Strategy\u2014formerly known as MicroStrategy\u2014could meaningfully accelerate its Bitcoin-buying pace this year, according to analysts at JPMorgan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The firm, led by well-known Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor, is already one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin treasury companies, and JPMorgan believes its next move may be a larger, faster round of acquisitions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Strategy Could Outpace Past Bitcoin Buying<\/span><\/h2>\n

Strategy currently holds more than 818,000 Bitcoin, <\/span>according <\/span><\/a>to BitcoinTreasuries.net. Purchases have been active throughout 2026: the company reportedly added over 145,000 BTC in just five months, which is estimated at roughly $11 billion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

JPMorgan analysts, however, said that amount could rise substantially. Under their view, Strategy\u2019s Bitcoin purchases this year could reach $30 billion over the course of the year. At today\u2019s implied annualized pace, that would put 2026 purchases far above the roughly $22 billion acquired across 2024 and 2025 combined.<\/span><\/p>\n

JPMorgan pointed to a change in momentum in April, saying Strategy \u201cappears to have re-accelerated its bitcoin purchases.\u201d The analysts tied the behavior to what they described as an increasingly opportunistic buying pattern.<\/span><\/p>\n

The optimism around Strategy\u2019s plan also showed up in analyst price targets. On Thursday, TD Cowen <\/span>raised its target price<\/span><\/a> for the company\u2019s stock, MSTR, from $385 to $395.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As of the time of writing, MSTR closed at $179, translating to an 18% gain since the beginning of the year. If TD Cowen\u2019s forecast were to play out, the implied move would represent about a 120% jump from current levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Net Loss Vs. Big Forecast<\/span><\/h2>\n

Analysts also highlighted the financing approach by Strategy behind the acquisitions. They say the firm\u2019s increased use of STRC (variable-rate perpetual preferred stock) to fund Bitcoin purchases could improve capital efficiency, making it more attractive relative to prevailing market pricing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, the company\u2019s latest financial picture includes major losses. Strategy reported a net loss of $12.54 billion for the quarter, driven largely by an unrealized decline in Bitcoin fair value of $14.46 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking ahead, the base case and scenarios for Strategy reflect a bullish outlook. The firm\u2019s base case is that Bitcoin could reach approximately $140,000 by the end of 2026, with an upside scenario of about $175,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Separately, Joseph Vafi at Canaccord Genuity reiterated a Buy rating on May 7, lifting his MSTR price target from $185 to $224. Canaccord noted that since Bitcoin has rebounded\u2014moving up from its roughly $62,000 low to more than $80,000\u2014Strategy has continued to \u201cweather another perceived storm.<\/span><\/p>\n
