BlackRock has filed for the iShares Bitcoin Managed Protection ETF (ticker PBIT), which aims to offer partial protection against losses while capping gains. The fund will use options linked to BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF or similar Bitcoin exposure, but will not hold Bitcoin directly. It plans to hold overlapping option batches with a roughly 10% initial loss threshold before fees, though this is not a guaranteed loss limit for investors. The fund will also hold cash and short-term debt, with a 75-day registration period starting from October 19. Management fees and listing exchange details have yet to be announced. This ETF could indirectly increase fees for BlackRock affiliates through its use of IBIT options.
