Peter Schiff Predicts Bitcoin Could Sink To $75,000: 'Sell Now, Buy Back Lower'

Prominent Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff has once again sounded the alarm, calling for Bitcoin BTC/USD to potentially drop toward $75,000 — below Strategy's MSTR average cost price.

What Happened: In an Aug. 26 post on X, Schiff pointed out that Bitcoin slipped below $109,000 — about a 13% correction from recent highs.

He said the decline highlights downside risk despite strong hype and corporate accumulation.

Schiff suggested holders should consider selling now and buying back at lower levels but stressed his advice doesn't apply to those who don't already own BTC.

Crypto Twitter quickly piled on, with several users recalling Schiff's long history of declaring Bitcoin "dead, pointing out he predicted Bitcoin will never hit $100,000. Schiff admitted he was wrong on that one.

One commentator quipped: "BTC is programmed to ensure Peter Schiff is wrong."

He further said that Schiff has been calling for a Bitcoin crash since $250 while Bitcoin has only increased in value.

Schiff questioned, "If companies are buying aggressively, who's selling?" He also noted that gold prices have held flat and the NASDAQ has dipped only 1% over the same period, underscoring Bitcoin's relative weakness.
