Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) shares are inching higher in Wednesday's pre-market trading, fueled by progress on its planned spot exchange-traded fund tracking the price of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).
What happened: NYSE Arca, a subsidiary of the New York Stock Exchange, submitted a proposed rule change to the SEC to list and trade shares of the Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF.
The 19b-4 filing stated that the trust is a passive investment vehicle that seeks to reflect the price performance of the two largest cryptocurrencies by market value.&nbsp;
The trust's sponsor is Yorkville America Digital, LLC, with Foris DAX Trust Company, LLC, a Crypto.com affiliate, serving as the custodian.
The 19b-4 filing, a mandatory second step to list any ETF on Wall Street, follows the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45953644/truth-social-etf-filing-bitcoin-ethereum">S-1 registration statement</a> filed by Trump Media last week.&nbsp;
The ETF will hold the assets in a 3:1 ratio, meaning that 75% of its assets will be invested in Bitcoin and 25% in Ether.

The company has found a liking for Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency. It announced a private offering worth $2.3 billion<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45949846/trump-medias-bitcoin-investment-plan-gets-sec-nod-unlocking-2-3-billion-in-capital"> to create a Bitcoin reserve</a>, replicating an approach <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/46089173/michael-saylor-offers-btc-credit-model-as-bill-pulte-pushes-crypto-for-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-could-bitcoin-soon-count-toward-mortgage-qualification#:~:text=His%20post%20has%20ignited%20hope,loan%20duration%2C%20and%20collateral%20coverage.">popularized</a> by Michael Saylor's Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>). The Bitcoin purchased would be held on its balance sheet alongside cash and cash equivalents.
The investment plan received a green light from the SEC last week.

Trump Media Stock Edges Higher Pre-Market After NYSE Files To List Truth Social Bitcoin And Ethereum ETF Shares

Tom Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, predicts that Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) (formerly MicroStrategy) could deliver superior returns compared to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) itself as the cryptocurrency rallies.
What Happened: &#8220;As Bitcoin goes up, MicroStrategy very likely goes up a lot more,&#8221; Lee said in a Wealthion interview reposted on X.
MicroStrategy transformed from a software company into one of the world&#8217;s largest corporate Bitcoin holders through an aggressive debt-fueled acquisition strategy. The company now holds 592,100 Bitcoin worth approximately $60 billion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46045511/strategys-michael-saylor-signals-no-halt-to-bitcoin-purchases-despite-plunge-below-100000-peter-schiff-asks-who-else-is-buying-the-dip">generating an unrealized gain of 43%</a> according to recent filings.
Lee explained the company&#8217;s innovative financing approach allows it to issue convertible bonds at &#8220;almost no interest cost&#8221; to purchase additional Bitcoin. This strategy has created a premium valuation mechanism where MicroStrategy trades based on its Bitcoin holdings rather than its legacy software business performance.

The Tyson Corner-based company recently completed a $1 billion Bitcoin purchase funded through its new Stride preferred stock offering, bringing its total cryptocurrency treasury near 600,000 coins.

Price Action: Bitcoin currently trades at $106,582, up 1.67% in 24 hours, with a market capitalization exceeding $2.1 trillion. MicroStrategy shares closed at $377.02, gaining 2.68% Tuesday and advancing 25.67% year-to-date.

Tom Lee Says MicroStrategy Could Outpace Bitcoin Gains: 'Goes Up A Lot More' As BTC Rallies

The U.S. housing finance landscape may be on the brink of a huge shift as Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte, appointed in March 2025 under President Donald Trump, announced plans to study cryptocurrency holdings, including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), for mortgage qualifications.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/fnma">FNMA stock here</a>.
What Happened: This move has sparked widespread interest and debate, with Strategy Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) Michael Saylor stepping forward to offer Strategy's (formerly MicroStrategy) Bitcoin Credit Model to support the initiative.
Pulte, a known Bitcoin advocate and grandson of Pulte Homes' founder, oversees the FHFA, which regulates $7.5 trillion in mortgage-backed securities through Fannie Mae (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNMA#OTC">FNMA</a>) and Freddie Mac (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMCC#OTC">FMCC</a>).
His post has ignited hope among crypto enthusiasts. &#8220;We will study the usage of cryptocurrency holdings as it relates to qualifying for mortgages,&#8221; with Saylor responding by sharing a model assessing BTC risk based on price volatility, loan duration, and collateral coverage.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">We have developed a BTC Credit model that we are happy to share. It takes into account Loan Duration, Collateral Coverage, BTC Price, BTC Volatility, and BTC ARR outlook to generate statistical BTC Risk and BTC Credit spreads.

