BlackRock Files Bitcoin Income ETF as Institutions Shift Strategy

The post BlackRock Files Bitcoin Income ETF as Institutions Shift Strategy appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The global asset manager BlackRock, which oversees nearly $14 trillion, has filed for a new iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, aiming to combine Bitcoin exposure with steady returns.

BlackRock is once again expanding its Bitcoin strategy, this time with a product aimed at income-focused investors.

How the Bitcoin Premium Income ETF Works

According to the newly filed S-1 document, the ETF will hold Bitcoin directly, shares of BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT, and cash. What makes this product different is its income strategy. 

Instead of relying only on Bitcoin’s price movement, the fund plans to sell covered call options, mainly on IBIT shares. This approach is designed to generate option premiums that could be paid out as monthly income.

This strategy targets investors who want Bitcoin exposure but are also looking for steady returns during periods of high volatility.
