Bernstein Expects MicroStrategy To Own 4% Of BTC’s Supply By 2033

The Bernstein analysts wrote in the report that they expect MicroStrategy to own 4% of Bitcoin’s total supply. This comes after the software firm said that it intends on buying another $42 billion worth of BTC over the next 3 years.

Staying true to its commitment to add to its Bitcoin stockpile, MicroStrategy purchased 55,500 BTC on Nov. 25, according to data from Saylor Tracker. With this recent buy, the firm acquired each Bitcoin at an average price of $97,862. 

The latest purchase has pushed MicroStrategy’s BTC holdings to 386,700 BTC. At current prices, the dollar value of the holdings is estimated to be more than $35.71 billion. 

Since MicroStrategy bought the 55,500 BTC, the leading crypto’s price has pulled back more than 6% to trade at $91,965.53 as of 8:38 a.m. EST. As a result, the firm has lost over $281.94 million with its most recent BTC buy.

MicroStrategy’s 300% Premium Not Sustainable, Says Steno Research

While Bernstein is bullish on MSTR, there are others that have a more bearish outlook for the stock. In an Oct. 25 research note, Steno Research said that MicroStrategy’s 300% premium over the value of its Bitcoin holdings cannot be sustained.

In the note, analyst Mads Eberhadt listed the availability of spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) as well as the options trading on these investment products as possible factors that could reduce the incentive for investors to invest in MSTR.
