ETF issuer applied for an ETF that could invest 25% of assets in MicroStrategy
CoinDesk has just revealed that an upstart exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuer applied for a ETF that could invest its “up to 25% of the fund’s assets in MicroStrategy” with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) the other day.
It’s been reported that the San Francisco-based Volt Equity applied for the ETF under its Volt ETF Trust and shares of it would trade on NYSE Arca.
“The ETF would give investors exposure to bitcoin (BTC, -9.23%) companies or companies that have invested in bitcoin both in the U.S. and abroad. The fund would compete with similar funds filed by Bitwise and Valkyrie,” the online publication noted.
According to the official reports, at least 80% of the assets in the fund will go toward investing directly in those companies or in options or ETFs related to those companies.
It’s been also revealed that the fund could also invest up to 20% broadly in the equities market “to offset risk in the portfolio.”
