JUST IN: BlackRock files for a new iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF as of January 2026.

The fund would offer Bitcoin exposure while generating yield by actively selling call options on the $70B+ iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT).

The strategy aims to monetize Bitcoin’s volatility, providing consistent income while potentially reducing downside compared to holding $BTC directly.

It signals the next phase of #Bitcoin ETFs, moving beyond pure price exposure toward structured, income focused products following IBIT’s historic success.
