Peter Schiff’s warning that Strategy’s recent BTC sale could trigger “much greater” losses is grounded in the company’s own disclosure: it liquidated 3,588 coins for about $216 million under its Monetization Program. The headline‑raising move has already been reflected in the market, but the response has been surprisingly muted. Bitcoin’s price has slipped only slightly, hovering just above $64 k and rising 0.6 % in the last 24 hours, suggesting that the broader market is still resilient to the sale.
At the same time, the fear‑greed gauge remains firmly in the “Fear” zone, with a value of 27. This indicates that, while the price has recovered, many participants are still wary of a potential downward spiral. The sale has also pushed BTC futures funding rates up to roughly 9 %, tightening the cost of leveraged positions and adding another layer of caution for traders who rely on short‑term speculation.
For retail holders, the key takeaway is that a single large sale by a major institutional player does not automatically doom the market. However, it does signal that Strategy may be looking to shore up its balance sheet, and any future disposals could add pressure. Watching the funding rates and the price’s ability to stay above the $64 k threshold will be essential in gauging whether the market’s current recovery is sustainable or merely a temporary rebound.
