BlackRock filed a Form 8-A for its iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF (BITA). The firm targets a launch date as early as June 18.
The fund generates income by selling covered call options on iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) shares. This strategy provides a different risk and return profile than direct spot ETF holdings.
IBIT recorded over $57 million in inflows on June 12, 2026. These inflows ended a prolonged period of significant outflows in the spot Bitcoin ETF market. IBIT still reported a net outflow for the week ending June 13.
