BlackRock Files S-1 for iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF on 23 January 2026
On 23 January 2026, BlackRock submitted an S-1 registration for the iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, seeking to combine Bitcoin price exposure with an options-based income strategy. The fund plans to track Bitcoin while generating premium income by actively selling call options, primarily on shares of its existing iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and, when appropriate, on exchange-traded product indices. Key details such as the ETF ticker and management fee have not yet been disclosed, and the product remains subject to regulatory review.
