Overview
- Maxim Group cut its 12-month price target for Strategy to $215 while keeping a Buy rating, citing persistent stock volatility and the company’s leveraged exposure to Bitcoin.
- Strategy sold 1,638 BTC, about $105 million, saying the proceeds would fund buybacks and dividends, and blockchain trackers later flagged related wallet moves of roughly 1,030 BTC.
- The company has expanded its at-the-market equity capacity to $44.1 billion, a tool it uses to issue shares and raise cash for further Bitcoin purchases that can dilute existing holders.
- Other Wall Street firms have trimmed MSTR targets and lowered Bitcoin forecasts, with Cantor Fitzgerald and B. Riley among those cutting valuations and BTC price outlooks.
- Large institutions including SEB, Nordea and BNY Mellon have increased disclosed MSTR positions to gain regulated, custody-free Bitcoin exposure, a choice that boosts portfolio crypto access but also imports amplified market and execution risk tied to Strategy’s corporate actions.
