peter Schiff has blasted the move, highlighting its profits so far as subpar.<\/p>\n

Strategy\u2019s Bitcoin Move Would Have Been Better With Any Other Asset<\/h2>\n

Schiff\u2019s comments come hot on the heels of the Strategy announcement<\/a>, showing a total of 1,229 BTC was bought at approximately $109 million. The average purchase price for the coins<\/a> came out to around $88,568 once the purchase was done, adding to the already considerable Bitcoin holdings of the publicly-held company.<\/p>\n

Less than 30 minutes after Strategy\u2019s announcement, Peter Schiff took to the X (formerly Twitter) platform to share his thoughts on the move. Mainly, the economist is not impressed with how the company\u2019s Bitcoin bet<\/a> has played out so far, despite sinking over $50 billion into the digital asset.<\/p>\n

Schiff points out<\/a> that despite aggressively buying BTC over the last five years, Strategy\u2019s profits sit at only 16%. Breaking this down over the number of years that the company has been buying Bitcoin, it averages out to around a 3% annual profit on the investment.<\/p>\n

Given this, the economist believes that the company would\u2019ve been better off if it had accumulated any other asset besides Bitcoin<\/a>. Interestingly, the prices of other assets such as gold and silver have hit new all-time highs this year, while BTC has continued to struggle.<\/p>\n

Breaking Down Strategy\u2019s BTC Holdings<\/h2>\n

Presently, Strategy retains its title as the publicly-traded company with the highest amount of Bitcoin holdings<\/a>.\u00a0According to\u00a0data<\/a> from the data aggregation website, CoinGecko, Strategy currently holds 672,497 BTC, which accounts for 3.202% of the total Bitcoin supply.<\/p>\n

\"Strategy<\/p>\n

The entire stack has cost the company a whopping $50.44 billion to accumulate, with an average price of $74,997 at the time of the last purchase. At a 16% profit margin so far, Strategy is currently sitting on over $8 billion in unrealized profits, down from its all-time high of $22 billion in profits when the Bitcoin price crossed $126,000<\/a> back in October.<\/p>\n
