“I think that MicroStrategy is in a position where we can grow from a $100 billion enterprise to a $1 trillion enterprise to a $10 trillion enterprise,” Saylor told Financial Times.
He also doubled down on his long-term Bitcoin outlook. “My forecast for 2045 is 13 million a Bitcoin,” Saylor said. “Certainly, in 10 years we should be at a million. So one million in 10 years, you know, 10X that or more in 20 years.”
Strategy Analyst Claims Bitcoin Holdings Will Outrank All Equities
Backing Saylor’s ambitious call, Strategy analyst Jeff Walton told Financial Times that the company’s deep Bitcoin reserves make it unlike any other public stock. Strategy holds 568,840 Bitcoin, worth around $59 billion. “Strategy holds more of the best assets and the most pristine collateral on the entire planet than any other company, by multiples,” Walton said.
Walton also pointed to Strategy’s jaw-dropping fundraising power. In November 2024, Strategy raised $12 billion in just 50 days. “It’s incredibly hard to raise $100 million of capital, and they just raised $100 million of capital 120 times in 50 days and they were able to buy Bitcoin with that capital. That’s insane,” Walton said.
Strategy Still Faces Giant Leap To Overtake Microsoft
Despite the big talk, Strategy has a long climb ahead. It currently ranks as the 151st largest company in the world, with a market cap of $117 billion. Microsoft (MSFT) remains the company to beat with a market cap over $3.3 trillion.
Saylor acknowledged the risks. He told Financial Times that Strategy’s capital structure could even withstand a 90% Bitcoin price drop lasting five years. “It wouldn’t be a good outcome for the equity holders. The people at the top of the capital structure would suffer because they’re levered, but everybody else in the capital structure would get paid out,” he explained.
Is MicroStrategy a Buy Right Now?
MicroStrategy, now rebranded as Strategy, has drawn strong support from Wall Street analysts. The stock holds a Strong Buy consensus based on 13 ratings in the past three months. According to TipRanks, 12 analysts rate it a Buy while just one analyst has issued a Sell. No analysts recommend holding the stock.
The current price target data shows an average 12-month MSTR target of $521.08, which represents a 22.77% upside from the recent price of $424.43. Price forecasts range widely, with a high estimate of $650.00 and a low of $175.00.
