Peter Schiff Admits Bitcoin Has a Use; As a Hedge Against Saylor’s Strategy

• Short-seller Jim Chanos holds Bitcoin to offset risk from his bearish position on MSTR, Schiff said.
• Despite Bitcoin’s price rally, Schiff continues to dismiss it as hype-driven and unsound.

Peter Schiff, one of Bitcoin’s most relentless critics and a staunch gold advocate, surprised crypto enthusiasts by admitting that Bitcoin has a valid use case—just not the kind its supporters might hope for. 

In a recent post on X, Schiff pointed out that famed short-seller Jim Chanos is using Bitcoin to hedge his short position against Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.
