The post Peter Schiff Fires Legal Warning at Michael Saylor Over Strategy’s STRC Stock appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin strategy is facing fresh criticism as gold supporter and Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff threatens him with upcoming Lawsuits. He called Strategy’s STRC stock “misleading” and warned it could lead to fraud claims.
He also said investors may face losses and even file lawsuits if dividends are cut or the stock falls.
Schiff Threatens Saylor of Coming Lawsuits
The latest tension started after Michael Saylor shared his Bitcoin accumulation strategy on X . His company has been raising money through STRC perpetual preferred stock, which is designed to stay near $100 and pays monthly dividends with an annual yield of about 11.5%.
Peter Schiff strongly reacted to this move and criticized the structure. He said it could mislead investors and may even be seen as fraudulent.
He warned that if dividends are ever cut or stopped and the stock price falls, investors could sue the company.
“It’s so misleading to constitute fraud. Get ready for the lawsuits when the dividends are cancelled and the stock craters.”
Schiff also repeated his warning that Bitcoin-focused investment strategies carry high risk and said investors should be careful with such financial setups.
Strategy Is Not Slowing Down
Despite the criticism, Saylor has shown zero interest in changing course. Strategy recently used STRC-raised capital to purchase another 23,934 BTC worth $1.76 billion, pushing its total Bitcoin holdings to a staggering 780,897 BTC, valued at nearly $59 billion.
Saylor’s response to all critics has been dismissive:
“If this makes you uncomfortable, it’s working.”
Strategy Stock See Small Spike
Meanwhile, MSTR stock itself closed 3.76% higher at $148.94 on 16th April, helped by broader market optimism around the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire. Even Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, jumped to $76k now trading
around $75K.
But MSTR’s short-term gains do not erase the underlying risks Schiff is pointing to with STRC.
But the real test comes during a downturn.
If Bitcoin falls or funding slows, pressure on STRC could rise quickly. And if dividends are touched, Schiff believes the fallout could be immediate.
