Speaking on this development, Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff wrote:
“The higher the price of MSTR stock, the more shares Michael Saylor can sell. The more shares he sells, the more Bitcoin he can buy. The more Bitcoin he buys, the higher the Bitcoin price rises. When the price of Bitcoin goes up, the share price of MSTR goes up more. When does it end?”
