American entrepreneur Jason Calacanis has expressed skepticism about Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor's actions and their impact on Bitcoin.
Criticism of Michael Saylor's Strategy
Calacanis accused Saylor of negatively impacting Bitcoin due to his massive purchasing and increasing centralization. He stated that 'Saylor's relentless pumping of bitcoin and his high-risk accumulation techniques are damaging the bitcoin ecosystem and brand.' Calacanis also predicted the failure of the debt-for-bitcoin strategy this year.
Recent Bitcoin Purchase
Recently, Saylor announced a $10 million Bitcoin purchase, which raised eyebrows in the crypto community. Adam Cochran, a partner at Cinneamhain Ventures, described it as a 'painfully desperate' move, calling Saylor 'the worst thing' to happen to Bitcoin.
Community Reaction to Strategy's Actions
Financial commentator Peter Schiff, known for his anti-crypto stance, also mocked Saylor's recent Bitcoin purchase: 'Is that all you bought? Seems like you are running out of firepower.' However, Strategy continues to be the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.
Despite support and criticism, Saylor and his company remain in the spotlight of the crypto community due to their high level of Bitcoin accumulation.
