Trimmed some NVDA, IBIT, and QQQM like an autist
I have a good amount of SCHD, VTI, VXUS, JEPQ, XLE, MSTY, ETHA, and IBIT. HCTI is my play and gamble money but I like the direction they're heading. I work in Healthcare so I like seeing healthcare and AI coming together.
Just dropped 20k on IBIT. Lfg https://preview.redd.it/e2uqqocd6r8f1.jpeg?width=808&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2109df0be02887e3f82a2216f956d28858dcc8cb
hate that all the corn moves have been after market close. can’t grab any IBIT puts
Pulled 275k at the end of 2024. Have put about 35k back in to VTI/SCHG/VGT/VIG/BX/IBIT. Will just keep bolstering those positions like a motherfucker when I see red.
Glad I sold those IBIT calls last week
Buying IBIT and more MSTY this week for sure
ibonds aren't that bad since one account is allowed per SSN or EIN. So a married couple with one LLC could open 3 accounts, each with $10K limit. I did just sell off all ibonds and bought IBIT though.
Exactly, gonna be a buying opportunitiy this week on IBIT
this is the bummer of holding IBIT and not Bitcoin on the weekend. can only watch and wait. but it will eventually go up again because this doesn't actually affect corn very much and we're only going to keep devaluing the dollar, and this speeds that up.
buy the dip. There's so much flow into IBIT/MSTR this month and OPEX is over.......
Hey yall. First I wanted to thank this sub, learned alot from it. I'm a beginner investor and would appreciate feedback on my allocation for long term growth. 29M. 50% core fund - CSPX 50% growth 18% SMH 14%SPMO 12%SCHG 6% IBIT Thanks in advance!

 get VOO , SCHG , AVUV , AVDV , some SCHD depending on age . I got some IBIT , GLDM also
ok, for real this time, if bitcoin drops below \~98 i'm finally buying IBIT
Make index funds the cornerstone of your investments. If you have no exposure to Bitcoin, after the next bear market / major correction to Bitcoin, if not now and near ATHs, you may want to consider some exposure to IBIT or FBTC.
War won't force me to sell. I'm more worried about seasonality rotations at end of July. Any war starting towards the end of July that involves US will likely lead to a long sell-off. My holdings: BRK.B, HOOD, COIN, IBIT, AMZN, COST, SOFI, FSDAX, PLTR
$IBIT is $58.97 and it's not even July yet.
VTI and VXUS have you covered on US and international stocks. I am one who agrees with having exposure to Bitcoin as well. If you want this, IBIT is a good way to do it.
IBIT. Bitcoin etf. Sell covered calls. Or bitx 2x leveraged bitcoin futures ETF. Again sell covered calls.
Nobody else buying IBIT at these little dips?
I made it easy and invested 130k, everything I got, on IBIT. Long term hold. I’m done playing games
Talk me out of adding IBIT to my Roth
Exchange Traded Product ETP is a category and ETF is one of the three types along with ETN and ETC. OP is just trying to sound smart but forgot this is still a finance sub even though it's a casino, so his yapping will just look retarded to most people. Greyscale applied to convert their 16b otc Bitcoin Trust to a btc etf and got rejected, then SEC sued them for some reason. They lost to the surprise of no one, since there's already lots of approved btc etf on the market such as Blackrock's IBIT, Fidelity's FBTC, and many more. SEC essentially shot themselves in the foot in-terms of setting the precedence that it's already legal, so SEC had no reason to reject the application let alone sue.
There was a backtest for selling 30 delta monthly options and it has outperformed the S&P over the last 30 years. I’m not sure how I’d backtest my exact strategy because there are nuances to it since I’m holding other tickers besides SPY (SCHG + IBIT will add beta) but I understand the mechanics of it and am comfortable with the R/R.
Since XSP is just settled in cash, it uses margin for the options sale and is treated as if it’s a naked call, even though it’s “covered” by the SPY/SCHG/IBIT shares. Time will tell the results but so far my let liquidity is up and to the right while still being able to take distributions.
