YBTC Still Has A Mammoth Yield Of 55%, But Risks Remain
Roundhill Bitcoin Covered Call Strategy ETF offers a high yield of nearly 55% with weekly distributions, but underperforms Bitcoin due to its capped upside and complex options strategy. The fund's distributions are primarily return-of-capital, making it tax-efficient but volatile, with income dependent on Bitcoin's volatility. Compared to MAXI, YBTC's capped upside limits its potential, making it less attractive despite its higher yield and frequent payouts.

Roundhill's Bitcoin Covered Call Strategy ETF (YBTC) offers weekly distributions, no NAV erosion this past year, and a 45% yield, making it attractive for income-focused investors. YBTC employs a synthetic Bitcoin covered call strategy that currently sells options on IBIT.

YBTC: Decent Bitcoin Income But With Risks
YBTC's 43% yield has made for good income but is very much a risk premium. The fund uses a synthetic covered call strategy on BTC ETFs, leading to consistent income but limited upside compared to holding BTC directly. YBTC is vulnerable to BTC's speculative nature and market volatility, with risks amplified by potential breakthroughs in mining technology and quantum computing.
