MicroStrategy ETF 3x Leverage ETF Go Live In London, MSTR To Rally?

As a seasoned researcher with a keen eye for financial trends and a soft spot for innovative Exchange Traded Products (ETPs), I find the recent move by Leverage Shares to launch MicroStrategy ETF 3X Leverage ETPs particularly intriguing. Having closely followed the rise of MicroStrategy Inc., I can’t help but marvel at their bold decision to adopt Bitcoin as a treasury reserve strategy.


Leveraging Shares, an innovative provider of Exchange Traded Products (ETPs), plans to broaden its range by introducing a new offering – the MicroStrategy 3X Leverage ETF for both long and short versions.

Leverage Shares Takes a Leap With MSTR

On Thursdays session at the London Stock Exchange (LSE), two new products debuted, specifically tailored to mirror the performance of MSTR, a rapidly expanding share of the business intelligence and software firm, MicroStrategy. It’s important to mention that these are the first-ever exchange-traded products with physical backing, offering 3x leverage, connected to the MicroStrategy stock.

Additionally, there are other MicroStrategy ETF options available, such as one with a 1.5x leverage ratio effective since August, and another called MSTX providing a 1.75x multiplier.

Without a doubt, Leverage Shares is employing the launch as a means to strengthen its status as a prominent issuer of Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) in both Europe and the United Kingdom. To date, they have accumulated a total of 162 ETPs. Oktay Kavrak, Director of Strategy and Communications at Leverage Shares, emphasized this move.

As MicroStrategy serves as an unofficial representative for Bitcoin investment, our Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) allow traders to effectively capitalize on their cryptocurrency views.

On a different note, Eric Balchunas, Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg, is skeptical that these products will receive the same level of appreciation in the UK and EU as they have in the U.S. This view appears to be validated by the strong backing Americans have shown for Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) over time, including the recently launched spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.

MicroStrategy Inc’s Attractiveness With its Bitcoin Pivot

Beyond simply wanting to broaden its services, Leverage Shares’ move to launch this product demonstrates their faith in a Bitcoin-focused offering supported by MicroStrategy. Recently, MicroStrategy has been drawing considerable interest since it chose to use Bitcoin as its financial reserve strategy. In the past four years, under the leadership of Michael Saylor, the company has been consistently buying Bitcoin.

At present, the company now owns a grand total of 252,220 Bitcoins following its latest acquisition of 7,420 Bitcoin. This significant addition was made using funds raised from a private issuance of $1.01 billion in Convertible Senior Notes. The value of MSTR stock has seen substantial growth due to these recurrent Bitcoin purchases.

Mastercard (MSTR) has significantly outshone every company within the S&P 500 index, with a remarkable increase of 1,000%. This impressive performance surpasses that of Bitcoin (BTC), which experienced a surge of 425%, as well as the S&P 500 itself, which saw an uptick of 70%. The recent introduction of Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) could potentially yield extra profits for MSTR stock, currently trading at $166.76 and rising by 9%.
