Antalpha Platform Holding Company: Strategic Positioning and Growth Potential Justify Buy Rating

Ed Engel, an analyst from Compass Point, has initiated a new Buy rating on Antalpha Platform Holding Company (ANTA).

Ed Engel has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Antalpha Platform Holding Company’s strategic positioning and growth potential. Antalpha is a key player in the crypto lending space, providing financing to Bitcoin miners and institutional investors, with loans that are overcollateralized and backed by Bitcoin, which is considered a high-quality collateral due to its liquidity and security. The company’s strong partnership with Bitmain, a leading ASIC supplier, further strengthens its market position, as Antalpha benefits from Bitmain’s significant market share and has a right of first refusal agreement for ASIC financing.
Ed Engel also notes that Antalpha’s revenue is projected to grow at a 71% compound annual growth rate through 2026, yet this growth is not fully reflected in its current valuation. As the company’s EBITDA is expected to increase significantly by 2025, Engel anticipates that Antalpha’s valuation will better reflect its growth trajectory. Furthermore, the crypto lending industry’s practices have improved, and Antalpha’s role as the second-largest crypto lender underscores its importance in the market. These factors collectively justify the Buy rating and the $20 price target.
