Strategy’s Bitcoin Treasury Model Compared To Falling Dominoes By Peter Schiff
Strategy can cover its debt and preferred dividends even if Bitcoin drops to $8,000 — down from current levels around $73,000 — a claim the company makes as gold advocate Peter Schiff steps up his warnings about its business model. A Model Built On Cheap Debt Schiff, speaking in an hour-long video on May 28, argued that Strategy’s practice of using borrowed money to buy Bitcoin is one of three interconnected financial pressures, or “dominoes”, that could unravel together. The other two, in his view, are the $39 trillion US national debt and a ballooning AI investment bubble. His argument traces back to a period of low interest rates that made borrowing cheap and encouraged large-scale speculation. That environment, Schiff contends, allowed Strategy to keep piling into Bitcoin while the federal government continued spending beyond its tax revenues and investors kept pouring money into artificial intelligence ventures. Schiff pointed to Strategy’s recent decision to use roughly 60% of its cash reserves to retire zero-interest convertible notes three years ahead of schedule. He read that move as a sign the company needed to protect its liquidity while staying heavily exposed to Bitcoin. The Two Sides Of The Debate Other financial analysts see the same move very differently. Reports indicate that mainstream commentators viewed the early buyback as smart capital management — the notes were repurchased at a discount, which removed the threat of significant shareholder dilution down the road. Switching from convertible debt to preferred equity also reduces the pressure on the company if Bitcoin enters a prolonged slump, according to those analysts. On top of that, the restructured balance sheet could make it easier for Strategy to take on additional debt to fund more Bitcoin purchases. Strategy itself says the math still works at far lower Bitcoin prices. The company maintains it stays profitable as long as Bitcoin grows by at least 1.25% annually. Schiff’s Case Against Bitcoin Schiff, a long-standing critic of Bitcoin and vocal supporter of gold , argues the bigger danger arrives if interest rates rise sharply. Higher rates, he says, would burst the AI bubble, punish overleveraged investment models, and drag down companies like Strategy in the process. His recommendation is a move away from tech stocks, crypto, and high-debt investment structures and toward gold and physical assets. Reactions across social media to his video were mixed, with some users agreeing with his concerns over central bank policy, while others criticized what they described as his constant bearish outlook on Bitcoin.

Analyst Says XRP and XLM Will Make Millionaires in 2-3 Months. Here’s why
Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto) recently shared a side-by-side chart comparison of XRP and XLM on the daily timeframe. Both assets show a strikingly similar price structure. Each has traded in a defined range for months, compressing between clear support and resistance levels while the broader market moved around them. XRP trades near $1.3193, sitting at the bottom of its range. XLM sits near $0.2040 after recently breaking out from a horizontal channel that confined its movement since February, when the broader market crashed . Both assets are now primed for sharp directional moves. Both $XRP and $XLM will create HUGE numbers of millionaires in the next 2–3 months! pic.twitter.com/rVp5hHc4r2 — STEPH IS CRYPTO (@Steph_iscrypto) May 28, 2026 Reading the Chart The chart shows horizontal support holding on both assets simultaneously. XRP has defended the $1.3163 level multiple times. XLM did the same near $0.1450. The dashed midline on each chart marks the midpoint of the range, which both assets struggled to hold above. XLM recently experienced a breakout after a major announcement. The chart shows a similar projected breakout for XRP that could take it toward $1.9. XLM is trading at $0.2040 and gearing up for a bigger move, and Steph believes both assets will make a huge number of millionaires in the next 2-3 months. XLM Gets a Wall Street Catalyst XLM received a significant institutional development on May 27. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced plans to connect its tokenized securities infrastructure to the Stellar blockchain . Production testing is scheduled to begin in July 2026. A wider rollout is targeted for October 2026, with broader tokenized assets on Stellar planned for the first half of 2027. The partnership targets faster settlement, greater asset mobility, longer trading hours, cost savings, and lower counterparty risk. XLM surged significantly after the news, while most major assets declined. That kind of price action reflects genuine institutional demand.

