Nasdaq Seeks SEC Approval to List BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF

The proposal targets yield by pairing spot exposure with covered-call writing during the SEC’s formal review.

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.
