What Analysts Are Saying About MPLX Stock

Powell Says Housing Inflation Has Come Down Steadily,  Goods Inflation Has Returned To Pre-Pandemic Range Overall

<p><em>Editor's Note: The spelling of Michael Saylor&#8217;s name has been corrected in the headline.</em></p>
<p>Financial market commentator <strong>Peter Schiff</strong> on Tuesday criticized <strong>Michael Saylor&#8217;s </strong>comparison of <strong>MicroStrategy Inc.</strong>&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) debt-financed <strong>Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) buying strategy to Manhattan real estate.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened</strong>: In an X post, Schiff disagreed with Saylor&#8217;s analogy. &#8220;Real estate generates rents, which can be used to service and repay debt. Bitcoin doesn&#8217;t generate any income to make interest or principal payments,&#8221; he argued.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><br />
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">It&#39;s wrong for <a href="https://twitter.com/saylor?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@saylor</a> to compare his leveraged buying of <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a> to investors borrowing money to purchase Manhattan real estate. Real estate generates rents, which can be used to service and repay debt. Bitcoin doesn&#39;t generate any income to make interest or principal payments.</p>
<p>&mdash; Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/status/1869116244714262623?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 17, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
<p></p></figure></p>
<p><strong>Spencer Hakimian</strong>, founder of hedge fund <strong>Tolou Capital Management</strong>, countered Schiff&#8217;s viewpoint, stating that, unlike the Manhattan real estate industry, Bitcoin doesn&#8217;t have any expenses or maintenance.</p>
<p>Schiff responded that rents from real estate exceed the expenses.</p>
<p>The city&#8217;s rental market contradicts national trends, with the top 50 markets experiencing 15 consecutive months of rent decreases. In October 2024, New York&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42256888/as-nyc-rents-hit-new-highs-85-of-residents-look-to-buy-elsewhere-heres-what-they-find">median asking rent</a> increased 1.7% year-on-year to $3,374, representing a 13.1% increase from pre-pandemic values. Manhattan&#8217;s median monthly rent stood at $4,750 as of this writing, according to Realtor.com.</p>

<p><strong>Why It Matters</strong>: This criticism comes after Saylor defended MicroStrategy&#8217;s Bitcoin acquisition strategy by equating it to Manhattan&#8217;s real estate industry. He said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42524546/michael-saylor-counters-critics-who-label-microstrategys-bitcoin-play-ponzi-scheme-calls-it-similar-to-manhattans-real-estate-developers-using-debt-to-build-more-skyscrapers">just like developers in Manhattan issue more debt </a>to develop more real estate when its value goes up, MicroStrategy capitalizes on high returns from Bitcoin to buy more Bitcoin.</p>
<p>Schiff&#8217;s critique adds to the ongoing debate around MicroStrategy&#8217;s Bitcoin strategy. Earlier, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42237876/peter-schiff-predicts-microstrategys-bankruptcy-due-to-bitcoin-investment-strategy">warned that the</a> company's commitment to repay a large sum of money to convertible note holders could be a potential risk if the price of Bitcoin falls sharply.</p>
<p>Well-known cryptocurrency analyst <strong>Willy Woo</strong> also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42228264/crypto-analyst-flags-convertible-debt-induced-liquidation-risk-to-michael-saylors-microstrategy">flagged the risk </a>associated with the firm&#8217;s convertible debt offerings, stating that if buyers do not convert to shares&nbsp;before maturity, MicroStrategy would be forced to sell Bitcoin to repay them.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action</strong>:&nbsp; At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $105,351.94, down 0.86% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. </p>
<p>Shares of MicroStrategy closed 5.41% lower at $ 386.42 during Tuesday&#8217;s regular session. The stock has a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MSTR">consensus price target </a>of $449.5 based on the ratings of 12 analysts, with an average price target of $546.67 between&nbsp;<strong>Bernstein</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>TD Cowen</strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>Barclays</strong>.</p>
