ETH Strategy is an Ethereum-based treasury protocol that accumulates ETH by issuing zero-interest convertible bonds. Its core mechanism decomposes bonds into CDT (Convertible Debt Token, representing ~$1 of debt) and an NFT option (representing conversion rights), which can be traded separately and combined to convert into STRAT or esETH. STRAT is the protocol's equity token; holders can stake it to earn esETH rewards and can also borrow esETH from the treasury by collateralizing STRAT and CDT, paying fixed interest. esETH is a non-rebasing token wrapping multiple LSDs, serving as the treasury's unified unit of account.

About STRAT
ETH Strategy (ethstrat.xyz) is an on-chain treasury protocol that accumulates ETH for STRAT token holders. It issues zero-interest convertible notes to bonders, who pay ETH and receive CDT debt tokens plus option NFTs. The protocol uses the implied option premium as revenue to grow its treasury, giving STRAT holders leveraged ETH exposure. Core mechanics include esETH as a unified treasury unit, staking for ETH yield, and treasury lending (STRAT+CDT collateral, fixed rate/term, no liquidation during the loan). The main narrative is "on-chain MSTR" — ETH per STRAT (EPS) growth. Market pain points: DeFi lending has variable rates and price-triggered liquidations; ETH holders lack a non-dilutive way to gain leveraged exposure; crypto options markets lack natural option sellers. The protocol addresses these via fixed-term no-liquidation loans and the ESPN vault (ERC-4626) selling covered calls on Derive. Development 2026-03-13 to 2026-09-13: ESPN vault launched with Derive partnership, reporting gross returns 8.5–24.3% (net 6–22%); treasury lending moved to roadmap for Q2 2026 but not yet deployed; on-chain staking still upcoming; permissionless bonding pending. Negative: prolonged ETH decline can make CDT redemption pro-rata; LST slashing/depeg risks; treasury lending collateral is burned (not escrowed), which may surprise users; no liquidation during loan term means full liquidation after expiry if forgotten.
Completed a $46.5 million financing, with 96% of the funds allocated for Ethereum staking and providing protocol liquidity, laying the foundation for treasury accumulation.
Launched a two-month linear unlock of STRAT and announced the upcoming treasury lending product, allowing STRAT holders to borrow ETH at a discount to NAV, refining the tokenomics.
Currently holds 11,778 ETH (approximately $34.4 million), showing continued treasury growth, while launching the ESPN product as the first revenue source.
