- Roundhill MSTR WeeklyPay ETF (MSTW) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide weekly distributions to shareholders as its primary objective and, secondarily, calendar week returns before fees and expenses equal to 1.2 times (120%) the total return of MicroStrategy Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR) common shares. The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings in listed call options including FLEX Options, total return swap agreements, and MSTR shares that reference MSTR; it also holds short-term U.S. Treasury securities, Treasury ETFs, and money market funds for collateralization and employs reverse repurchase agreements for exposure management. MSTW, with a net expense ratio of 0.99%, resets its leverage exposure weekly at the close of the last NYSE trading day and generates distributions using a formula incorporating MSTR's recent total return and implied volatility, often characterized as return of capital.
Launched on July 24, 2025, and listed on Cboe BZX Exchange, MSTW forms part of Roundhill Investments' expanding WeeklyPay ETF suite, which grew from five funds in June 2025 to nineteen by October 2025 through launches including ARMW, BABW, COSW, and UBEW targeting stocks such as ARM, BABA, COST, and UBER. The suite surpassed $1 billion in assets under management in October 2025, reflecting rapid adoption amid Roundhill Investments' overall AUM exceeding $8 billion by September 2025. MSTW concentrates in information technology via MSTR exposure, classified as non-diversified, and targets investors comfortable with leveraged single-stock volatility tied to MSTR's bitcoin holdings and enterprise analytics software.
Roundhill Investments, founded in 2018 and headquartered at 154 West 14th Street in New York, New York, serves as the SEC-registered investment adviser sponsoring MSTW as a series of Roundhill ETF Trust. The firm focuses on thematic, leveraged, and income-oriented ETFs for U.S. investors, with MSTW providing amplified weekly performance and income from its information technology equity portfolio without direct MSTR ownership rights. No subsidiaries, parent entities, or recent acquisitions/partnerships specific to MSTW are reported, though the WeeklyPay suite's diversification supports broader strategic growth.
