Financial commentator Peter Schiff has once again taken a bearish stance on Bitcoin, urging investors to sell the cryptocurrency while it remains above the $100,000 mark. According to Schiff’s recent social media post, the current price level offers what he described as an “incredible opportunity” for holders to exit before a potential decline.
Schiff, a long-time critic of digital assets, warned that Bitcoin is still “ridiculously overpriced” despite its impressive rise. He advised those holding the token to act quickly, emphasizing that the market could soon correct sharply. The warning follows earlier remarks in which he compared Bitcoin’s valuation to speculative bubbles of the past.

Notably, Schiff’s view aligns with that of Bloomberg’s senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone, who believes Bitcoin’s stay above $100,000 will be short-lived. McGlone observed that despite Bitcoin’s surge, the broader Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index has slipped by about 1 percent this year, contrasting with a 16 percent gain in the S&P 500.
Meanwhile, Kynikos Associates founder Jim Chanos revealed that his firm has closed its short-on-Strategy and long-on-Bitcoin position. His earlier prediction that the leading Bitcoin treasury company, MicroStrategy (MSTR), was overvalued relative to its Bitcoin holdings has proven accurate, as MSTR’s stock has plunged nearly 45 percent and its premium to net asset value has nearly vanished.
Bitcoin advocate Pierre Rochard viewed the development as a possible sign of recovery for the company, noting that such corrections often precede market reversals. He, however, cautioned that volatility would likely continue in the near term.
The contrasting opinions from Schiff and other strategists highlight the deep divide within the crypto market. While bearish analysts foresee a potential pullback following Bitcoin’s climb beyond $100,000, optimists argue that growing institutional adoption and tightening supply could support further gains.
Nevertheless, Schiff’s remarks have rekindled concerns among investors about sustainability at current levels. His insistence on shifting focus to traditional assets like gold and equities underscores the ongoing debate between advocates of tangible stores of value and supporters of decentralized finance.
As Bitcoin’s price continues to test investor conviction, Schiff’s latest warning serves as a reminder that market sentiment remains fragile, even at record highs.

Legal experts are concerned that transforming ESMA into the “European SEC” may hinder the licensing of crypto and fintech in the region. The European Commission’s proposal to expand the powers of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) is raising concerns about the centralization of the bloc’s licensing regime, despite signaling deeper institutional ambitions for its capital markets structure.On Thursday, the Commission published a package proposing to “direct supervisory competences” for key pieces of market infrastructure, including crypto-asset service providers (CASPs), trading venues and central counterparties to ESMA, Cointelegraph reported.Concerningly, the ESMA’s jurisdiction would extend to both the supervision and licensing of all European crypto and financial technology (fintech) firms, potentially leading to slower licensing regimes and hindering startup development, according to Faustine Fleuret, head of public affairs at decentralized lending protocol Morpho.Read more
