Benchmark analyst sees upside in $MSTR to $1,875 per share.
Mark Palmer explained why in a research note on Monday.
MicroStrategy stock has already more than tripled year-to-date.

MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ: MSTR) is up more than 10% on Monday after a Benchmark analyst issued a super bullish note in its favour.

Why is Benchmark bullish on MicroStrategy stock?

Mark Palmer reiterated his “buy” rating on the business intelligence company that owns close to a quarter-million Bitcoin and said its shares could climb to $1,875.

The analyst is positive on MicroStrategy stock as he expects the world’s largest cryptocurrency to hit $150,000 by the end of next year on the upcoming halving and recently approved Bitcoin ETFs.

While halving will create a supply shock, we believe the event’s impact could be magnified by concurrent demand shock created by the emergence of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds.

Note that $MSTR is already more than tripled since its year-to-date low in late January.

$MSTR will continue to invest in Bitcoin (BTC)

Mark Palmer is convinced that MicroStrategy Inc will continue to use cash from its enterprise software business to buy more Bitcoin.

At the end of 2025, he expects the Nasdaq-listed firm to be holding 298,246 BTC versus 214,246 at writing.

The Benchmark analyst agreed that MicroStrategy shares are currently trading at a premium but dubbed it justified considering due to the company’s “demonstrated ability to tap capital markets at attractive interest rates … and then using proceeds to purchase more BTC”.

Palmer remains bullish on $MSTR even though it reported a 6.1% decline in its fourth-quarter revenue to $124.5 million in February that came in below $132.9 million expected.
