Want to earn yield?
Have sats that are just sitting around?
@Blockchain has quietly rolled out a fully managed rolling covered call strategy on Bitcoin.
It's run through their institutional-grade OTC desk.
For anyone unfamiliar, a covered call essentially lets an investor sell volatility.
You sell options against the underlying asset and collect premiums.
The coins stay custodied with Blockchain the whole time.
If Bitcoin blows past the strike price your upside is capped, but that's the tradeoff for capturing premium.
Over the full backtest period starting in 2021, the strategy returned 232% in coin terms at a 33% annualized return.
If you had instead held Bitcoin through that 2021 bear market until late 2023, you would have lost 40%.
Who is this for?
The covered call strategy is built for institutions and high-net-worth whales.
These are people who are looking to earn yield on a BTC position that they plan to keep, with a minimum investment of $50k.
Is this something you'd every be interested in trying?

The #Bitcoin Whitepaper is a piece of modern scripture.
Nine pages. No visuals. No hype. Just raw clarity.
It has become more than code or a concept, it’s an artifact.
The most romantic document ever written about money 🧡
