\n

Crypto exchange-traded product (ETP) provider 21Shares has launched an investment product giving European investors access to a preferred stock issued by Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy, the world\u2019s largest public holder of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

The asset manager will list its 21Shares Strategy Yield ETP under the ticker \u201cSTRC NA\u201d on Euronext Amsterdam on Thursday, the company said<\/a> Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The ETP is available to institutional and retail investors, offering a dividend backed by Strategy\u2019s Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) treasury, which currently holds 717,722 BTC<\/a>, valued at around $47 billion. With dividends set at a variable 11.25% annualized rate, the ETP represents one of the earliest structured, BTC-backed corporate securities available to European investors.<\/p>\n

How the STRC ETP Works<\/h2>\n

The 21Shares Strategy Yield ETP with exposure to Strategy\u2019s preferred stock STRC, officially known as Variable Rate Series A Perpetual \u201cStretch\u201d Preferred Stock, is designed to act as a \u201ccash-flow bridge\u201d between traditional finance and Strategy\u2019s Bitcoin treasury.<\/p>\n

21Shares said the ETP structure is intended to make the instrument easier to access for European investors through standard brokerage accounts, rather than requiring investors to buy the preferred shares directly.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy combining high income potential with a familiar exchange traded structure, STRC offers both institutional and retail investors an efficient and accessible way to add yield to their portfolios,\u201d 21shares president Duncan Moir said.<\/p>\n

21Shares enters equity-linked ETPs<\/h2>\n

The company positioned the launch as its first equity-linked product, expanding beyond its traditional lineup of crypto-only ETPs, Moir noted.<\/p>\n

He added that the move reflects the company\u2019s broader mission to provide accessible exposure to digital assets.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince our inception, we have focused on providing straightforward access to digital assets,\u201d Moir said. \u201cWith this product, we are extending that expertise into equity-linked exposure tied to the Bitcoin ecosystem,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Operating since 2018, 21Shares is one of the largest crypto ETP providers globally, managing<\/a> about $5.3 billion across 60 ETPs on 13 exchanges as of Monday.<\/p>\n

The company has continued its global expansion, launching<\/a> a new exchange-traded fund in the US on Tuesday: the 21Shares Spot SUI ETF (TSUI), which has started trading on the Nasdaq.<\/p>\n

This follows a series of ETP launches by 21Shares<\/a>, as asset managers continue to broaden the menu of regulated products tied to crypto markets for both institutional and retail investors.<\/p>\n
