Citi raises Strategy valuation to $240 on higher Bitcoin forecast
Image: The Crypto BasicCiti raised its 12-month view for Strategy shares to $240 from $136. The bank lifted its 12-month Bitcoin forecast to about $113,400 from $82,000, a 39% increase. Citi ties about 34% of potential upside to Bitcoin appreciation and 16% to Strategy's mNAV expansion. Strategy bought 1,665 BTC at an average price of $85,681, and Bitcoin traded above $86,000.
Key points
- Citi linked about 16% of expected upside to expansion in Strategy's mNAV multiple.
- Citi raised its Bitcoin Yield Multiple assumption to 4.0x from 2.5x.
Why it matters
Strategy holds a large corporate Bitcoin position, so analyst views on BTC and its mNAV premium shape how the stock is valued. Citi's model ties about half of the potential upside to those two factors.
What's unclear
Citi's 12-month Bitcoin forecast is given as about $113,400 in one report and $113,000 in the other.
Strategy's share price is cited as around $159 and around $160.50.
