Strive Asset Management, co-founded by Vivek Ramaswamy, filed to launch a Bitcoin Bond ETF with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
What is Strive's Bitcoin Bond ETF
The Strive Bitcoin Bond ETF will be an actively managed fund. It will invest in company-issued bonds that are expected to direct the proceeds toward Bitcoin purchases. Additionally, the ETF will have exposure to these bonds via derivatives, such as swaps and options, allowing for indirect exposure to Bitcoin-linked financial instruments.
Strategy for Economic Stability
Since its founding in 2022, Strive Asset Management has placed emphasis on addressing broader economic concerns including inflation and the fiat debt crisis. Strive views Bitcoin as a valuable hedge against these risks, positioning it as a central element of a diversified portfolio.
MicroStrategy’s Influence on Strategy
A key element of Strive’s strategy involves MicroStrategy, the company known for its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy. Since 2020, MicroStrategy has invested over $27 billion into Bitcoin, becoming one of the largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency.
Strive Asset Management's venture into Bitcoin bonds through an ETF may offer investors potential benefits by leveraging cryptocurrency growth while minimizing risk. The expected approval by the SEC marks a crucial step in accessing new financial instruments.
