MicroStrategy Inc. is positioning itself to transform how capital is preserved and transferred globally, according to a recent report by Bernstein Research—and the company’s outspoken co-founder Michael Saylor says the company aims to become a “Bitcoin bank” with a potential trillion-dollar valuation.

Bernstein has rated MicroStrategy as “Outperform,” with a price target of $290, reflecting a 39% upside from its current price of $209, according to Google Finance. The report states that MicroStrategy’s significant investment in Bitcoin is the key driver behind this optimistic projection.

MicroStrategy has gained attention for its large-scale Bitcoin acquisition strategy under the guidance of Saylor, the firm’s Executive Chairman and former CEO. Since 2020, the company has accumulated 252,200 Bitcoin, or $15.8 billion worth as of this writing, making it the largest publicly traded corporate holder of the cryptocurrency.

During an event this week hosted by Bernstein, Saylor explained the rationale behind MicroStrategy’s embrace of Bitcoin.
