👉 Strive Asset Management is launching a new ETF that will provide exposure to Bitcoin through convertible securities, primarily focusing on MicroStrategy’s holdings. 👉The Strive Bitcoin Bond ETF will invest at least 80% of its assets in “Bitcoin Bonds” and related derivative instruments, including swaps and options. 👉The actively managed fund will hold both direct positions in Bitcoin-linked convertible securities and derivatives, with allocation decisions based on cost and return potential. 👉The fund will maintain cash positions in short-term US Treasury securities and may invest in other Bitcoin-focused investment vehicles. 👉As a non-diversified fund, it can concentrate holdings in single issuers like MicroStrategy and allocate more than 25% of assets to software and technology sector companies. 👉Operating under a “manager of managers” structure, the ETF will be advised by Empowered Funds, LLC, which can appoint and replace sub-advisers without shareholder approval. 👉The fund’s shares will trade on the New York Stock Exchange and be held through the Depository Trust Company.
