BSTZ: A Backdoor Into Anthropic And Databricks At A 7% Discount

I recommend BlackRock Science and Technology Term Trust with a Buy rating for diversified exposure to both public and private AI-driven technology equities. BSTZ's portfolio is concentrated in AI growth themes, including significant positions in Databricks (13.51% of net assets) and Anthropic (4.08%), capturing enterprise AI adoption trends. The fund trades at a -7% discount to NAV, but near-term returns are expected to be driven by asset appreciation rather than NAV convergence.
