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.

The fund may engage in securities lending up to 33 1/3% of total assets and can invest up to 15% in illiquid securities.

MicroStrategy has been adopting a Bitcoin treasury strategy since 2020, with many other companies following suit recently.

The ETF aims to capitalize on MicroStrategy’s investments by utilizing its derivatives positions as novel financial instruments, highlighting investors’ growing appetite to use MicroStrategy as a proxy for Bitcoin exposure.