</figure>
Meanwhile, the Bitcoin Policy Institute <a href="https://www.btcpolicy.org/articles/the-powerful-fannie-mae-policy-change-to-unlock-bitcoin-based-mortgages">hails</a> this as a potential game-changer, noting that 14% of Americans own Bitcoin, while close to 28% of Americans are said to own some kind of cryptocurrency. 
A tweak to Fannie Mae's Selling Guide to recognize Bitcoin as collateral could unlock homeownership for millions, aligning with Trump's vision to make the U.S. the "Bitcoin Capital of the planet."

Why It Matters: As highlighted by the Bitcoin Policy Institute, due to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac&#8217;s significant financial influence in the mortgage market and indirect control by government entities, both set the industry standards that all other home lenders follow.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac&#8217;s securitization guidelines for lenders often become the unofficial rules for the entire mortgage industry.
&#8220;If Fannie Mae amended key language in their Selling Guide (SEL-2022-04) on virtual currencies, it would unlock the ability for Americans to use bitcoin as collateral for home loans,&#8221; stated the Bitcoin Policy Institute note.
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, rose on Tuesday.

Michael Saylor Offers BTC Credit Model As Bill Pulte Pushes Crypto For Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac: Could Bitcoin Soon Count Toward Mortgage Qualification?

Entrepreneur and investor Anthony Pompliano stated Tuesday that his newly launched Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) treasury company designed a unique structure that allows it to buy the leading cryptocurrency immediately after raising funds.
What happened: Pompliano took to X, stating that several companies have raised large sums but cannot buy Bitcoin immediately because their funding is &#8220;contingent on closing" of the deals and mergers.
"For my deal, we were able to design a structure that allowed ProCap BTC, LLC (private company), to accept the funding immediately and start buying bitcoin," he added.

Pompliano said the Bitcoin is held in escrow, i.e., placed in a custody or trust, until the merger with Columbus Circle Capital I Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCCM#NASDAQ">CCCM</a>) closes. This approach gives investors early exposure to Bitcoin price movements.

Why It Matters: Pompliano's remarks follow ProCap's acquisition of 3,724 Bitcoin, worth $395.62 million, within 24 hours of announcing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46080751/anthony-pomplianos-procap-buys-over-3700-bitcoin-whats-driving-the-aggressive-bet">$1 billion business combination</a> and over $750 million in fundraising.
The company would merge with Columbus Circle as part of a Special Purpose Acquisition Company, a deal that would take it public under the name ProCap Financial, Inc.

Shares of crypto-linked stocks and miners are trading higher amid a rise in Bitcoin.

Memecoins erupted Monday as the cryptocurrency market made a sharp recovery following President Donald Trump&#8217;s ceasefire announcement in the Iran-Israel conflict.
What happened: Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based Dogwifhat led the gains, jumping more than 20% in the last 24 hours to become the market's third-most successful cryptocurrency. The coin&#8217;s volume popped 75% to $518 million, indicating high trader interest and liquidity.
Bonk, another Solana-based memecoin, lifted more than 13%, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)-based Floki also made similar strides.

Meme heavyweights Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) also staged strong recoveries, surging 7.20% and 9%, respectively.
The meme coin market capitalization rose 9.52% to $52.74 billion in the last 24 hours, while trading volume recorded a 13.32% spike.
The Monday rally helped reverse some of last week&#8217;s losses, which were triggered by growing Middle East tensions and the U.S. involvement in the conflict. The memecoin market lost 26% of its value over the last week.
However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/46066361/us-iran-nuclear-deal-in-2025-crypto-bettors-on-polymarket-see-strong-chance-after-trumps-ceasefire-announcement">optimism returned</a> after Trump announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, sending Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and the rest of the market higher. Notably, the Iranian Foreign Minister has denied any ceasefire agreement.

