🚨 CITI JUST RAISED ITS $MSTR TARGET 🚨
Citi has increased its price target for $MSTR from $136 to $240 while keeping its Buy rating. 👀
That’s a pretty big jump and definitely something $MSTR holders should keep on their radar.
With Strategy continuing to build its Bitcoin exposure, I’m keeping a close eye on this one. 📈₿
What do you guys think — can $MSTR reach $240? 👀

Citigroup has sharply raised its price target for Strategy ($MSTR ), lifting it to $240 from $136 while maintaining a Buy rating. The revision comes after Citi significantly increased its outlook for Bitcoin over the next 12 months. Yahoo Finance+1
📈 Why did Citi raise its target?
The biggest driver is Bitcoin.
Citi has raised its 12-month base-case Bitcoin forecast to approximately $113,000, up about 39% from its previous forecast of roughly $82,000. Reuters separately reported Citi's revised Bitcoin forecast at $113,000, citing stronger crypto activity, favorable macro conditions and renewed ETF inflows. Reuters
Citi's revised MSTR valuation reportedly incorporates two major components:
~34% of the modeled upside from a higher Bitcoin price~16% from an expansion in Strategy's multiple to net asset value, or mNAV Yahoo Finance
Citi also raised its assumed Bitcoin Yield Multiple to 4.0x from 2.5x, resulting in an mNAV assumption of approximately 1.24x, compared with 1.065x previously. Yahoo Finance
🟠 MSTR remains a leveraged Bitcoin play
Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, holds Bitcoin as the core component of its corporate treasury strategy. Because of that structure, changes in Bitcoin's price can have a substantial effect on MSTR's valuation.
But MSTR isn't simply Bitcoin at spot price.
The stock's valuation also depends on factors such as its mNAV premium, capital-raising activity, Bitcoin acquisition strategy and per-share Bitcoin exposure. Citi's latest model assumes some expansion in that valuation premium alongside a higher Bitcoin price. Crypto Basic+1
🔥 A major reversal from Citi's July target
The magnitude of the change is notable.
In July, Citi had cut its MSTR target from $260 to $136, while still maintaining a Buy rating, after lowering its Bitcoin forecast to approximately $81,800. Investing.com+1
The latest $240 target therefore represents a major reversal, reflecting Citi's substantially higher Bitcoin assumptions.
MSTR closed at approximately $160.50 on October 1, according to market data reported today. At that reference price, Citi's $240 target is about 50% higher—but it is important to treat that figure as Citi's 12-month valuation target, not a guaranteed future price. StockAnalysis.com+1
⚠️ What could change the thesis?
Citi's target depends significantly on assumptions about Bitcoin and Strategy's valuation relative to its underlying assets.
If Bitcoin fails to reach Citi's roughly $113,000 forecast, or if MSTR's mNAV multiple contracts rather than expands, the assumptions supporting the $240 target would change. Conversely, stronger Bitcoin performance or a higher valuation premium could alter the upside case. Crypto Basic+1
Bottom line
Citi has confirmedly raised its $MSTR target from $136 to $240 while maintaining a Buy rating. The primary catalyst is its substantially higher Bitcoin forecast, combined with an assumption of greater valuation support for Strategy relative to its Bitcoin holdings. TipRanks+1
$MSTR is once again being valued through the lens of Bitcoin — and Citi's latest call shows just how sensitive the stock can be to changes in the bank's BTC outlook.
