Michael Burry Issues Warning For Miners

"Big Short" Michael Burry, the investor who famously bet against the US housing market during the 2008 financial crisis, has issued a warning for miners if BTC falls below the $50,000 mark in a recent Substack post.

As per a post shared by Yahoo Finance on X, Burry has said that miners will go "bankrupt" and be "forced to sell" their Bitcoin reserves if BTC falls below the $50,000 mark. He added that tokenized metal futures will "collapse into a black hole" with no buyers.

At the time of writing, BTC was trading hands at 64,730.58, down over 9.21% in the last 24 hours.
