Strategy Stock Surges 16% Amid Regulatory Developments Favoring Bitcoin
On September 18, Strategy (MSTR) stock surged by 16%, closing at $154. The rally was driven by a combination of a Bitcoin price rebound and two favorable regulatory developments in Washington. A House committee advanced legislation to create a federal Strategic Bitcoin Reserve on September 16, followed the next day by an SEC exemption allowing tokenized U.S. stock trading platforms. CEO Phong Le reaffirmed Strategy's commitment to accumulating more Bitcoin, with holdings now at 840,050 coins. Despite previous sales of Bitcoin in May and July used for preferred dividends, investors responded positively to the renewed accumulation strategy. Analysts remain optimistic about MSTR despite a declining mean price target from $530 in June 2025 to $229 as of September 18. The stock currently has 16 analyst ratings: 13 buys, 2 outperforms, and 1 hold. The mean target implies a potential 48% upside over the current price.
