YBIT: Still A Buy As Bitcoin Policy Tailwinds Strengthen
YieldMax Bitcoin Option Income Strategy ETF remains a Buy, balancing drawdown mitigation and income potential amid recent executional underperformance. YBIT's brief underperformance in May 2025 was an executional glitch, not a structural flaw, and performance has since tracked peers like YBTC and BTCI. YBIT's defensive profile is intact, offering better drawdown management than most peers, though it relies on a bullish long-term bitcoin outlook.
YBIT Seems The Least Appealing Bitcoin Option Strategy
YBIT offers a high monthly yield through a dynamic options approach, but its complexity could make it less suitable for some portfolios. Its dynamic structure and higher yield (over 40%) make it intriguing but prone to NAV erosion. This is why it's better to treat it as a tactical tool for spot trades. It has high costs but is still fairly liquid despite its low AUM.
YBIT: ~46% Distribution Yield, But Peer Looks Better
YBIT offers high income via call writing on Bitcoin exposure, but the usual caveat exists with capped upside potential if Bitcoin rallies strongly. We covered BTCI recently, and we made several comparisons between the two, where BTCI looks like the stronger fund. YBIT's monthly distributions are attractive for income-focused investors, but they can be quite volatile, similar to the underlying asset.

Overview
This actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) is designed to meet its investment objective through a dual-strategy approach, incorporating both Bond and Futures Yield strategies. By allocating at least 80% of its net assets, in addition to any borrowings for investment purposes, towards these two strategies, the fund aims to provide a balanced financial solution to its investors. It is worth noting that this ETF is classified as non-diversified, focusing its investments more narrowly than diversified funds.
Products and Services
- Bond Strategy
The fund allocates a portion of its assets into bonds. This strategy is built around investment in debt securities, which can include a broad range of bond types. The aim is to generate income for the fund through interest earned on these bonds, contributing to the overall return for investors. Bonds are considered a less volatile investment compared to stocks, providing a stabilizing effect on the fund's performance.
- Futures Yield Strategy
Another core component of the fund's investment approach involves the Futures Yield strategy. This strategy includes investing in futures contracts, which are legal agreements to buy or sell a particular commodity or financial instrument at a predetermined price at a specified time in the future. The goal of this strategy is to leverage the futures market to gain returns that complement the income generated from the Bond strategy, thus enhancing the fund's overall yield. By using futures contracts, the fund aims to take advantage of price movements in the markets it targets, potentially offering higher returns to its investors.