Yep l! This is exactly it. Time will tell if the options will generate alpha or act as a hedge; but it’s always part of the trade off if you’re trying to generate income. When options return is negative, I think of it as essentially acting as a hedge and building cash. I am adding capital to the account and have auto buys in my account daily on SPY/SCHG/IBIT to build a bigger position over time. but net returns are positive.

I hold the notional equivalent of just under 500 shares. Most in SCHG (60%), next largest position is SPY (30%), then IBIT (10%)
I mean, from a market cap weight perspective, its not crazy to suggest a small single digit percent allocation to bitcoin, typically a retail investor interested in harvesting rebalancing alpha would use an ETF like IBIT for this. Return Stacked came out with RSSX recently in this vein, its a 2x leveraged fund with $1 of S&P500 and $1 of Gold+Btc strategy and they seek to rebalance regularly to try and generate excess returns from the low correlation of the three assets. Because of bitcoins insane volatility, its a small portion of RSSX. Target is 70% S&P500 via an ETF like IVV, 90% gold futures contracts, 20% cash (typical to hold cash when using futures), and then 10ish% bitcoin via ETFs or ETPs.
Smart man , I also bought the dip. but I fucks with Blackrock's IBIT ( 🌍 worlds largest holder of ₿itty) https://preview.redd.it/62bwl9y7yp6f1.jpeg?width=1206&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=253e93ed673f941896492af9214ddd81d9b06dfb
Imma buy some IBIT when BTC at 90k
Risks aren't gone. Buying gold (SGOL), Bitcoin (IBIT), international (VXUS), energy (VDE) The market recovered because the tariffs were removed/lessoned. Not because of good policies actually helping the economy. Many more bad policies on the horizon.
Would ne nice. My IBIT and Sol would go up (as would most risk on assets)!
My roth ira is pretty aggressive. 50% VTI 50% IBIT (bitcoin) Trying to catch up in the next 15 years~

I also heard about crypto platforms that were hacked numerous times, so this has made me consider pulling out of BTC altogether and just holding IBIT and/or regular index funds. I wouldn't be surprised to see the amount of data breaches on crypto platforms increase as time goes on. That's a good point though.
IBIT just tracks the price of Bitcoin but, in my opinion, is significantly safer than holding actual Bitcoin. One of the largest crypto platforms was just hacked (albeit a small number of their customers) and private data (but not passwords or actual crypto) taken. Seems to me the risk of holding an ETF inside a brokerage account is significantly lower than risk of holding actual crypto either hot or cold. And with lower fees.
Something like 90 or 95% of the money should be in a couple index funds. VTI and VXUS work well. If you want to take 5% and put into crypto, ok. I'd personally suggest using IBIT as the ETF that tracks Bitcoin.
I have all in my portfolio. Broad based S&P etf for diversified risk, individual growth stocks for long term appreciation, and IBIT/bitcoin as a lottery ticket~
If you’re looking for a hobby and not a long term investment, Buy 100 shares of ETHA and IBIT, low dte covered calls with them.
I was buying the actual coin for a while but recently started buying IBIT. Less of a security risk and I know nothing about wallets or cold storage. I just own it as an asset class I want exposure to

Investing in $IBIT is the ultimate set and forget to beat the market year over year lol
Rolling IBIT soon probably. DOH.
Thinking of closing all positions and going full port TEM calls. I have some IBIT and ETHA leaps I don’t want to liquidate though. What to do
Alexa play return of the Mack. IBIT🔥
My IBIT calls gonna carry me to Valhalla, once 🥭 says Gyna is fren, it’s game over for bears
Too late for IBIT calls? 😅
IBIT calls expiring end of year, easy fucking money
Just buy IBIT or BTC. If you’re truly convicted then just MSTR and MSTY.
