The fund may also write options on exchange-traded product indexes from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>The latest amendment disclosed a sponsor fee of 0.65%. The ETF is expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker BITA, according to earlier filings.<\/p>\n<p>The structure places BITA in the growing category of covered call funds, products that trade some upside potential for regular income. In practice, the fund would collect option premiums by selling calls linked to <span>bitcoin<\/span> exposure. If <span>bitcoin<\/span> rises sharply, the strategy may limit some gains. If markets trade sideways or remain <span>volatile<\/span>, the option income could become more attractive.<\/p>\n<h3>Covered Call Race Heats Up<\/h3>\n<p>Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas said the newest amendment may be the final one before launch. He said the 65-basis-point fee is higher than Blackrock\u2019s spot <span>bitcoin ETF<\/span> but lower than the two largest covered call ETFs, which charge 0.95% and 0.99%.<\/p>\n<p>Balchunas said he expects the product to launch \u201cvery soon,\u201d noting that Blackrock may be looking to reach the market before Goldman Sachs, whose competing product is expected to become effective around July 1.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_821999\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-821999\" style=\"width:1180px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/blackrock-targets-bitcoin-yield-with-0-65-fee-covered-call-etf_nwmk.png?X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIARQKIT2TMGZBKV2L6%2F20260611%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260611T105329Z&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Expires=600&amp;X-Amz-Signature=5552ddc9c72ae94c5d49b5d2725116047e75138d0f4f0822c6318443ab8303e7\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-821999\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The key question for investors will be yield.
