BlackRock files for Bitcoin premium income ETF via Delaware
Key Takeaways
- BlackRock filed for a Bitcoin premium income ETF in Delaware, expanding its suite of crypto investment products.
- The new ETF aims to generate income via Bitcoin-related premiums, targeting yield-focused investors rather than pure price exposure.
BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, filed today for a Bitcoin premium income ETF in Delaware. The proposed fund represents a new investment product designed to generate income through Bitcoin-related premiums.
The filing extends BlackRock’s crypto expansion beyond its spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT), which reached $90 billion in assets under management by September 2025. The firm captured 60% of the US Bitcoin ETF market share with IBIT.
BlackRock’s Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs generated $260 million in annual revenue less than two years after launch. The asset manager has been adding Bitcoin exposure to its in-house funds, with model portfolios allocating 1%-2% to crypto assets.
The premium income structure targets income-focused investors seeking Bitcoin exposure with yield generation, differentiating it from BlackRock’s existing spot Bitcoin product that tracks the cryptocurrency’s price movements directly.

The ratio of job vacancies to unemployed persons dropped to 1.0. Analysts have noted that net hires implied by the JOLTS report have been lower than the nonfarm payroll report for three consecutive months, indicating a significant downside risk for this Friday’s nonfarm payroll data.
