The bank lifted its MicroStrategy price target to $510, representing 24% potential upside, the report said.

Berenberg raised its bitcoin (BTC) price forecast for April 2024 to $56,630, the investment bank said in an analyst report Wednesday. The world's largest cryptocurrency by market value was trading around $30,800 at publication time.

“Supporting our expectation that bitcoin will appreciate significantly in the coming months is improved sentiment driven by anticipation of the estimated to occur in April 2024, and demonstrated by large institutions,” analysts led by Mark Palmer wrote.

The bank reiterated its buy rating on stock of MicroStrategy, a business intelligence software developer that has invested heavily in bitcoin, and raised its share price target to $510 from $430 due to a higher estimate of the value of the company’s BTC holdings and improved forecast for the value of its software business. The shares closed Tuesday at $411.18.

The bank said it was raising its estimates for the value of the company's bitcoin holdings as of late April 2024 to $8.74 billion from $6.27 billion. It increased its estimate for the value of the business intelligence software business to $1.37 billion from $859 million.

In 2025, the stablecoin market shows strong signs of growth. Research indicates that the market cap of USD-pegged stablecoins has surged 46% year-over-year, with total trading volume reaching $27.6 trillion, surpassing the combined volume of Visa and Mastercard transactions in 2024. The average circulating supply is also up 28% from the previous year, reflecting sustained market demand. Once used primarily for crypto trading and DeFi collateral, stablecoins are now expanding into cross-border payments and real-world asset management, reinforcing their growing importance in the global financial system. More banks and enterprises are starting to issue their own stablecoins. Standard Chartered launched an HKD-backed stablecoin, and PayPal issued PYUSD. The CEO of Bank of America has expressed interest in launching a stablecoin once regulations permit (via CNBC). Fidelity is developing its own USD stablecoin, while JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America plan to follow suit when market conditions stabilize. Meanwhile, World Liberty Financial (backed by the Trump family) has introduced USD1, backed by assets such as government bonds and cash.
