After a 23-day pause, STRC returned to parity at $100, permitting Technique to resume Bitcoin purchases, albeit in symbolic volumes – for the primary time since mid-April, the corporate acquired simply 1.17 $BTC particularly by means of this monetary instrument, in response to knowledge by strc.reside.
Towards this backdrop, one other media duel unfolded between Michael Saylor and Peter Schiff, with the previous evaluating his ecosystem to aviation, the place STRC is an airliner, $BTC is a fighter jet, and MSTR is a rocket. The latter then responded with the standard skepticism, predicting the inevitable “crash and burn” of all three parts.
The issue is that each one three will crash and burn.

Peter Schiff’s radicalism isn’t any shock right here, as he had beforehand known as the STRC mannequin an “apparent Ponzi scheme” sustained solely by dividend fee obligations. In accordance with the gold bug, Saylor would slightly collapse STRC by suspending payouts than start massively promoting Bitcoin.
To be honest, for the primary time in an extended whereas, Peter Schiff’s criticism sounds much less like social media bravado and extra like a realistic calculation.
Why Technique’s 11.5% yield provide may show Peter Schiff proper
Technique’s present obligation yield stands at 11.5%, and that is the place the principle hazard lies: if Bitcoin’s annual development doesn’t exceed this threshold, Michael Saylor’s accumulation technique turns right into a debt-servicing routine.
In such a state of affairs, the corporate could be pressured to not purchase however to promote or collateralize Bitcoin so as to pay coupons to buyers, which was confirmed in the course of the Q1 2026 earnings report, the place the corporate posted a web lack of $12.5 billion attributable to asset revaluation. Each Saylor and CEO Phong Le then confirmed their readiness to promote $BTC each time it advantages the corporate.
As of Might 2026, Technique has discovered itself in a scenario the place elevating new capital prices greater than the return generated by Bitcoin itself. Now, the “Saylor empire’s” $BTC purchases rely not on perception, however completely on $BTC‘s capacity to ship sharp upside within the coming months and its “airliner” to remain at $100 parity.
