MSTY: Stop Selling Off Your Upside For Cents On The Dollar
MSTY, the Yieldmax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF, is an inefficient fund that we expect will decay over time, making it unsuitable for those seeking income or price appreciation. While MSTY sports a high yield, the leveraged Bitcoin exposure provided by MSTR seems uniquely unsuited to a call-selling strategy. This could lead to massive opportunity costs for investors over the long term.

MSTY: This Fund Has A Poor Risk-Reward Profile
Creativity in investing is essential, but overcomplicating strategies can be problematic. Covered-call ETFs are increasingly popular among dividend investors seeking alternatives in low-rate environments. Synthetic call spreads offer 100% exposure to underlying equities using less capital, with treasuries as collateral.

MSTY Is A Buy Due To Peak Yield And Implied Volatility
I recommend a buy rating for YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF due to its current 160%+ dividend yield and high implied volatility of MSTR stock. Both readings are near peak levels since the fund's inception, adding up to a very skewed reward/risk curve. Looking ahead, I see Bitcoin price to display large volatility due to a mix of ongoing catalysts.

High Yields Will Never Be The Same - Here's Why
High-yield investments like BDCs, MLPs, CEFs, and REITs offer substantial dividend yields, often overlooked by retail investors due to a lack of awareness. Option ETFs generate high income by writing options against equities, with some offering extreme yields, like Yieldmax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF at 113%. These funds are for income generation, not total return or capital appreciation, and require a different evaluation lens than traditional investments.

MSTY Vs. MSTY:CA: This Is Not A YieldMax Canadian Replica
MSTY's ~130% distribution yield has helped the fund generate over $2.28B in AUM and inspired multiple fund companies to launch their own funds such as Harvest's MSTY:CA. Canadian investors need to beware that MSTY:CA and MSTY have fundamentally different strategies that'll lead to different results. MSTY uses a synthetic covered call strategy selling MSTR calls and credit spreads covering 100% of its portfolio.

MSTY: Harvesting Potential Triple-Digit Yields From Leveraged Bitcoin
MSTY ETF offers income investors triple-digit yields by selling out-of-the-money call options on MSTR, a leveraged Bitcoin proxy. Despite high returns, MSTY should be a small part of a diversified portfolio due to risks like MSTR's solvency and Bitcoin's future. MSTY's active management helps maintain NAV, but investors should be cautious of rapid market corrections and fund management costs.

MSTY: 100% Dividend Yield Could Be Sustained Moving Forward
I believe MSTY's 100% dividend yield is sustainable due to BTC's high volatility, as the ETF can generate substantial option premiums from MSTR's price swings. By monetizing MSTR's volatility to generate income, MSTY is appealing for income-oriented or more prudent investors seeking Bitcoin exposure. MSTY can outperform MSTR in range-bound markets, moderate bullish movements, and even declining BTC markets by offsetting losses with premium income.

MSTY: A 102% Distribution Rate That Doesn't Look Bad
Yieldmax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF offers a staggering 101.75% distribution rate by selling short-dated, slightly out-of-the-money calls on volatile MicroStrategy stock. The ETF's high distribution rate is driven by expensive call options on MicroStrategy, but it requires active management, and it is very unlikely to be sustained over time. Despite skepticism about covered call strategies, the ETF's current environment and MicroStrategy's bullish activity on Bitcoin make it an interesting buy.
