MicroStrategy Stock Revised To Overweight, MSTR Price Target $194

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I have seen my fair share of bullish and bearish trends. However, MicroStrategy (MSTR) is a company that has consistently defied expectations, particularly in the rapidly evolving world of Bitcoin and digital assets.


On Wednesday, Cantor Fitzgerald assigned an overweight rating to the stocks of American business intelligence firm MicroStrategy, indicating that they consider it a promising investment prospect. Additionally, their analysis sets a higher projected price point for MSTR shares.

Bitcoin Investment Firm MicroStrategy Receives Buy Rating

Analyst Brett Knoblauch of Cantor Fitzgerald commences coverage on MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) on August 21, assigning an optimistic “overweight” rating. This rating is in line with the growing interest in Bitcoin and traditional financial institutions entering the cryptocurrency market.

The analyst additionally established a projected price of $194, suggesting a favorable viewpoint on the stock due to its recent market success. It’s anticipated that Mastercraft Stock (MSTR) will surpass the market average.

On Tuesday, the MicroStrategy stock price finished 1.23% down, ending at $133.69. However, on Wednesday, the same stock is currently trading 2.64% higher at $137.21. This year so far, the MicroStrategy stock has seen over a 100% increase in its price.

As a long-time investor with a keen interest in technology and digital assets, I find the recent announcement by the company intriguing. Having closely followed the rise of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies over the years, I am impressed by this bold move to invest such a significant amount in buying more Bitcoins.

In the latest financial report, the company experienced a setback with a loss of approximately $180.1 million due to impairment costs. The predicted earnings per share and overall revenue fell short as well. However, undeterred by these results, the Bitcoin-focused firm intends to persist in actively purchasing bitcoins during this quarter.

As a crypto investor, I’m excited about the outperform rating given to MicroStrategy stock by brokerage firm Bernstein. They believe that this stock could potentially double its value by the year 2025, which has me optimistic for my investment in this company.

Bitcoin Price to Rally On MSTR Demand?

Investors in the cryptocurrency world view MicroStrategy’s acquisition of Bitcoin as a positive sign due to the company being the biggest corporate Bitcoin holder. When this company or its chairman Michael Saylor announces a new development regarding Bitcoin, it often triggers an upward trend in the BTC price. Interestingly, with plans to invest an additional $2 billion into buying more bitcoins, there’s speculation that the Bitcoin price could potentially reach as high as $70,000.

As a researcher, I’m excited to share that recently, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has given the green light for Defiance Investments to debut MSTX 1.5% and 1.75% leverage ETFs. These are pioneering leveraged single-stock ETFs aimed at MicroStrategy, marking a significant milestone in this sector.

In the past day, Bitcoin’s price dropped by over 2%, now standing at approximately $59,361. Its lowest and highest points during this period were $58,610 and $60,976 respectively. Also, the trading volume has decreased by about 4% within the same timeframe, suggesting a reduction in trader activity.

Regardless of the current price decrease, most analysts remain optimistic about the imminent surge in Bitcoin value. K33 Research foresees a “squeeze” event that could lead to a significant jump in the Bitcoin price.