A logical person might say this: IBIT options is \~2.5x leverage on Bitcoin, almost no theta decay, lower IV, no chance of de-pegging, no maintenance margins. MSTR IV is too high and there's always a chance that NAV breaks off. But from my technical analysis, MSTR did not have the Sydney Sweeney taking a shower formation in its charts.
Buy IBIT. Problem solved.
I have about $350k of IBIT but just shares not options
Spotted the Apatosaurus Formation too, so I also bought 350k worth of IBIT https://preview.redd.it/fb3tzyk7cq5f1.png?width=1041&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f36c305f9bc9108a8497ea8b548ee619cd4acc0
I support this message- I have 25k in IBIT 10k in ETHA and 25k in HUT/CORZ miners.
Fucking love me some IBIT. Amazing liquidity and IV.
What am I supposed to buy... IBIT shares or calls OP?
I'd hop on this too if BTC and IBIT weren't already 90% of my net worth.
>Assuming BTC will reach $200k-$300K over the next 1-3 years Buy ITM IBIT calls with a 1/2026 Want to leverage that bet Yes, this all makes sense. Your strike price will dictate the leverage you obtain. For very deep ITM options (delta approaching 1), your leverage is roughly the price of the ETF divided by the price of the option. For deep ITM options, the theta of the options will approach the leverage times the risk-free rate. >Does this strategy seem sound? I'm concerned I do this strategy and then it turns out that despite (for example) price and timing being accurate ($200-300K over next 1-3 years) that I still lose money or that the gains don't outpace BTC gains or an alternate asset. You're predicting BTC will hit 200-300k over the next 1-3 years. If you take the most pessimistic option: 200k in 3 years you're predicting an annualized return of 24%. If this estimation is correct, it would be nearly impossible not to profit with rolling deep ITM calls.
I think BTC is going to crash but where’s your IBIT puts
Go all in on IBIT puts
Use IBIT and set a % ban bet
Honestly I’m still learning. I buy and hols obvious stuff like PLTR, NFLX, META, MSTR, IBIT. IBIT calls, mainly LEAPs, have given me a nice boost, too.
IBIT and forget about it for a decade.
I’m a long time BOA customer but left Merrill recently when I could not purchase certain ETFs and crypto assets, including IBIT. I’m extremely happy with Public.com now, it’s light years ahead of Merrill in usability, reporting and access to different investment vehicles. I highly recommend switching to Public!
It does look like a bottom for MITSY and I am adding some shares. after selling AT&T with a $5k gain. I am up over 1000% but I didn't ask for it, My last broker added it and I guess someone will inheret it as a long term play Now I'm trying to find soem strategies to add to profits. You have to determine if you want to be long or short, swing or day trade. IBIT might be a cheaper ETF but it's otta sight right now. I think you can also buy fractional shares of Bitcoin or others. My rec is to join a group and do what they do.
$5K VOO $20K Bitcoin ETF like IBIT
🌽 looks like it’s finally going back to its true value (zero). Can’t wait to buy IBIT puts on Monday.
Buy botcoin etf. IBIT or BITO. 💯
What's your horizon for this play, or are we currently viewing the entirety of this strategy's lifetime of trades you'll open? Those QBTS 15ps are dying today. I bot QBTS avg 7.50 May 7-ish and then have been rolling up DITM calls ($2-3 ITM) for the last three weeks, collecting 5% earnings on the position each week with deeply protected long shares. It's easily my second best trade ticker in 2025 behind IBIT which blows everything away. My last roll up was today's May 30 15c to June 20 16c for a 59c credit. Good luck to you sir, though your win is my push or possibly loss. But what I've banked is 3x what I still have at risk, so handshake either way.
Great point tbf. I think your view is accurate in some way, but from my perspective is not that USA stocks are getting expensive, but the dollar becoming “cheaper”. That’s why in my opinion stock market overall will keep rising, and those companies will keep getting more expensive, despite having occasional drops ofc. Nonetheless, I agree with your view on investing in beta or less volatile stocks if you’re doing it with leverage. I have personally leveraged to invest mostly in JEPI, a little part in the SPY and also a minor chunk in IBIT to do covered calls
What do you do?!?!?!!!??!? STOP. Buy VOO, AVUV, XMMO, and 2% of ur portfolio make IBIT and then grow up like an adult
You are 29. Volatility means little. Just put it all in QQQ. Or put 10% in IBIT.
