Management increased the target BTC return to reflect the expected gains from the 21/21 plan. Annual returns are expected to reach 6-10%. Currently, the company aims to accumulate 412,220 Bitcoins by the end of 2025, with an expected Bitcoin price of $175,000 by then.
The term BTC Yield is “linguistically laundering the actual rate of return on what MicroStrategy does,” said Two Prime Digital Assets CEO Alexander Blume. That means the company’s BTC net asset value is getting closer to its market capitalization of around $50 billion, according to Yahoo Finance.
“It’s similar to a company getting a smaller discount to NAV than its actual rate of return, which means it’s a smart strategy to perceive a negative (BTC being lower than the stock’s value) as a positive,” Blume said in an email to The. block
Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer attributes MicroStrategy’s premium stock valuation (currently 2.7x net asset value) to its unique compounding strategy that combines Bitcoin and traditional financial tools. Institutional demand for Bitcoin and a potentially favorable U.S. regulatory environment could fuel further share price gains.
“(W)e are hearing from more investors who are considering investments that will perform well amid further currency declines, with expectations that such declines are likely to continue in the U.S. regardless of the outcome of next month’s election,” Palmer said. “There is,” he said. Please note to customers. “We believe that these concerns are one of the reasons for the recent strength in the price of Bitcoin, based on the belief that the United States will continue to have a need to finance large budget deficits. Bitcoin and related investments.”
Palmer said MicroStrategy’s ability to generate compounding returns on its Bitcoin holdings through leverage gained by repeatedly tapping the U.S. capital markets makes its stock an alternative means of gaining Bitcoin exposure, such as a spot Bitcoin ETF. He said it differentiates it from the other.
“Management has indicated that it wants MSTR to have a strong, clear plan for raising capital to fuel its Bitcoin acquisition strategy, rather than raising funds in a less deliberate manner,” Palmer said. “They said the $42 billion size and equal split between equity and bond issues was arrived at through a thorough modeling process that assessed how much capital the company could realistically raise within three years.”
According to Blume, this structure makes sense to take on low-interest debt of any size and provide a convertible premium for future stock purchases.
“This is a win for everyone,” he said. “But given that actual business revenues are declining, if BTC falls sharply and stays that way for long, the company will end up evaporating into a mountain of debt it cannot repay.”
Palmer raised his price target on MSTR from $245 to $300 and maintained a ‘buy’ rating on the stock. At the time of publication, the stock was trading at about $245. According to BTC price data from The Block, the price of Bitcoin is trading at around $70,370, down 2% over the past 24 hours.
