YBTC is an offering in the Bitcoin space that seeks to generate a weekly distribution for its investors. It generates this weekly distribution through writing options on ETFs and indexes that have exposure to BTC. The fund provides a massive distribution yield, but its relatively lower-yielding peer wins again on the total return front thanks to a more flexible strategy.

YBTC Might Be The Best Bitcoin Covered Call Fund
YBTC outperforms peers, capturing 80% of Bitcoin's upside and delivering a 40% yield, while maintaining stable NAV through disciplined distributions. Active management and flexible covered call strategies—mixing weekly and monthly options—enable the Fund to adapt to Bitcoin's volatility and maximize returns. Roundhill Bitcoin Covered Call Strategy ETF's performance is still closely tied to Bitcoin's direction; it softens losses in downturns but will decline if Bitcoin enters a bear market.

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.

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.
