MicroStrategy’s Stock Gets Price Target Boost Amid Bitcoin Strategy

HERNDON, Va. — MicroStrategy Inc. received a notable price target increase from Mizuho Securities, indicating a potential upside of 35.8% from current stock levels. Analyst lifted the price target for MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock to $563 from $515, maintaining a ‘Buy’ rating.

This change followed the company’s recent financial report, which showed a revenue of $111.1 million for the quarter. This figure marked a slight decrease compared to the previous year and fell short of analysts’ expectations, partly due to a revaluation of its Bitcoin holdings.

During this quarter, MicroStrategy purchased 22,048 bitcoins for a total of $1.92 billion, raising its overall Bitcoin holdings to 528,185 BTC. The company also increased its 2025 Bitcoin yield goal to 25% from 15%, with plans to generate $15 billion in value from its Bitcoin assets.

From April 28 to May 4, MicroStrategy bought an additional 1,895 bitcoins for around $180.3 million, averaging $95,167 per coin. This information was disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), bringing its total Bitcoin ownership to 555,450 with a total investment of $38.08 billion.

The price target hike from Mizuho reflects the company’s recent first-quarter earnings, new fundraising activities, Bitcoin acquisitions, and a more optimistic forecast for Bitcoin prices driven by increased market adoption. The analyst noted that MicroStrategy stock has risen over 38% year-to-date, performing significantly better than Bitcoin, which has climbed 9%, as well as the S&P 500, which has declined by 3%, and Coinbase, down 20%.

The growth momentum appears solid, as MicroStrategy’s heightened expectations for its Bitcoin strategy are clear. The company’s revision of its 2025 targets shows a commitment to capitalizing on its Bitcoin holdings, boosting its projected value from $10 billion to $15 billion.

According to TipRanks, MicroStrategy holds a consensus Strong Buy rating among 13 Wall Street analysts, based on 12 Buy ratings and one Sell in the last three months. The average price target of $513.85 suggests a potential 24% upside from current price levels.
