BlackRock files for Bitcoin income ETF launch next week

BlackRock filed paperwork this week to list a new Bitcoin income ETF on Nasdaq. The iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, ticker BITA, is expected to begin trading as soon as June 18.

The world's largest asset manager submitted a Form 8-A registration filing on Thursday for the fund. Analysts said the step typically signals a launch within one week.

The ETF will sell call options on shares of BlackRock’s existing $49 billion iShares Bitcoin Trust to generate income. It carries a planned annual fee of 0.65 percent, lower than competing covered-call Bitcoin products.

BlackRock is racing Goldman Sachs, whose similar fund is scheduled to debut around July 1. The filing follows earlier steps showing the new ETF has already been seeded and begun trading options.

A single block trade of 29.2 million shares in BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin ETF crossed at $43.16 for roughly $1.26 billion on May 27.

BlackRock’s digital assets ETFs, managing nearly $60.7 billion in assets, produced $42 million in fees during the first quarter of 2026. This figure represented 1.75% of the firm’s total ETF fees, despite comprising just 1.11% of ETF assets under management. The revenue highlights crypto’s higher fee rates but also its vulnerability to market swings.

Jio BlackRock plans to introduce its initial exchange-traded funds in India by August. The joint venture already manages 1.9 billion dollars in assets and will begin with equity strategies.

The Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust completed its first month of trading on May 8 without any net outflows, drawing $193 million in inflows since its April 8 launch.

Bitcoin has climbed back near $60,000, but spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their largest weekly net outflows in more than a year. Institutions appear to be selling aggressively into the price levels that previously drew buying interest.
