BlackRock Science and Technology Term Trust (BSTZ) has surged nearly 58% over the past year, driven by a mix of covered call income on public stocks and private AI investments like Databricks. However, the fund's yield sustainability is uncertain due to its reliance on volatile option premiums and a significant 30% allocation to private, illiquid tech companies that do not generate income. The fund cut its monthly distribution by about 27% from its peak in 2025, and part of the payout may include a return of capital rather than earnings. With shares trading at a 9% discount to NAV and activist investor interest, the fund’s 2031 liquidation date offers a potential NAV recovery point, but risks remain around private valuations and income stability.
