SkyBridge Capital may be investing in Bitcoin, but the firm’s founder Anthony Scaramucci is “not a fan” of companies following Strategy’s playbook of issuing debt to buy BTC for their corporate reserves.

Responding to a question about Bitcoin treasury companies issuing debt to buy BTC, Scaramucci declared that he was “not in love with that,” during a keynote interview at the DigiAssets 2025 conference. “That feels like SPACs, that feels like stuff that happens in our industry that you get excess of,” he said.

“I’m worried that there’ll be a crack in that, that will actually come back and hurt Bitcoin,” he added.

He likened the enthusiasm for becoming Bitcoin treasury companies to shifting sartorial tastes in the fashion industry.

“The skirts go up, the skirts go down; the lapels widen, they narrow,” he said. While issuing debt to buy Bitcoin is “a hot thing to do right now,” Scaramucci added, “It will become out of fashion and it’ll hurt Bitcoin.”

That stance places him at odds with Strategy chairman Michael Saylor, whose firm has aggressively pursued a playbook of using convertible debt to acquire BTC, while capitalizing on the momentum of its own stock price during bull markets. At the moment, Strategy is sitting on a BTC treasury worth approximately $61.9 billion, according to Bitcoin Treasuries.

While firms including Metaplanet, Mara and Riot Holdings have adopted Strategy’s playbook, it hasn’t been without criticism.

In a recent research note, Swiss digital asset bank Sygnum flagged the risk of a “very damaging signal to the market” if Bitcoin experienced a prolonged downturn and Strategy was forced to liquidate part of its BTC holdings to cover debt obligations.

And while analysts at The Kobeissi Letter noted earlier this year that structural safeguards render a forced liquidation scenario for Strategy “highly unlikely,” they flagged the risk that “prolonged weakness could pressure its ability to meet obligations.”

Scaramucci and Bitcoin

While he shares Saylor’s bullish outlook on Bitcoin, Scaramucci takes a more cautious view on its likely price appreciation. “For me, it’s digital gold—so I think it will trade to the market cap of gold” he said.

“If Michael Saylor was up here, he’d say, ‘No, it’s digital property, it will be tied to the rest of the world’s property,’” Scaramucci added. “He thinks it’s a $500 trillion asset. I think it’s a $24 or $25 trillion asset.”
