BITX: 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF, Lagging Upside Returns Could Spell Disaster On Downside
Volatility Shares 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF has underperformed bullish expectations, with a -12.3% total return loss over the last 12 months vs. Bitcoin's +25.6% gain. The ETF's poor performance is primarily due to expensive futures contracts and high holding costs, creating significant value decay on top of compounding issues. For long-term Bitcoin investment, direct ownership is recommended over BITX. Keep it simple, with negligible holding and trading expenses.

A Less Risky Strategy That Profits From Volatility In Bitcoin
Leveraged ETFs suffer from volatility drag, causing them to underperform their benchmarks, which can be exploited by shorting leveraged ETFs while buying the underlying asset. Backtesting since July 2023 shows a strategy of 67% BTC and 33% short BITX yielding a 34.03% annualized return with lower drawdowns. Adjusting the allocation to 75% BTC and 25% short BITX increases annualized returns to 45.73%, but with tail risk.

BITX: Not The Best Way To Gain Bitcoin Exposure
The 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF suffers from significant contango and volatility decay, making it less effective for long-term Bitcoin exposure compared to simpler, low-cost Bitcoin ETFs like IBIT. BITX charges a high 1.85% expense ratio and has underperformed its promise, delivering only 1.5x Bitcoin's return due to decay issues. President Trump's potential 'Bitcoin Reserve' policy could boost Bitcoin prices, but simpler ETFs like IBIT are better for bullish investors without leverage risks.