Two Democrats joined all Republicans on the committee to advance it. The bill creates a regulatory framework for digital assets, including cryptocurrencies like XRP, providing the legal clarity that the asset has lacked for years. The Senate Banking and Agriculture Committees will now merge their respective bills before a full Senate floor vote. A White House adviser has suggested that President Trump could sign the bill around July 4. Converging Signals Both charts show the same structure resolving at the same time, and both assets carry fresh institutional catalysts. XLM has a confirmed DTCC partnership. XLM has begun its climb, and once XRP joins, the next few months could be historic for both assets. Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.

JPMorgan CEO Goes Nuclear On CLARITY Act, Calling Coinbase’s Armstrong ‘Full Of S-t’
As lawmakers advance the crypto bill closer to completion, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon attacked Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and criticized the CLARITY Act on Friday. Dimon Predicts Clash Over CLARITY Act Speaking at the Reagan National Economic Forum, Dimon said banks “will not accept” the CLARITY Act in its current form. He also suggested that efforts by crypto proponents are unlikely to produce a broad consensus with traditional financial institutions. “It will be fought. No one’s gonna bow down to this guy, or that company,” Dimon said, referring to the act and Armstrong. Dimon continued: “He’s the only one, and he’s spending hundreds of millions of dollars in Washington on this thing… He’s full of shit.” Related Reading: Treasury Secretary Urges CLARITY Act Passage, Saying The US Should Be Home For Crypto As reported by NewsBTC on Thursday, the bill advanced in the Senate earlier this month. The Senate Banking Committee approved its portion, building on earlier progress from January, when the Agriculture Committee successfully voted on its version of the legislation. After a full Senate vote, lawmakers would need to complete the reconciliation steps required to finalize the measure and then secure agreement between the House and the Senate. Only after those steps would the final text move to the president for consideration. Yield And Compliance Provisions Concerns Dimon argued that the bill contains fundamental problems. He said the legislation would allow banks to earn interest on deposits, stablecoins, or related instruments “without the protection they should have,” and he also contended that it fails to address anti-money laundering (AML) and Bank Secrecy Act requirements sufficiently. “It allows them to effectively pay interest on deposits, stablecoins, or something like that, without the protection they should have. And it does not do anything for AML/BSA,” Dimon said. Related Reading: Ethereum (ETH) Drops Below $2,000—Why Standard Chartered Still Expects $40,000 By 2030 The executive further emphasized that the pushback would not be limited to a single type of institution or one segment of the industry. He said banks of different sizes would oppose the CLARITY Act as currently written, arguing that unity spans both large and smaller players. “The banks will not accept it that way,” Dimon said. “The ABA [American Bankers Association], the small banks, the credit unions. It’s not just the big guys.” Featured image from CNBC; chart from TradingView.com

CFTC Clears The Way For Regulated Crypto, Bitcoin Perpetuals—Kalshi Moves Next
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced Friday that it is allowing CFTC-registered exchanges to list a perpetual contract tied to the market’s leading crypto, Bitcoin (BTC). CFTC Ramps Up Crypto Perpetual Access In its announcement, the CFTC said the move creates a clearer path for liquid Bitcoin perpetual products to operate within US rules. The agency also framed the change as aligned with President Trump’s stated goal of cementing the United States as the world’s crypto capital, calling the availability of true perpetuals within the country a major advance. The announcement also comes alongside a separate regulatory action: the CFTC issued a no-action letter to crypto exchange Coinbase. According to the regulator’s guidance, the letter allows Coinbase’s US customers to access the options and perpetuals the company already offers. Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal called the development a “massive first for the industry” in a post on X (Previously Twitter), saying it reflects an effort to bring “proven global products under American regulation,” which he argued is key to making the US a leading hub for crypto. Kalshi Announces Perpetual Futures In response to the regulatory shift, Kalshi announced Friday that it plans to launch perpetual futures contracts, beginning with crypto perpetuals. The company positioned its entry as providing US traders with a regulated alternative to offshore platforms. Kalshi said the offshore perpetual market expanded sharply, rising from $28 trillion in annual volume in 2023 to more than $90 trillion in 2025. The prediction market platform indicated that regulation will be the differentiator for its crypto product. The firm said funding rates will be charged every eight hours and will be visible in transaction history. It also clarified that agricultural commodity perpetuals will not be included in the initial lineup. Featured image created with OpenArt; chart from TradingView.com
