MIAMI, Aug. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Defiance ETFs is proud to unveil MSTX, the first single-stock long leveraged ETF for MicroStrategy. MSTX seeks to provide 175% long daily targeted exposure to MicroStrategy. Defiance’s single-stock ETFs provide leveraged exposure to disruptive companies without the need for a margin account.
MicroStrategy, known for its visionary approach to data analytics and business intelligence, has emerged as a prominent player in the Bitcoin market. With a strategic focus on becoming one of the largest holders of Bitcoin, MicroStrategy has captured the attention of investors seeking leveraged exposure to Bitcoin. As of the end of Q1 2024, MicroStrategy held approximately 214,400 bitcoins with a market value of around $15.22 billion.
"As we introduce MSTX, our long leverage MicroStrategy ETF, we're amplifying the potential for investors seeking long leveraged exposure to Bitcoin. Given MicroStrategy's inherent higher beta compared to Bitcoin, MSTX offers a unique opportunity for investors to maximize their leverage exposure to the Bitcoin market within an ETF wrapper," says Sylvia Jablonski, CEO of Defiance ETFs.
The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. The Fund pursues a daily leveraged investment objective, which means that the Fund is riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Fund magnifies the performance of its Underlying Security. The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by sophisticated investors, such as traders and active investors employing dynamic strategies. Investors who do not understand the Funds, or do not intend to actively manage their funds and monitor their investments should not buy shares of the Funds.

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investment strategy will be properly implemented, and an investor may lose some or all of its investment.
Underlying Security Risk. The underlying security is subject to many risks that can negatively impact the Fund.
Leverage Risk. Leverage may increase the risk of loss and cause fluctuations in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio to have disproportionately large effects or cause the NAV of the Fund generally to decline faster than it would otherwise.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives may be more sensitive to changes in market conditions and may amplify risks.
Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from the Fund performance, before fees and expenses.
Single Issuer Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment in the Fund to be more volatile than a traditional pooled investment which diversifies risk or the market generally. The value of the Fund, which focuses on an individual security, may be more volatile than a traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of a traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole.
MSTR Performance Risk. MSTR may fail to meet its publicly announced guidelines or other expectations about its business, which could cause the price of MSTR to decline.
Bitcoin Risk. While the Fund will not directly invest in digital assets, it will be subject to the risks associated with Bitcoin by virtue of its investments in options contracts that reference MSTR.
New Fund Risk. As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund has no operating history and currently has fewer assets than larger funds. Like other new funds, large inflows and outflows may impact the Fund’s market exposure for limited periods of time.
