BLACKROCK’S BITCOIN INCOME ETF SET TO BEGIN TRADING JUNE 19
The SEC has declared the iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF ($BITA) effective.
The fund will hold spot Bitcoin exposure through IBIT and generate monthly income by selling covered call options on up to 35% of its portfolio.
The strategy targets yield in the 8-12% range during volatile markets, but investors give up some upside during major Bitcoin rallies.
The move could make Bitcoin more attractive to pensions, income-focused investors, and institutions seeking cash flow rather than pure price appreciation.
Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs is reportedly preparing a competing Bitcoin income ETF expected to launch July 1.