I am doing pure PMCC at this point of time and I have reduced my symbols and simplified my life. Along with market crash recently, I ran into a work situation that required a significant amount of time so I went for simplification. Fewer symbols, less leverage, lower returns. But it gives me ability to scale higher if the market crashes again. At the moment I am writing at the money short calls against my leap. I don't see a need to hedge since my trade size is lower by 30-40%. Also btw when I say fewer symbols- it is just 3. At peak I had 45. Now it is just QQQ, IWM and IBIT with double digit contracts in each. I consider Bitcoin to be broad market so basically no single stock dependency just broad markets will jolt me. And I have cash to manage those downturns and add more if required.
same, I only have MSTY so I can get paid off the options on it because so many people don't even care about IBIT/SBIT or the other etfs
I actually sold most of my S&P holdings, really close to the peak; looks like 188.533 IVV on 2-13 for 611.62, then bought 2632 shares of IBIT. Risky af, and it dropped like 10% there for a while, but I held and I'm up 11.83% today on that. So IVV was up 3.46% on the year when I sold it. That puts me at a very shaky 15.29% on the year.
I'm up 7% on the year. Sold all us Equities at the end of last year. Went heavy into gold and traded IBIT along with a few short positions on equities here and there. Biggest winner has been gold by far. About 35% of my long delta is gold and IBIT right now. Biggest loser TLT cut that pos at a 10% loss.
Two different people that I know from college --literally the worst traders who've only ever bought the top and/or roundtripped in the past-- hmu asking if BTC is a good buy rn Idk about you but i'm buying IBIT puts at open, it's that simple 
Lol....sounds like you don't know how trade BTC. Here's an easy way that doesn't have operational costs of an entire company and only 0.25% MER. [IBIT iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF](https://www.ishares.com/us/products/333011/ishares-bitcoin-trust-etf)
Move it to Fidelity (or anyone else) and buy IBIT. IBIT has increased in value by 61% annually and has been available 16 months.
Beautiful. How quick are you to pull the trigger on profits? I have some IBIT and it went up fast, but I feel this one has room to run. But on another one, I'd be tempted to tap out at 50 percent on my capital or so. Not sure if there's a beat practice for this or not.
Why don’t you buy a better play like IBIT?
I got IBIT leaps for the apocolyptic meltdown
IBIT $80 is insane, Godspeed regard
If you’re able to stay unemotional while investing, pull out of the fund to save yourself the 1% fee which is huge. Standard investing practice is to be well diversified. Majority VOO for equity exposure, some IAUM for gold exposure to hedge against downturns, CTA managed futures as a hedge, and BTC/IBIT for crypto exposure and diversification. You can set your own allocations but personally I would do 60/10/10/20.
Last week that happened to my IBIT. ITM with a day left. I looked at current premiums at that moment for meant strikesup snd they were very high because of the rate of increase at that moment. I rolled. It wasn't cheap but the original premium and new premium were higher than what I paid. The new strike is way out. I kept the shares. People might feel that was the wrong course but im happy with it, very happy. We closed Friday and I was already At 70% profit bc btc went down. I moghtclose it tomorrow to open another one, depending what's going on.
I want around $30k for a house down payment next year. Dropping $15k in IBIT and ETHA tomorrow and logging out for a year.
@OP You can help contribute paying my credit cards. Otherwise pls invest it in 95% VTI and 5% Bitcoin (IBIT). Or to br more conservative 70% VOO, 25% SCHD and 5% IBIT
Btc if you want more gain long run, IBIT if you want to hold in tax free account, but pretty much the same except one you actually own Bitcoin one you don’t
