As a seasoned researcher with years of experience navigating the complex world of finance and technology, I find the recent surge of the MicroStrategy leveraged ETF (MSTX) intriguing. With my finger constantly on the pulse of market trends, it’s fascinating to witness such rapid growth in just six days, amassing $127 million in assets.
The recently introduced MicroStrategy exchange-traded fund (ETF), represented by the symbol $MSTX, is swiftly making a name for itself and becoming popular on Wall Street.
In a matter of only six days since its launch, the MSTX ETF has accumulated an impressive $127 million in assets, as reported by Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg.
The ETF, which seeks to deliver 175% of MicroStrategy’s daily stock return, has been trading at over $100 million in volume per day, showing strong investor interest in MicroStrategy and Bitcoin (BTC).
On August 23rd, there was a 20% increase in the ETF following a tumultuous week, during which it dropped by 10% the day before. Balchunas referred to this ETF as the “stock bull” of ETFs due to its high volatility and potential for substantial short-term profits and losses.
Issued by Defiance ETFs, known for its thematic and leveraged funds, $MSTX allows investors to amplify their exposure to Bitcoin, as MicroStrategy’s stock is widely viewed as a proxy for the cryptocurrency.
MicroStrategy’s goals
One of the biggest companies that owns Bitcoin, MicroStrategy, has revealed intentions to garner a $2 billion fund through the sale of its Class A shares. This money will be used to purchase more Bitcoin and repay any outstanding debts.
According to the second-quarter financial report, MicroStrategy disclosed purchasing approximately 12,222 Bitcoins for a grand total of more than $805 million. This addition now increases their overall Bitcoin portfolio to approximately 226,500 units.
In simple terms, South Korea’s National Pension Service has bought $33.75 million worth of 24,500 shares in MicroStrategy, and other funds like Japan’s Government Pension Investment Fund and Michigan’s Retirement System are also investing through Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). This increasing institutional investment indicates a gradual yet significant move towards adding Bitcoin to conventional investment portfolios.
