Is Bitcoin Lending the Key to MicroStrategy’s Stock Growth?
MicroStrategy's Bitcoin acquisition has been a central factor in boosting its stock performance, according to a recent analysis.
The company has significantly benefited from its strategy of accumulating Bitcoin, and experts now suggest it could explore generating yield by lending out part of its holdings.
Currently trading at around $153 per share, analysts predict the stock could rise to $215 if MicroStrategy continues buying Bitcoin and begins lending it for low-risk returns. Although its core business is enterprise software, the company’s public valuation is largely tied to its massive Bitcoin holdings, which have been growing since 2020.
Michael Saylor, the firm’s executive chairman, recently discussed Bitcoin’s potential to serve as a reliable store of value while generating yield through lending and borrowing in digital finance.

Despite concerns about the stock’s valuation being higher than its Bitcoin assets, analysts argue that the company’s ongoing Bitcoin acquisition strategy justifies this premium.
In a significant financial move, MicroStrategy completed a $1.01 billion convertible note offering, using the proceeds to buy more Bitcoin and pay down debt. This also freed up previously pledged Bitcoin holdings, allowing the company more flexibility. As institutional interest in cryptocurrency grows, MicroStrategy may soon have the chance to lend part of its Bitcoin to major financial players, generating new revenue streams.
