<p>In his recent tweet on X, Michael Saylor said that he continues to HODL BTC. The MicroStrategy chairman remains firm on his Bitcoin acquisition strategy without any second thought, despite this market crash. In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin’s market cap has lost more than $200 billion, while reports of a <a href="https://coingape.com/is-a-fed-rate-cut-ahead-experts-warn-it-may-escalate-market-bloodbath/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Fed rate cut</a> soon as central bank intervention emerge again.</p>

<p>This is the first time since February that the <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/reasons-why-bitcoin-price-crash-could-continue/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin price</a> is trading under sub $50K levels while losing its trillion-dollar status. On the other hand, the MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) stock price has also tanked 16% today slipping all the way to $1,213.77. This move has extended MSTR’s weekly losses to more than 27%. Other public-listed firms have also collapsed by a similar magnitude along with the <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-market-crash-liquidations-cross-800-million-as-japans-nikkei-drops-7/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto market crash</a>.</p>
<p>It will be interesting to watch any development from Michael Saylor and if he decides to buy the BTC dips going ahead. During last week’s Q2 results announcement, Saylor said that MicroStrategy is looking to raise an additional $2 billion in cash to buy more BTC.</p>

<p>While the BTC price collapsed by 18%, the spot Gold price is down less than 2% currently trading at 2,394 levels as of press time. Popular economist Peter Schiff said that Gold and Silver are currently the best bets against the US recessionary situation and the stock market crash.</p>
<p>He added that the <a href="https://coingape.com/chicago-fed-president-signals-emergency-rate-cut-slashes-recession-concerns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Federal Reserve</a> would ultimately pivot thereby soaring the money supply once again causing a plunge in the real interest rates as well as the Dollar value, while ultimately sending inflation soaring once again. Schiff didn’t miss the chance to criticize Bitcoin for its volatility. He wrote:</p>
<blockquote>
 <p>“This weekend’s Bitcoin crash is an example of why Bitcoin will never be a reserve asset for any major government or central bank. A reserve asset must have relatively low volatility. It needs to be readily sold when needed. It can’t crash more than assets it’s supposed to hedge”.</p>
