Overview

• Nasdaq filed on September 30 to list the iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, according to SEC filing No. 34-104148.
• The SEC has acknowledged the submission and will invite public comments before issuing a decision.
• The fund would retain Bitcoin exposure via spot holdings, IBIT shares, and cash while selling call options on those assets or on related indices to generate income.
• BlackRock recently registered the vehicle in Delaware and adjusted filings for IBIT and ETHA to prepare for income-focused crypto ETFs.
• Market watchers say the yield-oriented design could attract income-seeking investors and expand institutional use, though approval and timing remain uncertain.
