Our read on XBTY
In short
DMost bitcoin income funds write calls. XBTY works the other side: selling short-dated put spreads on a 2x long bitcoin ETF, harvesting premium from leveraged volatility while cash sits in Treasury bills. Gains are capped by design.
Stated mandate
The Fund seeks income primarily by selling put options on leveraged ETFs tracking a 2x Long Bitcoin Daily ETF. It also seeks capped exposure to that leveraged ETF's performance.
