In React, is there any benefit or even difference in having a static property on a class vs having it as a constant within the file?

Question

I'm wondering if there is any benefit (maintainability, rendering, performance etc.) to having a constant declared as a static class property vs just being a constant within the file.

Is there any difference or is this just personal preference?

The code is just to show a simple example, I understand in this instance you would just have the string in the render and probably use a stateless component instead of a class.

class MyClass extends React.Component {
   static myText = "This is an example";
   render() {
     return <p>{MyClass.myText}</p>
   } 
}

vs

const myText = "This is an example";
class MyClass extends React.Component {
   render() {
     return <p>{myText}</p>
   } 
}
