Stock value escalates by 32% in April, ahead of the Q1 2025 financial report.
Bitcoin Stormer! MicroStrategy's Sparkling April and Big Plans
Take a gander at the intriguing happenings with MicroStrategy (MSTR)! April saw the Bitcoin-centric company's stock hoist itself by an amazing 32%, marking its best month since November. The stock closed the month at $380.11, a significant jump from the $288 at the end of March.
With Q1 2025 financials due on May 1 after US market close, eager investors are anticipating MicroStrategy's earnings call. CEO Michael Saylor will be hosting a webinar at 9 PM UTC to dish the deets.
The financial whizzes are estimating a Q1 revenue of $116.6 million, a nose-worthy year-over-year expansion of 1%. This figure would witness a 3.40% decline compared to Q4 2024, when the company reported a net loss of $670.8 million from its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition spree.
During that quarter, MicroStrategy added 218,887 Bitcoin to its stash, bringing the current count to a whopping 553,555 Bitcoin – translating to approximately $52.57 billion at current prices. The company inked a new sales agreement on March 10 to issue and sell shares of its 8% Series A perpetual strike preferred stock, helping pump funds for general corporate purposes, including potential Bitcoin purchases.
Fueling the hype, Apollo Sat's founder Thomas Fahrer claimed on April 30 that MicroStrategy "will announce a massive capital raise" during their earnings call. However, the confirmed raise is $21 billion, revealed during the Q1 2025 financial results announcement on May 1, 2025 [1].
Though no direct evidence supports Fahrer's claim of a potential $100 billion raise, the confirmed raise puts the largest confirmed capital raise in MicroStrategy’s Q1 disclosures to date[1]. A more aggressive strategy, such as acquiring companies to leverage their cash reserves for Bitcoin purchases, has also been proposed by industry experts.
Life's been swell for MicroStrategy investors thus far, with the stock seeing a 37% growth in 2025. The stock’s drastic surge in November 2024, correlating with Bitcoin hitting $100,000 for the first time on December 5, was followed by an impressive April increase this year.
The analyst brigade appears cautiously upbeat on MicroStrategy’s future. Based on one-year price targets from 13 analysts, the average target for MicroStrategy stock stands at $446.20, with a range from $200.00 to $600.00, indicating a decent upside of nearly 17% from its current value.
Curios investors will be keeping tabs on MicroStrategy’s earnings report for updates on its Bitcoin holdings' growth and the implications of new Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rules, which led to an unrealized loss of $5.91 billion on its Bitcoin holdings in the past.
In the last two years, MicroStrategy has beaten revenue estimates 25% of the time. For Q1 2025, analysts predict a narrower loss per share compared to the same quarter last year, at $0.11. Giddy up, MicroStrategy!
