BlackRock files Bitcoin Premium Income ETF on Nasdaq

BlackRock has filed a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its Bitcoin Premium Income ETF.

The filing comes as crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) record their biggest weekly outflows since November 2025. The ETF is expected to be listed on Nasdaq. It will primarily hold Bitcoin (BTC), shares of iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), and cash. The fund aims to track the price of Bitcoin while generating additional income.

BlackRock plans to generate this revenue using an options strategy, primarily by writing call options on IBIT stock. Sometimes it may also use options linked to other Bitcoin ETPs. The fund will allow in-kind creation and redemption, meaning assets can be traded directly instead of using cash.

Crypto ETP outflows peaked in November

Coinbase will act as the fund’s Bitcoin custodian, while Bank of New York Mellon will hold the cash. However, the filing did not reveal key details such as the ticker symbol or management fees. The move follows Nasdaq’s earlier filing to list the ETF. By December, the SEC had already begun reviewing the application to decide whether to approve it.

The filing comes as crypto investment products face heavy selling pressure. According to CoinShares, crypto ETPs saw weekly outflows of $1.73 billion, the largest since mid-November 2025. U.S. products made up the bulk of the losses.

Bitcoin ETPs lost $1.09 billion, while Ethereum ETPs saw outflows of $630 million. CoinShares said the selling was driven by lower expectations for lower U.S. interest rates and lower crypto prices.

Despite capital outflows, BlackRock remains the largest issuer of crypto ETFs. Its Bitcoin ETFs hold nearly $70 billion in assets and its Ethereum ETFs manage more than $10 billion. Overall, BlackRock’s crypto funds are still up $847 million for the year.
