$MSTY: Yield Machine or Ticking Time Bomb?

Check out this MSTY investment simulator i built https://msty-simulator.com

Can you really generate enough income to live off Bitcoin volatility *without* selling down your stack?
In this video, I dive deep into $MSTY — the MicroStrategy option-income ETF that promises jaw-dropping yields of 60%, 80%, even 100%. But is it sustainable, or a slow-motion NAV collapse hiding behind big dividends?

I break down how $MSTY actually works, simulate long-term outcomes, and explore the key assumptions that need to hold for this strategy to succeed. If you’re curious about generating income on your Bitcoin stack, or wondering if this is just another yield trap, this video lays it all out.

NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. If you’re considering MSTY, I encourage you to also watch this video because this guy knows way more than me: https://youtu.be/FS_YXfIV22g?si=aqMRyAyzx-VTldPj
