Grayscale announces the launch of Bitcoin-backed call options ETF and Bitcoin premium yield ETF
ChainCatcher news, according to GlobeNewswire, officially announced that Grayscale Investments has launched the Grayscale Bitcoin Covered Call ETF (Ticker: BTCC) and the Grayscale Bitcoin Premium Yield ETF (Ticker: BPI).
It is reported that these two funds are among the first exchange-traded funds (ETFs) under Grayscale to adopt a covered call strategy, aiming to create differentiated sources of returns for investors through the volatility characteristics of Bitcoin.
BTCC primarily seeks stable returns while participating in price fluctuations through Bitcoin-related options. The fund earns premiums by selling call options close to the current price and distributes dividends to investors monthly. This strategy is suitable for investors looking for stable cash flow while profiting from Bitcoin's volatility. The premium income can also provide a certain buffer during market downturns.
BPI aims to generate income while retaining upside potential in Bitcoin by selling deep out-of-the-money call options. Investors can receive part of the option income while benefiting from potential price increases in Bitcoin. Both funds employ an active options strategy and distribute dividends monthly.
