Siebert Financial analyst sets $175K Bitcoin target, $350 Strategy target

Brian Vieten, head of digital assets research at Siebert Financial, told Bitcoin Magazine that the firm sees Bitcoin reaching $175K within the next 12 months and Strategy hitting $350 a share alongside it. He says the June low near $58K marked seller exhaustion across miners, exchanges, treasury companies and lenders, and cites sticky ETF demand, Strategy's digital credit engine and the GENIUS Act.

Claims and open questions

What sources claim

  • Siebert Financial sees Bitcoin reaching $175K within the next 12 months, according to Brian Vieten, its head of digital assets research.
  • Siebert holds a Buy rating and a $350 price target on Strategy, based on the $175K Bitcoin forecast and not assuming any mNAV expansion, Vieten said.
  • Vieten said the June low near $58K marked exhaustion across miners, exchanges, treasury companies and lenders.

Still unresolved

  • The publication does not state the methodology behind the $175K Bitcoin figure beyond Vieten's interview comments; the underlying model, timeframe assumptions and any written research note would confirm it.
  • The $350 Strategy target is described as resting on the $175K Bitcoin forecast; the full valuation assumptions and any formal published report would confirm it.
  • The claim that the June low near $58K marked seller exhaustion across miners, exchanges, treasury companies and lenders is Vieten's characterization; supporting on-chain or exchange data would be needed to assess it.
