BlackRock Launches Bitcoin Income ETF That Sells Call Options for Monthly Yield

BlackRock launched the iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF (BITA), which uses a covered-call strategy on its IBIT holdings to target 15-25% annual yield. The product turns Bitcoin's volatility into income for investors.

BITA trades on a covered-call strategy, selling options on 25-35% of its Bitcoin portfolio to generate monthly income for holders.
BlackRock targets 15-25% annual yield from the strategy, with actual returns depending on Bitcoin's volatility.
The trade-off: upside is capped. In a 100% Bitcoin rally, BITA would return roughly 85% vs a straight long position.
BlackRock's Jay Jacobs says the product aims to attract traditional investors who have avoided Bitcoin due to its price swings.
BITA is built on top of BlackRock's existing spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT), which holds over $10 trillion in AUM across the firm.
