REX Bitcoin Corporate Treasury
Convertible Bond ETF
Convertible Bond ETF
BMAX Approach:
The game has changed. Corporate treasuries are evolving, and public companies are now using convertible bonds to stack Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Once reserved for Wall Street’s elite, these are now available to all via ETFs. BMAX strategically focuses on entities like Strategy (MSTR), a prominent issuer of Bitcoin treasury convertible bonds. This focus allows the fund to leverage the burgeoning market dynamics where digital asset strategies intersect with traditional finance.
How the Strategy Works:

Construct a Bitcoin-Treasury Convertible Bond Portfolio
BMAX invests at least 80% of its net assets in convertible bonds issued by “Bitcoin Corporate Treasury Companies.” These are firms that:
- Hold 15% or more of assets in Bitcoin or Bitcoin-linked instruments
- Derive 15% or more of income from Bitcoin-related activities
- Engage directly in Bitcoin mining
The fund focuses on U.S.-listed public companies, using publicly available data to assess eligibility. BMAX is actively managed and typically holds 10–15 bonds across 5–10 issuers. This may evolve as the opportunity set expands.
>

Focus on Bitcoin Exposure, Not Coupon Income
Most bonds in the portfolio offer zero or near-zero coupon rates. BMAX is not designed for income. Instead, it seeks indirect Bitcoin exposure through the equity optionality in convertible bonds, while preserving downside mitigation via the bond structure. The strategy avoids direct Bitcoin ownership and does not use derivatives or synthetic instruments.
>

Manage Conversions and Maturities
As bonds convert or mature, the advisor may:
- Hold or sell converted equity based on market conditions
- Reinvest proceeds into new qualifying bonds
- Rebalance in response to changes in the Bitcoin and credit markets
This flexible approach maintains targeted exposure to Bitcoin-linked corporate debt while aiming for total return.

BMAX Objective:
REX Bitcoin Corporate Treasury Convertible Bond ETF’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is to provide total return through investments in convertible bonds issued by companies that hold bitcoin in their corporate treasury.
Investing in BMAX is not equivalent to investing directly in Bitcoin.
BMAX Materials:
The fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses is 1.14%, which includes a management fee of 0.85% and estimated current and deferred income tax expenses of 0.29%. These expenses cover the costs associated with fund management and operations as detailed in the fund’s prospectus. Investors should review the prospectus for a complete understanding of all fees and expenses.
Median 30 Day Spread is a calculation of Fund's median bid-ask spread, expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth, computed by: identifying the Fund's national best bid and national best offer as of the end of each 10 second interval during each trading day of the last 30 calendar days; dividing the difference between each such bid and offer by the midpoint of the national best bid and national best offer; and identifying the median of those values.
BMAX Features:
Unlocking Convertible Bonds used to buy Bitcoin:
BMAX unlocks a market typically out of reach for retail investors, providing exposure to convertible bonds issued by companies to purchase Bitcoin for their treasury.
Indirect, Hedged Bitcoin Exposure:
BMAX provides exposure to Bitcoin-linked companies through convertible debt — not spot Bitcoin or derivatives. Most bonds in the portfolio offer zero or near-zero coupon rates, so the strategy is not driven by income, but by equity optionality tied to Bitcoin-sensitive issuers.
Broad, Simplified Exposure in One ETF:
BMAX consolidates multiple convertible bond issuances, making it easy to invest in companies leveraging this strategy—all within a single, actively managed fund.

FAQ
Convertible bonds are hybrid securities that offer interest payments and the potential for equity upside. The convertible bonds seek to offer interest yields during the bond's life, with an option to convert into stock if the issuing company's share price exceeds a set conversion threshold at maturity. This dual benefit structure makes convertible bonds a dynamic play offering slight exposure into Bitcoin while maintaining a foothold in traditional securities.
No, BMAX invests in convertible bonds from companies that use Bitcoin in their corporate treasuries, offering a structured way to participate in Bitcoin’s adoption.
BMAX gives you a different kind of Bitcoin exposure—one that’s built with downside mitigation in mind. Instead of holding Bitcoin directly like a spot Bitcoin ETF, BMAX invests in convertible bonds from companies that own Bitcoin, such as MicroStrategy. These bonds act like a blend between a traditional bond and a stock: they can provide stability when markets are choppy, but also offer upside if Bitcoin and those companies' stocks move higher.
Here’s how BMAX stands out:
-
- Downside cushion: The bond structure helps soften the blow during Bitcoin selloffs
- Upside potential: If the company’s stock rises due to Bitcoin, the bond can convert into shares and capture some of that growth
- No wallets or crypto exchanges: You get exposure through a regular ETF in your brokerage account
- Diversified approach: BMAX holds multiple bonds, not just one company or one Bitcoin bet
If you’re looking for a way to participate in Bitcoin’s long-term growth without taking on all the risk, we believe BMAX offers a smarter, more balanced path.

BMAX may be a good fit for investors who want to tap into Bitcoin’s long-term potential—but with a more balanced, risk-aware approach. It’s designed for people who:
- Want exposure to companies investing in Bitcoin, without holding crypto directly
- Prefer less day-to-day volatility than owning Bitcoin or mining stocks
- Like the structure of a regulated ETF that trades in a regular brokerage account
- Are looking for a way to diversify their portfolio with digital asset themes, but still want built-in protection
If you’re curious about Bitcoin but want a smarter, more strategic way to participate, BMAX could be a good starting point.
Companies issue convertible bonds to accumulate Bitcoin because it offers a low-cost, shareholder-friendly way to strengthen their balance sheets while avoiding the pitfalls of traditional financing. This strategy allows them to:
- Raise capital at little to no interest cost – Investors accept lower interest rates in exchange for the potential to convert bonds into stock.
- Avoid immediate equity dilution – Shares are only issued if stock prices rise, meaning existing shareholders aren’t diluted at undervalued levels.
- Use Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset – Unlike cash, Bitcoin is globally liquid, 24/7 tradeable, and historically a strong store of value.
Companies like Strategy (MSTR) have raised billions through this method, leveraging Bitcoin as a long-term treasury asset while preserving financial flexibility. BMAX allows investors to tap into this powerful strategy in a single, actively managed ETF.
Convertible bonds are typically issued in large institutional-sized offerings, making them difficult for individual investors to access. BMAX simplifies this process by offering diversified exposure to multiple issuances of these convertible bonds in a single ETF, eliminating the need to source and manage individual bond investments.
Yes, BMAX seeks to pay quarterly dividends from interest income and bond gains. However, they are expected to be minimal as most of the convertible bonds issued by the bond issuers currently pay zero or near zero interest rates.

Performance current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling 1-844-802-4004. Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the fund's future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns.
