MSTY: Fails From A Structural Standpoint, Works From An Investor Pshychology Perspective
The Yieldmax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (MSTY) is an actively managed fund that aims to generate monthly income by selling call and put options on MicroStrategy (MSTR). From a performance standpoint, MSTY has failed to keep up with a direct investment in MSTR. MSTR was up 191% over the last year vs 130% for MSTY. MSTY is perceived as a fixed-income product due to its high monthly dividends, even though its distributions are derived from equity option strategies, not traditional cash flows.

MSTY: A High-Risk, High-Reward Bet On Bitcoin
The YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF offers high-yield exposure to Strategy and Bitcoin via a synthetic long position and a covered call strategy. The ETF is best suited for investors with a bullish Bitcoin outlook and a very high-risk tolerance, given its leveraged and derivative-based structure. Bitcoin recently reached an all-time high just below $123k as pro-crypto regulation -- the GENIUS Act -- changed investor sentiment for the better.
