Renowned economist and market commentator Peter Schiff labeled Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), the world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency, as the riskiest asset on Tuesday.
What Happened:&nbsp; Schiff took to X to voice his concerns about the leading digital asset, stating, &#8220;There is no riskier asset&nbsp;than Bitcoin (not counting the&nbsp;20,000 altcoins).&#8221; 
Risk-off assets are investments that tend to perform well when the market sentiment is negative. Schiff&#8217;s observation implied that Bitcoin was nowhere near being a safe haven like gold, an asset he strongly advocates for.
The remark was in reaction to serial entrepreneur and Bitcoin advocate Alan Knitowski, who argued that the leading cryptocurrency would soon become &#8220;risk-off&#8221; and decoupled from the effects of fiat currencies such as the dollar.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">There is no riskier asset than Bitcoin (not counting the 20K altcoins)
&mdash; Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/status/1876819864054104115?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 8, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The conversation started when Schiff brought up<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/22/12/29900334/what-boj-ending-yield-curve-control-could-mean-for-global-bonds-and-japanese-equities"> Japan&#8217;s benchmark 10-year Treasury bond</a> yield of 1.18%. He warned that sustained increases in yields might &#8220;wreak havoc&#8221; on global bonds and risk assets.
According to <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/chart/XlzxagWe/">TradingView</a>, Bitcoin&#8217;s Sharpe ratio, a measure of risk-adjusted returns, was -1.11 as of this writing, suggesting that the expected return was lower than that of a risk-free investment, such as a Treasury yield. 
Interestingly, gold, which is considered a risk-free investment, <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/chart/XlzxagWe/?symbol=OANDA%3AXAUUSD">had </a>a Sharpe ratio around similar levels, around -1.07.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;This isn&#8217;t the first time Schiff has expressed skepticism about Bitcoin. He has previously warned about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42878139/peter-schiff-doesnt-hate-bitcoin-but-warns-millions-will-lose-more-than-they-can-afford-in-speculative-mania">speculative frenzy </a>surrounding the cryptocurrency, asserting that it could lead to significant losses for investors.
He said that he doesn&#8217;t &#8220;hate Bitcoin itself,&#8221; but was deeply concerned about the potential financial fallout from the speculative mania.
Despite his criticisms, Schiff once <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41944080/peter-schiff-says-he-would-have-loaded-up-on-bitcoin-had-he-known-that-the-btc-bubble-woul">admitted</a> that he would have invested in Bitcoin had he anticipated the size of the current &#8220;bubble.&#8221;

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) is set to introduce a subscription model for its Galaxy smartphones. This move comes after Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) paused its own subscription service plans last month.
What Happened:The subscription service, known as the AI Subscription Club, was initially launched in December for select Samsung home appliances in South Korea. Samsung&#8217;s vice chair, Han Jong-hee, confirmed the expansion to Galaxy phones and the Ballie AI robot. The service will be available in Korea and the U.S., with Ballie being introduced first in these regions, The Verge and ETNews <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/8/24338974/samsung-galaxy-subscription-smartphones-ballie">reported </a>on Wednesday.
Samsung&#8217;s subscription model allows consumers to pay a monthly fee for AI-powered devices, offering optional repair and maintenance services. This approach aims to reduce upfront costs for users. The company plans to unveil more details during the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Jose, California, on Jan. 22.
Meanwhile, Apple was developing a similar subscription service for iPhones, intending to offer new phones annually for a monthly fee. However, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-18/apple-halts-long-running-effort-to-build-iphone-hardware-subscription-service">reported</a> that the project was halted last month due to regulatory concerns and internal challenges. 
Why It Matters: The concept of hardware subscriptions has been gaining traction as a potential revenue booster for tech companies. According to a 2022 report, Apple was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/04/26439897/heres-how-the-economics-of-hardware-subscription-can-boost-revenue-for-apple">exploring this model</a> to increase its revenue streams, as only the most dedicated Apple fans tend to upgrade their iPhones annually. Most users typically upgrade every three years, a frequency that has decreased over the past decade.
Samsung&#8217;s upcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42836040/samsung-unpacked-2025-date-time-livestream-details-and-galaxy-s25-pre-order-offers-everything-you-need-to-know">Galaxy Unpacked event</a>, scheduled for Jan. 22, 2025, in San Jose, will likely provide further insights into their subscription plans. The event will showcase the new Galaxy S25 series and advancements in Galaxy AI, potentially setting the stage for Samsung&#8217;s expanded subscription service.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) directors including Chair Robyn Denholm have reportedly gotten court approval for a settlement to resolve allegations that they overpaid themselves.
What Happened: As per the terms of the settlement, Tesla board members will return roughly $277 million in cash and $459 million in stock options to the carmaker. They will also forgo stock options for the 2021-2023 period worth $184 million, Reuters reported. 
The settlement, however, did not specify how much each of the directors has to return. 
The judge overseeing the case, Kathaleen McCormick, approved the settlement in a telephonic hearing on Wednesday, Reuters said while adding that the directors did not admit wrongdoing. 
The judge also awarded $176 million in fees and costs to the three law firms that brought the case, overruling Tesla&#8217;s request to cap the fee at $64 million. 
Why It Matters: The settlement approved by the court resolves the lawsuit brought forth by the Police and Fire Retirement System of the City of Detroit&nbsp;in 2020. The lawsuit alleged that the compensation awarded to Tesla directors from 2017 to 2020 was excessive. 
Tesla CEO Elon Musk did not get paid for his role as a board member. 
However, a minor shareholder filed a separate lawsuit in 2018 challenging his $56 billion CEO pay package and McCormick ruled in January 2024 that it would be voided, citing Musk&#8217;s influence on the board when they adopted the pay plan. 
Tesla shareholders subsequently voted again&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39323339/tesla-shareholders-approve-elon-musk-56b-pay-package-other-company-proposals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to reinstate the package</a>&nbsp;in June. However, McCormick again ruled against the package in December.
Tesla said in a post on X in December that the company deems the ruling to be wrong and intends to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42802287/cathie-woods-ark-investment-appeal-decision-to-void-tesla-ceos-pay-package-musk-says-awesome">appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court</a>.
