REX Debuts Bitcoin Corporate Treasury Convertible Bond ETF

REX Shares has launched BMAX, a groundbreaking ETF that provides investors with access to convertible bonds issued by companies leveraging debt to buy Bitcoin—with MicroStrategy (MSTR) as its largest holding.

The REX Bitcoin Corporate Treasury Convertible Bond ETF (BMAX) is designed to track convertible bonds from firms that have strategically added Bitcoin to their balance sheets.

As the biggest issuer of such debt, MicroStrategy dominates BMAX’s portfolio, alongside convertible notes from Bitcoin mining companies like Marathon Digital (MARA) and Riot Platforms (RIOT).
