Peter Schiff kicked off 2026 with a breakfast-at-Tiffany’s-level blunt message to Bitcoin enthusiasts: “The good news train has derailed. Grab your popcorn, folks, we’re in the exitainment era now.” His take? BTC’s crowd-surfing on hype, but the upbeat playlist’s over. The ETFs? Oh sweet summer child, they’re turning into a dating app ghost. 👻
Schiff’s Bitcoin Prediction For 2026
In a Year-End Special that felt less “forecast” and more “hot takes I drank from the coffee maker,” Schiff declared 2025 was Bitcoin’s reality TV season: everyone wanted it to go up, but it went Eh, I’ll just stay at home and binge Netflix. Why? Stocks, gold, even silver? They flexed their gains while BTC played the wallflower. 😩
Schiff dropped real estate numbers like a pop star dropping a hit single: Dow +13
“CNBC’s favorite TikTok influencer,” Schiff said, rolling eyes harder than a toddler molting into puberty, “was screaming Bitcoin would skyrocket-bitcoin president, ETFs, CEO spendy crypto shopping sprees. Yet here we are, Bitcoin’s 2025 GPA: a D for effort.” 😅
To prove his thesis, he whipped out ETF stats like a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat: down 7.5
Strategy As The “Poster Boy” Stress Test
Schiff turned to Strategy, crypto’s most famous hype-man proxy, and sneered it was a “poster boy” for BTC’s bottoming-out sesh. Strategy closed 2025 at a 52-week low and lost 47.5
He raised eyebrows at Strategy’s 5-year cost basis: $75K sitting around like it’s waiting for a TikTok trend. “So you’ve only made 16
Projecting into 2026, Schiff warned: Strategy’s buying spree? Putting on the brakes slower than a kid on a sugar high at a Tesla factory. If ETFs start selling BTC like it’s last week’s avocado toast, then… 🚨brace yourselves for the next TikTokfail.”
Year-End Special: My 2026 Economic and Market Forecasts

The Macro Backdrop
Schiff’s 2026 forecast? Picture a sophomore’s dance party: sticky floors (stickier inflation), dim lighting (weaker GDP), and someone randomly playing “Never Gonna Give You Up” on a boombox. The Fed? They’re back to quantitative easing, but with the finesse of a toddler stacking blocks. 🏗️ Tariffs? “Yay, higher prices for consumers!” 🔥 Expect a 2026 economy equivalent of a bad Spotify Wrapped: weak, yet desperate for hits.
His advice? “Sell BTC above $87K before it becomes the next TikTok fad. Rotate into gold and silver-those are where the cool kids are chilling now. 🦇✨”
At press time, BTC traded at $89,517. One step closer to Schiff’s “midlife crisis” party, am I right? 🎉