Dogwifhat Leaps 20%, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu Climb As Memecoins Spike After Trump Announces Iran-Israel Ceasefire

Ex-executives of a cryptocurrency hedge fund are reportedly aiming to raise $100 million to invest in the BNB (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>) token, in a move seen as replicating Michael Saylor's Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) treasury strategy.
What happened: Former executives of venture capital firm Coral Capital Holdings are behind the initiative, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-23/hedge-fund-execs-eye-100-million-for-accumulating-bnb-token?embedded-checkout=true">reported </a>Monday, citing an investor document.
The report said that the fundraising is supposed to be completed this month, after which the accumulation of BNB tokens will start through a Nasdaq-listed company, soon to be renamed Build &amp; Build Corporation.
Binance founder Changpeng "CZ" Zhao acknowledged the development on X, stating, "BNB ‘microstrategy' coming to a company near you!"&nbsp;
However, he added that such initiatives were not driven by him or Binance and emphasized that BNB is a "public blockchain native coin."

The company will secure the funds through a combination of private placements, including roughly $195 million in equity securities and $189 million in secured convertible debentures, according to a release <a href="https://sequans.com/press-release/sequans-announces-384m-strategic-investment-to-launch-bitcoin-treasury-initiative/">issued </a>Monday.
The funding round is expected to close by July 1, pending shareholder approval at its June 30 meeting and standard closing conditions.
"Our bitcoin treasury strategy reflects our strong conviction in Bitcoin as a premier asset and a compelling long-term investment," said Georges Karam, CEO of Sequans. "We believe Bitcoin's unique characteristics will enhance our financial resilience and deliver significant value to our shareholders."
Sequans plans to partner with Swan Bitcoin to manage its Bitcoin treasury operations. 
The company emphasized that while it is expanding into bitcoin, its core mission of supporting IoT customers and advancing its 4G and 5G product offerings remains unchanged.
The private placement includes a mix of ordinary shares, American Depositary Shares (ADSs), and common warrants priced at $1.40 per ADS and warrant. 
The debt portion of the offering is contingent upon the company securing at least $195 million from the equity raise.

Northland Capital Markets and B. Riley Securities are joint lead placement agents, and Yorkville Securities is also participating.
Legal counsel for the deal includes Lowenstein Sandler LLP and ARCHERS for Sequans, and Goodwin Procter LLP for the placement agents.
Sequans' move aligns it with a growing list of publicly traded companies adding Bitcoin to their treasuries.
The most notable is Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), which began accumulating Bitcoin in 2020 and now holds over 214,400 BTC, according to its most recent filings. 
MicroStrategy&#8217;s aggressive Bitcoin purchases, led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, have made it the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally and a key player in driving institutional Bitcoin adoption.
Meanwhile, Metaplanet, a Tokyo-listed company, has been rapidly scaling its Bitcoin treasury. 
As of June 2025, Metaplanet has acquired 11,111 BTC at an average purchase price of $95,869 per Bitcoin, valued at around $1.12 billion at current market prices. 
The company surpassed Coinbase Inc. in corporate bitcoin holdings and recently revised its goals, aiming to accumulate 30,000 BTC by the end of 2025, 100,000 BTC by 2026, and 210,000 BTC by 2027.

Sequans Takes A Page From MicroStrategy: Is Bitcoin The New Corporate Treasury Play?

Professional Capital Management CEO Anthony Pompliano has announced a $1 billion merger to launch ProCap Financial, a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto">Bitcoin-focused financial services firm</a>.
The company, formed through a business combination with Columbus Circle Capital Corp. I (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCCM#NASDAQ">CCCM</a>), <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/06/23/3103348/0/en/Anthony-Pompliano-Strikes-1-Billion-Merger-to-Create-ProCap-Financial-Raises-Over-750M-in-Largest-Initial-Fundraise-in-History-for-Public-Bitcoin-Treasury-Company.html">plans </a>to hold up to $1 billion worth of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) on its balance sheet.
The deal represents the largest initial fundraising in history for a publicly traded Bitcoin treasury company: $516.5 million in equity and $235 million in convertible notes.
Pompliano's venture secured backing from a mix of institutional and crypto-native investors including Magnetar Capital, Woodline Partners, Anson Funds, RK Capital, Off the Chain Capital, Parafi, Blockchain.com, Arrington Capital, BSQ Capital Partners, and FalconX. 
Morgan Creek Capital founder Mark Yusko, Main Street Ventures founder Jason Williams, Semler Scientific&#8217;s Eric Semler, renowned poker player Tony Guoga, and Eight Sleep CEO Matteo Franceschetti also participated.
ProCap Financial aims to actively acquire bitcoin and generate revenue from its holdings through diversified, risk-managed strategies.

