BlackRock Files S‑1 for iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF

BlackRock has filed to launch an actively managed Bitcoin ETF designed to generate regular income by selling call options, expanding its lineup of crypto exchange‑traded products.

16h agoJan 27, 2026, 5:35 AMNewsroom AI

BlackRock submitted a Form S‑1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to list the iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, an actively managed fund that would provide spot Bitcoin exposure while seeking to generate income for investors [2][4].

According to filings and reporting, the fund would hold a mix of spot Bitcoin, cash and shares of BlackRock’s existing iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and pursue a covered‑call strategy — selling call options tied primarily to IBIT — to produce a monthly premium income stream [5][3][6].

Observers note the filing deepens BlackRock’s push into crypto ETFs and could introduce another systematic source of options flow into Bitcoin‑linked derivatives markets, though key commercial details remain unspecified in the S‑1 [1][6][3].

The S‑1 marks another step by BlackRock into yield‑focused crypto products as it seeks SEC approval and further clarifies the operational details of the proposed ETF [2][1].
