REX Shares has introduced the Bitcoin Corporate Treasury Convertible Bond (BMAX) ETF, a first-of-its-kind product designed to provide investors with exposure to convertible bonds issued by companies utilizing debt to acquire Bitcoin.
Announced on March 14, the ETF targets firms integrating Bitcoin into their corporate treasuries, simplifying access to this emerging investment strategy.
Companies such as Strategy, under executive chairman Michael Saylor, have pioneered the approach of raising capital through convertible notes to purchase Bitcoin, amassing substantial BTC holdings. Other firms, including Metaplanet, have adopted similar methods. BMAX consolidates these bonds into a single, actively managed ETF, providing a structured avenue for investors to gain exposure to this market without needing to source individual securities.
By investing in BMAX, market participants can balance the security of corporate debt with potential equity upside linked to Bitcoin’s performance. This regulated investment vehicle eliminates the complexities of managing direct BTC ownership or acquiring individual corporate bonds, offering a streamlined alternative to traditional Bitcoin investments.
REX Financial CEO Greg King highlighted BMAX as the first ETF granting direct access to convertible bonds associated with corporate Bitcoin holdings. He noted that retail investors previously encountered challenges in accessing these bonds, but BMAX removes those obstacles, making it easier to participate in corporate debt-financed Bitcoin strategies.
The launch of BMAX expands the suite of Bitcoin-related financial products that do not require direct Bitcoin ownership. It follows a trend of ETFs focused on Bitcoin mining stocks and treasury-backed Bitcoin investments, reflecting the growing integration of Bitcoin within mainstream finance and the diversification of investment opportunities beyond spot Bitcoin ETFs.
