  5. MSTE: I'd like some information on the ETF MSTE . [Harvest MicroStrategy Enhanced High Income Shares ETF]

Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I'd like some information on the ETF MSTE ....... Looking on the Harvest website they offer the following explanation of what the ETF is .......

" The Harvest MicroStrategy Enhanced High Income Shares ETF invests all its assets, directly or indirectly, in Class A shares of MicroStrategy. MicroStrategy provides business intelligence, mobile software, and cloud-based services. The company’s securities have developed into a Bitcoin treasury holding company, due to its substantial holdings in the world’s premier digital currency."

I take it from the last sentence that it has evolved into a " proxy for Bitcoin " . Is that correct ? And from it's historical high to it's current trading level it has fallen 9.9% . Is that correct ? And looking at it's history of dividend payments { it has paid four dividends . Two of .66 and two of .60 } I come up with a 40% dividend { based on the lessor of the two dividend rates } ..... Is that correct ?

Personally I am from the Jamie Dimon school of crypto-currency ..... The stuff has no value whatever. But I can't deny the steady growth since someone came up with the idea of " Let's make a currency for criminals the government hasn't regulated " ......

So what am I buying here ? A less volatile method of investing in Bitcoin with a honking big dividend ? Or if one is so interested, is Bitcoin itself the better choice ? .....

Thanks for your terrific service ......