&#8220;The legacy financial system is being disrupted by Bitcoin. ProCap Financial represents our solution to the increasing demand for Bitcoin-native financial services among sophisticated investors,&#8221; Pompliano said.
The company plans to offer financial services that leverage its bitcoin treasury. It aims to position itself as a leader in the emerging market for digital asset-backed financial platforms.
ProCap's public listing will provide equity investors with immediate exposure to Bitcoin through the company's balance sheet structure.
The merger and initial capital raise signal growing institutional appetite for Bitcoin treasury companies, a trend previously accelerated by firms like MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) and Metaplanet, which have aggressively accumulated bitcoin to diversify their corporate treasuries.

Anthony Pompliano Unveils ProCap Financial With $1B Bitcoin Treasury After $750M Fundraise

Strategy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NYSE">MSTR</a>) short percent of float has fallen 14.84% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 23.52 million shares sold short, which is 9.07% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.69 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Strategy Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750687220_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Strategy has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Strategy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Strategy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.58%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Is the Market Bullish or Bearish on Strategy?

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor hinted at more Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) purchases Sunday, despite the apex cryptocurrency's dip below $100,000 due to escalating Middle East tensions.
What happened: Saylor posted a chart that tracks the company&#8217;s Bitcoin purchases on X, with the caption, &#8220;Nothing Stops This Orange.&#8221;
Saylor has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44784106/michael-saylor-teases-bitcoin-purchases-after-a-two-week-halt-with-no-tariffs-on-orange-dots">writing such cryptic Sunday posts for several months now</a>, and they nearly always precede Bitcoin purchases the following Monday.&nbsp;

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Semler Scientific (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMLR#NASDAQ">SMLR</a>), one of the earliest publicly traded U.S. companies to adopt Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as a primary treasury reserve asset, announced Thursday that it plans to accumulate at least 10,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2025 and expand that position to 105,000 BTC by the close of 2027. 
The company's <a href="https://ir.semlerscientific.com/news-releases/news-release-details/semler-scientificr-appoints-joe-burnett-director-bitcoin">strategy </a>echoes the aggressive accumulation paths taken by MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) and Metaplanet, signaling intensifying institutional competition in corporate Bitcoin treasuries.
Since adopting Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset in May 2024, Semler has achieved a 287% Bitcoin yield, generating an unrealized gain of $177 million as of June 3, 2025. 
"Since adopting the Bitcoin Standard, we have achieved approximately 287% BTC Yield and a $177 million BTC $ Gain through June 3, 2025," said Eric Semler, chairman of Semler Scientific. 
The firm currently holds 4,449 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $464 million, and plans to fund further acquisitions through equity offerings, debt financing, and operational cash flows.

Semler's strategy mirrors that of MicroStrategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder with approximately 592,100 Bitcoin, valued at over $61 billion at current prices. 
MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, has inspired firms like Semler to treat Bitcoin as a long-term store of value, using debt and equity to fuel acquisitions. 
Similarly, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has emerged as a major player, surpassing 10,000 Bitcoin in June 2025 and targeting 210,000 by 2027, equivalent to 1% of Bitcoin's 21 million fixed supply. 
Metaplanet's rapid accumulation, funded by a $5.4 billion share issuance, underscores Asia's growing appetite for corporate Bitcoin holdings.
Semler's announcement triggered an 11% surge in its stock price, closing at $28.53 on June 19, despite a 40% decline in 2025 overall. 
The company continues to operate its core healthcare business, marketing FDA-cleared products like QuantaFlo for cardiovascular diagnostics, which generates cash flow to support its Bitcoin strategy.

Why A Public Healthcare Firm Wants To Hold More Bitcoin Than Most Countries

Dividend investing is gaining popularity this year as investors seek to protect their portfolios from market volatility amid the impact of tariffs. Dividend stocks have proved their mettle in market downturns. According to a <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/education/education-the-importance-of-dividends.pdf">report </a>from S&amp;P Global, the S&amp;P 500 High Dividend Index outperformed the broader S&amp;P 500 during both the dot-com bubble and the post-pandemic recession.
Earlier this month, a dividend investor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1l37sm5/my_projected_income_for_june_is_60524/">shared</a> his income report and portfolio details on r/Dividends, a Reddit community with over 730,000 followers. The investor's portfolio screenshots showed his estimated dividend income for June stood at just $60,000. He earned about $52,000 on average per month with a single dividend ETF over the past five months.

