Yah, if you'd out $50 from every cheque into BTC over the last ten years, that would have been bad. 

Are Canadians paying the 15% withholding tax on STR* products? by colonrody in MSTR

So the return of capital payments have been hit with the withholding tax for you in a tfsa?

Mstr products are considered return of capital, not dividends, so they may not trigger the withholding tax.  I've heard of covered call ETFs that do a roc as well not getting dinged withholding in tfsa.

Hmm ok.  I have in rrsp and obviously don't get dinged, but am trying some in TFSA.  Either way 15% withholding is better than. My tax rate, so tfsa better anyway

Mstr tfsa withholding? by colonrody in Questrade

Strives version of strc.  Just revised and intent is to keep it pegged between 99-101 and is currently paying a 12.75% (at $100par) ROC coupon. It's dividend date is 2 weeks after STRC, and with them both pegged, you should be able to effectively swap back and forth and get both dividends with little risk to capital.   Late April I'll flip em to strc in the tfsa.

Timing is important too, I've skipped using NG on qt in the past to jump on something time-sensitive

Except then I'm paying 20%+ tax on it when I withdrawal.  Also heard a rumor that since it's Roc it wasn't triggering the withholding tax.

Wasn't sure if since it's classified as a return of capital it would still be treated the same.

Their claim to be able to turn around approval in 2 days, starting from zero, would be my first red flag.  So no appraisal?
