Peter Schiff warns Bitcoin could drop to $20,000, criticizes Strategy's stock sale amid BTC holding risks.

Economist Peter Schiff predicts Bitcoin's price could fall to as low as $20,000, citing resistance near $65,000 and support around $58,000. He criticized Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) for raising $450 million through stock issuance instead of using its Bitcoin reserves, arguing this dilutes shareholders and reflects the company's dilemma in managing its large BTC holdings. Schiff believes selling large amounts of Bitcoin would crash prices, but the market's awareness of this limits Strategy's options. Despite his bearish outlook, Schiff acknowledged Bitcoin was a smart buy 15 years ago but remains skeptical now. Bitcoin currently trades just below $65,000 after a recent 5% gain.