Let's take a look at some of the key holdings of the investor.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF</h2>
The YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTY#NYSE">MSTY</a>) generates income by selling call options on MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) stock. The fund is down about 21% so far this year.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
MSTY was the biggest position of the investor, accounting for about 45% of his portfolio. He started a position in the fund about five months ago with 10,000 shares and gradually increased it to 36,838 shares.
The investor said he collected about $261,400 in distributions from MSTY over the past five months with an average monthly payout of $52,000.&nbsp;
"Of course I understand the risks associated with this type of investment vehicle and nothing lasts forever, past performance is not an indicator of future performance, and well aware of NAV erosion," he said about the fund.
He plans to use MSTY's payouts to pay off the mortgage on a new apartment.
"Once that is done, I'll reduce my holdings in MSTY to generate $12-14k a month to cover my monthly expenses in NY and Thailand, where I spend a lot of time in," he added.

JPMorgan suggests that investors are indirectly exposed to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) through their investments in Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), with the passive ownership posing a risk to the stock.
What Happened:&nbsp;JPMorgan&#8217;s research, led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, revealed that investors have poured&nbsp;as much as $50 billion&nbsp;into MicroStrategy, a company that has shifted its focus to Bitcoin,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-how-bitcoin-is-entering-investor-portfolios-through-the-backdoor-3e1882c3?mod=bulletin_ribbon">MarketWatch</a>&nbsp;reported.
These investments are indirect, as around $14 billion worth of MicroStrategy shares are held by mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track an index featuring the company. This figure could be even higher, as it excludes passive or active funds that hold MicroStrategy without it being part of their benchmark, as well as institutional investors such as Norges Bank and the Swiss National Bank, which are mandated to follow index compositions.
When these additional factors are considered, the total investment in MicroStrategy&nbsp;could be closer to $50&nbsp;billion, a significant portion of the company&#8217;s $100 billion market cap.
The heavy reliance on passive funds, which make up a fifth of the company&#8217;s ownership, poses a risk to MicroStrategy&#8217;s valuation.&nbsp;The company&#8217;s presence in equity indices exposes it to the risk of removal if it no longer meets the index criteria or if those criteria are revised in the future.
&#8220;If the bitcoin price fails to achieve sustained and strong annual appreciation in the future, preferred stock issuance and the MicroStrategy stock price could come under severe pressure,&#8221; warned JPMorgan.

Why It Matters: MicroStrategy&#8217;s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation has been a topic of concern for some time. Digital asset bank Sygnum warned that the company&#8217;s Bitcoin accumulation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45955730/microstrategys-bitcoin-accumulation-threatens-its-reserve-asset-status-sygnum-says">could undermine</a> the asset&#8217;s potential as a reserve asset for central banks and other institutions.
Despite these concerns, MicroStrategy has continued to expand its Bitcoin holdings, recently&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45949930/strategy-acquires-1-05-billion-in-bitcoin-pushes-holdings-to-592100-btc-with-19-1-yield-in-2025">acquiring an additional</a> 10,100 Bitcoin for approximately $1.05 billion. This brought the company&#8217;s total holdings to 592,100 BTC, with a cumulative cost of $41.84 billion and a yield of 19.1% in 2025.
MicroStrategy&#8217;s CEO,&nbsp;Michael Saylor, has been a vocal advocate for Bitcoin,&nbsp;stating that he sees a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/45990339/michael-saylors-strategy-nears-600000-bitcoin-after-1-billion-buy-funded-by-high-yield-ipo-says-td-cowen-sees-very-safe-upside">&#8216;very safe&#8217; upside</a>&nbsp;to the company&#8217;s Bitcoin strategy. However, JPMorgan&#8217;s recent findings suggest that the company&#8217;s heavy reliance on passive funds and preferred stock financing could pose a significant risk to its valuation.
Benzinga's Edge Rankings place MicroStrategy in the 95th percentile for momentum and the 3rd percentile for growth, reflecting mixed performance.

