Benchmark Cuts Strategy's Price Target to $570 Amid Bitcoin Downturn
- Price Target Adjustment: Benchmark has lowered its 12-month price target for Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) from $705 to $570 while maintaining a Buy rating, reflecting a cooler outlook on near-term upside following a brutal drawdown in both Bitcoin and Strategy's stock.
- Market Reaction: Despite Strategy's stock plummeting from approximately $457 to near $150 in mid-2025, Benchmark held firm on the $705 target, emphasizing its identity as a bitcoin-focused treasury company rather than a traditional software firm.
- Bitcoin Holdings: As of early Q2 2026, Strategy holds over 818,000 BTC, making it the largest listed Bitcoin treasury globally, meaning any recalibration of Bitcoin price targets directly impacts its equity valuation, which explains the downward adjustment to $570.
- Funding Model Defense: In a research piece, Benchmark defended Strategy's perpetual preferred funding model, arguing that using perpetual capital to buy Bitcoin is sustainable and rejecting comparisons to a Ponzi scheme, indicating that despite the lower target, Strategy remains a pioneer in corporate Bitcoin adoption.
