Bernstein analysts Gautam Chhugani and Mahika Sapra recently revised their price targets for Bitcoin in their latest market report, which also initiated coverage on MicroStrategy. These analysts also outlined factors that they believe could contribute to BTC’s exponential price surge.\u00a0 Bitcoin To Hit $200,000 And Then $1 Million Chhugani and Sapra predicted in the report that BTC\u00a0will rise to a cycle high of $200,000 by 2025 and that the flagship crypto will reach $1 million by 2033. Bernstein had previously predicted that Bitcoin would reach $150,000 by 2025. However, these analysts have now revised their targets and alluded to the institutional demand for BTC as one of the reasons they believe the flagship crypto can reach such heights.

Moreover, two Bitcoin halvings are set to occur before 2033, further reducing miners\u2019 supply and thereby supporting their base case of BTC hitting $1 million.\u00a0 MicroStrategy To Benefit From BTC’s Growth These Berstein analysts also initiated coverage on MicroStrategy with an outperform rating. They predict that the software company\u2019s stock can rise to $2,890 thanks to its BTC exposure. A rise to $2,890 represents about a 95% increase for MicroStrategy\u2019s stock, which is currently valued at around $1,500.\u00a0 The research firm noted that MicroStrategy has committed itself to \u201cbuilding the world\u2019s largest Bitcoin company.\u201d This has already paid off so far, with Chhugani and Sapra stating that the software company has transformed from a \u201csmall software company to the largest BTC holding company\u201d since August 2020 (when it started accumulating BTC).\u00a0 MicroStrategy already owns 1.1% of Bitcoin\u2019s total supply, with holdings worth around $14.5 billion. The company\u2019s BTC holdings are expected to increase soon enough, as they recently announced plans to offer $500 million of Convertible Senior Notes. Some of the proceeds from the proposed sale will be used to buy additional BTC.\u00a0 Related Reading: Ethereum Withdrawals From Coinbase Top $1.2 Billion, What\u2019s Going On? Berstein highlighted how the company\u2019s co-founder Michael Saylor has become synonymous with the Bitcoin brand and that the company\u2019s position as the leading Bitcoin company has helped attract \u201cat scale capital (both debt and equity) for an active Bitcoin acquisition strategy.\u201d In dollar terms, Bernstein noted that MicroStrategy\u2019s Bitcoin net asset value (NAV) per share \u201chas grown nearly fourfold, surpassing the 2.4x growth in Bitcoin\u2019s spot price.\u201d \u201cWe believe MSTR\u2019s long term convertible debt strategy allows it enough time to gain from Bitcoin upside, with limited liquidation risk to its Bitcoin on balance sheet.\u201d Chhugani and Sapra added.\u00a0 Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":594,"featured_media":624826,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5651],"tags":[167,428,656,679,1119,89185,1122,1144,78790,6664,26263,14690],"class_list":["post-624805","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bitcoin","tag-analyst","tag-bitcoin","tag-bitcoin-news","tag-bitcoin-price","tag-btc","tag-btc-news","tag-btc-price","tag-btcusd","tag-btcusdt","tag-crypto","tag-crypto-analyst","tag-crypto-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