Does Michael Saylor's MSTR Stock Face Valuation Risk Due to Heavy Reliance on Passive Funds? Top Analyst Thinks So: 'If The Bitcoin Price Falls…'

Roundhill Investments launched five new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">WeeklyPay ETFs</a>, each aiming to deliver weekly dividends without sacrificing upside or using options.
The new additions include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Roundhill AMZN WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZW#BATS">AMZW</a>), following Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), </li>
<li>Roundhill BRKB WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRKW#BATS">BRKW</a>), following Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), </li>
<li>Roundhill HOOD WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOW#BATS">HOOW</a>), following Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>)</li>
<li>Roundhill META WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/METW#BATS">METW</a>), following Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) </li>
<li>Roundhill NFLX WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLW#BATS">NFLW</a>), following Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)</li>
</ul>
These launches bring the WeeklyPay family to 10 ETFs. Each fund aims to capture 120% of the aggregate return of its underlying security each calendar week, as well as a regular distribution.
That&#8217;s a clear divergence from the way most single-stock income ETFs operate, usually through selling covered calls, which exchange upside potential for option premiums. And with more than $15 billion flowing into such a strategy, the company obviously believes there is room for disruption.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Different Kind Of Income ETF</h2>
Instead of depending on derivatives, Roundhill&#8217;s WeeklyPay ETFs employ leverage to enhance returns, aiming at 1.2x the performance of the underlying stock on a weekly basis. That multiplier, naturally, involves risk, particularly in downward environments, but it also avoids having investors forego gains in a bull market, as with covered call strategies.
The money also makes weekly payments, which might be enticing for income-oriented investors tired of the slow dribble of dividends.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Tech Giants To Meme Stocks</h2>
Roundhill&#8217;s current roster already boasts single-stock ETFs tied to such names as Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and Palantir (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>). But the company isn&#8217;t yet done.
It has applied for additional WeeklyPay ETFs tracking an eclectic roster: from blue chips such as Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), to semicon-weighty names such as AMD (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and ASML Holding (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>), to speculative darlings such as Reddit (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>), DraftKings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>), and MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>).
The message is plain: Roundhill is looking to track the entire gamut of investor demand—tech, momentum, income, and high-risk stocks—all under one umbrella.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Watch</h2>
While the structure has upside potential, it&#8217;s not without its cautionary tales. Leveraged exposure, even at a 1.2x rate, amplifies gains and losses as much as it amplifies the underlying. And while the absence of options sidesteps issues of premium decay and call-away risk, investors should still look at how distributions are made and what level of volatility to anticipate.

MicroStrategy: A Potential Bitcoin Proxy? Now You Can Trade Its Moves With Leveraged MSTR ETFs

市場アナリストであるアリ・マルティネス(Ali Martinez) 氏が、TDシーケンシャルの買いサインを理由にゲームストップ（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>）の株価反発について投稿している。
出来事：木曜日、マルティネス氏はゲームストップの株価の動きを公開した。株価のトレンド反転を予測するTDシーケンシャル指標がゲームストップの買いサインを示していることに着目している。株価はロビンフッドの夜間取引で1.37％上昇した。

2020年以来、ゲームストップはミーム株として主にレディットのようなプラットフォームで個人投資家に人気があり、株価の変動が大きい。2021年、レディットのr/WallStreetBetsコミュニティ内の個人投資家によるショート・スクイーズ（市場が空売りに傾いている時に大きく買い注文を仕掛ける）で、ゲームストップの株価が暴騰した。その結果、これに携わっていたヘッジファンドにとっては大きな打撃となった。基本的に買いが弱いとされるゲームストップの株についてのマルティネス氏の分析は、トレーダーたちが下落が続いた後の反発を期待していることを示している。
なぜ重要なのか：ゲームストップ株は最近、市場全体に対する懸念から圧力を受けている。米国における景気後退の不安、および関税や貿易政策に関する不確実性により週明けの株価は下落した。
先月上旬、トランプ大統領は、カナダ、メキシコ、中国からの輸入品に大幅な関税を課したが、これが不安定な市場を招いた。それでも、マルティネス氏の投稿では、株価反発の見込みを示しており、3月25日に控えている第4四半期決算発表を前に投資家に希望を与えている。
2月、ビットコインなどの暗号資産がゲームストップの貸借対照表に追加されたことで株価は急騰した。CEOのライアン・コーエン(Ryan Cohen)氏が、ストラテジー（NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>）のマイケル・セイラー氏と会ったことも、株価急騰に拍車をかけた。特に、マルティネス氏は以前の投稿で、投資家に対してビットコインの74,000ドル水準について注意を促し、「トレンドの変化の可能性」について示していた。
株価の推移：昨日の終値は、30日前の水準から19％下落した21.95ドル（<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Proのデータ</a>による）。
ゲームストップの株は、モメンタム（勢い）と成長においては スーパー・マイクロ・コンピューター（NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>）を上回る一方で、バリュー指標では低い。
