MicroStrategy Holding Bitcoins Could Boost Company’s Fortunes
The investment bank’s bullish outlook on MicroStrategy is based on the expectation that Bitcoin will repeat its previous pattern of gains before and after the next halving event.
Bitcoin Halving Event Could Spell Success for MicroStrategy
The report notes that the price of the cryptocurrency began to rally about six months prior to each halving event, with those rallies accelerating significantly during the year or more that followed each one. The next Bitcoin halving, when rewards for mining will be cut by 50%, is expected in the second quarter of next year.

If a rally happens after the fourth halving, then it could continue until around October 2025.
