REX Shares has launched the REX Bitcoin Corporate Treasury Convertible Bond ETF. This will be a fund that invests in convertible bonds issued by companies that hold Bitcoin ( BTC ) in their corporate treasury, according to a company release. Convertible bonds are a type of debt that can be converted into company shares under certain conditions. Some companies use these bonds to raise money and buy Bitcoin for their balance sheets. The strategy gained attention after Michael Saylor, now Chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy ), used it to accumulate Bitcoin. BMAX simplifies access to this investment approach by packaging these bonds into an exchange-traded fund. ETFs allow investors to buy a basket of assets in one trade, similar to stocks. Instead of purchasing individual convertible bonds, investors can buy shares of BMAX to gain exposure to companies using this method. “BMAX is the first ETF giving retail investors and investment advisors access to convertible bonds issued by companies integrating Bitcoin into their financial strategy,” said Greg King, CEO of REX Financial. The fund focuses on companies like Strategy, which has issued multiple Bitcoin-backed convertible bonds. Investors in BMAX gain exposure to both the debt and potential equity upside of these companies while avoiding direct Bitcoin ownership. This provides an alternative way to engage with Bitcoin-linked investments without holding the asset itself. BMAX offers a regulated path to participate in this strategy, removing the complexities of sourcing individual bonds or managing Bitcoin transactions.

The latest U.S. inflation data came in lower than expected, but Bitcoin struggled to maintain gains as trade war concerns weighed on sentiment. According to the economic latest data released on Mar. 12, February’s Consumer Price Index rose 2.8%, below the 2.9% forecast. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, dropped to 3.1%, slightly better than the expected 3.2%. Markets responded by increasing bets on Federal Reserve rate cuts. Traders now price in a 31.4% chance of a cut in May, up from just 9% last month. The probability of three cuts by year-end jumped to 32.5%, while expectations for four cuts surged from 1% to 21%. Bitcoin ( BTC ) briefly surpassed $84,000 before falling back to $83,000, wiping off the majority of its post-CPI gains, despite the softer inflation data. Equities were unable to sustain early gains, and other financial markets also suffered. Analysts point to ongoing trade tensions as a key factor limiting risk appetite. Canada recently responded to U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs with $21 billion in tariffs on U.S. exports. The European Union then imposed additional tariffs on American goods valued at $28 billion. There is growing concern that rising trade disputes may raise inflationary pressures and complicate the Federal Reserve’s decision-making. According to The Kobeissi Letter, the U.S. faces a $9.2 trillion debt refinancing challenge in 2025. Without lower interest rates, borrowing costs could rise sharply, further straining the national debt, which now exceeds $36 trillion. Market uncertainty remains high, with investors closely watching developments in both monetary policy and global trade. On-chain data, meanwhile, indicates that cryptocurrency traders are losing confidence. Crypto-wide trading activity has been declining since its peak in late February, according to Santiment. Over the last two weeks, market capitalization losses have left traders hesitant, with signs of exhaustion and capitulation creeping in. Even Bitcoin’s CPI-driven bounce failed to spark any real uptick in trading activity. This type of volume decline typically indicates weak market momentum amid small price recoveries. Gains can swiftly wane in the absence of strong buying interest, leaving prices open to further declines. Retail and institutional traders appear to be in a holding pattern at the moment, waiting for the other to move. Until volume picks up meaningfully, caution is likely to dominate.

Newmarket Capital CEO Andrew Hohns suggests incorporating Bitcoin into government bonds as a way to reduce national debt and purchase Bitcoin for the U.S. strategic reserve. At the Bitcoin ( BTC ) Policy Institute’s Bitcoin for America on March 11, Hohns proposes the idea of “Bit Bonds,” a novel type of U.S. Treasury bond that incorporates Bitcoin into government financing. The idea is to use bond issuance to reduce government borrowing costs and build a strategic Bitcoin reserve , while offering American families a tax-free investment vehicle. Hohn suggested the U.S. government issue around $2 trillion Bit Bonds, with 90% of the funds allocated for government purchase and 10% of the proceeds would be used to buy Bitcoin. This means that for every $100, around $10 would go to BTC. “If it’s a $2 trillion issuance right off the bat, that would mean $200 billion worth of Bitcoin if purchased at $90,000 per BTC. That’s 2.22 million Bitcoin. Of course, the price will fluctuate and likely we’ll acquire a different amount than that,” said Hahn during his presentation. According to the Newmarket Capital CEO, the bonds would enable the United States federal government would be able to acquire $200 billion worth of Bitcoin while saving the government $554 billion in 10-year interest rates at the same time. This is because Bit Bonds offer a much lower rate of 1% per year compared to the 4.5% interest rate of U.S. Treasuries. Thus, it could significantly cut interest expenses. Moreover, he said Bit Bonds would become an attractive investment for foreign investors, because they can serve as eligible collateral for range of different swap and derivative arrangements. According to Hahn, investors stand a chance to receive a 4.5% compound annual growth rate on a senior basis, which aligns with the current Treasury yields. After earning this fixed return, investors receive a 50% share from the upside of the Bitcoin purchase, while the U.S. government receives the remaining 50%. Depending on Bitcoin’s performance, the total returns for investors can be quite attractive, ranging from nearly 7% to as high as 17% annually on a tax-free basis. “It produces a government entitlement of Bitcoin that is slightly greater than $50.8 trillion which is the expected size of the funded federal debt in the year 2045. In other words, with this plan, we’re in a position to defease the federal debt,” explained Hahn. In addition, he also suggested Bit Bonds become available for American citizens as it is a ” powerful tool to defend against inflation.” As a savings instrument, Hahn said the bonds should be free of income tax and capital gains tax for the American people. He claimed a family could invest $2,900 and receive a yield of 7% to 17% over a 10-year period, depending on Bitcoin’s performance throughout the years.
