My IBIT puts are gonna print. Every 🌽 pump dumps shortly after.
IBIT and ETHA puts, grab em quickly. All of today’s gains will be revered within 24 hours
Unless I am missing something, it only seems geared to calls as the BTC breakeven price is always higher than the BTC ITM price, which would not be the case with puts. Also why limit the IBIT strike price to integer values, as nearer term option chains will have strikes ending in .50.
GO CORN GO. IBIT call holder here.
UPS, IREN, IBIT, BTCI. these are the largest. there are several others that will come back like MSFT and MO so not too worried about those.
MSTR. Moves slow on upswings and moves fast on downswings. Bitcoin will hit a new all time high of 130k and I guarantee I’ll still be in the red. Shoulda just bought BITX or IBIT for BTC exposure.
this is not correct, you can buy put options on IBIT to hedge your position: [https://www.investing.com/etfs/ibit-nasdaq-options](https://www.investing.com/etfs/ibit-nasdaq-options)
Foaming at the mouth to grab easy puts on this IBIT bounce. Unfortunately itll likely fade before the bell
Massive Rotation Happening. BTC and ETH ETFs bleeding this hard while SOL and XRP ETFs pull in fresh inflows shows one thing: investors aren’t leaving crypto they’re reallocating. BlackRock dumping $2B from IBIT is huge, but the money didn’t exit the asset class; it moved to higher-beta plays with upside narratives. SOL ETF inflows are especially wild for a brand-new product. Feels less like “crypto is dying” and more like market is reshuffling for the next cycle.
I’m just trolling you I have 6 figures in IBIT calls
IBIT puts? Calls never work, even when BTC goes up lol
Sell MSTR to buy IBIT? Just buy 🌽for loss harvesting
Thinking of selling MSTR, do tax loss harvesting and buying some $MU, $EWY, $IBIT, $AMKR. What do you think?
That ridiculous move on BTC was caused by me buying IBIT puts on Friday
I think we are entering modestly high inflation at 2.5%-3.0% CPI while labor productivity continues to surge from AI, spatial web and robotics factories. Inflation hedges are hard assets: Gold buy GLD or GDX Real estate by Realty Income (O) or Federal Realty Trust (FRT) Crypto buy IBIT
I'd sell covered calls IBIT, APPL, or MSFT. do this consistantly to receive residual income (10-18%) are my estimates. I would expect IBIT to pop off around Q2 2026 when BTC pumps with trump stimmys. So depends on how active you want to be trading. You want to be fucking rich with no hastle? Buy btc and hold the fucker like your new born baby till it hits close to 165,000. Not financial advice. Just thoughts of a market I'm no longer invested in.
You're on a great track with your emergency fund, consistent investing, and long-term focus. Your current portfolio (VWCE + IBIT) is already simple and effective. Adding a tech/semiconductor ETF means moving from a broad, diversified core to a more targeted strategy. Key points to consider: Concentration Risk: VWCE already includes major tech companies. Adding a sector ETF increases your portfolio's dependence on that single industry's performance. Volatility: Sector-specific investments typically come with higher potential for both growth and drawdowns compared to a global index. Strategic Clarity: It's worth defining your specific long-term thesis for the sector and deciding on firm allocation and rebalancing rules beforehand. **A powerful lever at your stage is investing in your career and skills to increase your income, which can significantly boost your total investing power over time.** I would get distracted with sector bets and rather focus on income for now, stay invested though
It’s a bitcoin proxy so it really comes down to (1) your view on bitcoin and (2) the discount / premium to NAV. If you are into options then it also has higher IV than IBIT or other straight BTC ETFs. Personally I sold the April $180P for like $32 last week. I expect we will have support at these levels for a bit longer and maybe a run back to the ATH, so a good shot at collecting 20% in just a few months.
Try mstr. Hedge with long IBIT puts with some of that premium
With IBIT now available and popular, I just don't see MSTR returning to a "premium" over BTC. Combine that with MSTR's commitment to paying interest/dividends with no substantial source of income, and the prospect of further dilution with additional share sales... Not clear cut and maybe MSTR gets purchased outright but seems like a lot of risk and the reward is basically capped at restoring MSTR/BTC parity.
Yeah, exactly. The current 'shares per BTC' is 1,760.56 (or 0.0005680 BTC per IBIT share), which is shown in the box near the bottom of the page on the tool. The calculator also updates the BTC/IBIT parity automatically, taking into account tracking drift, fees, and any NAV deviations so the conversion stays pretty accurate without extra work. There’s also a dropdown in the header next to IBIT with the top 10 BTC ETFs preloaded. Once those data feeds are finalized, you’ll be able to quickly run conversions for IBIT, FBTC, GBTC, and the rest. Idea is to replace manual calculations or spreadsheets, quickly switching between strikes for Bitcoiners that think in terms of BTC price, not IBIT (or FBTC, etc).
Yeah it's a thing. IBIT gets destroyed when the market is open. Few more weeks when nobody is looking it will rip hard. My theory. Been upping my position and lowering cost while regards here say its going to zero. It's not.
They all should offer the ETFs that track 🌽, like IBIT.
> The 11 U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs have now logged a combined $3.79 billion in outflows in November, the largest on record and exceeding the previous peak of $3.56 billion set in February, CoinDesk reported, citing data from SoSoValue. > > BlackRock’s bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has recorded more than $2 billion in redemptions this month, according to SoSoValue. In contrast, the newly launched Solana (SOL-USD) and XRP (XRP-USD) ETFs have attracted $300.46 million and $410 million in net inflows, respectively. Ether ETFs have also faced record outflows, totaling $1.79 billion. 🤣
As a MSTR holder down big, only buy if you love seeing red for the indefinite future. Don’t think we’ve had a week of green on the screen since November 2024 and lots of negative sentiment headed our way (MSCI exclusion, S&P exclusion, weekly fiascos with ATMs and paying back preferreds, cash fund to assuage investors etc) If you’ve got balls of steel and can HODL long term for 2+ years with it worrying about seeing 15-80% negative dips go for it. If I can ever break even again (above $400) I’m immediately cycling half back into IBIT or something else…love the idea but the execution has gone horribly wrong
IBIT can liquidate its holding for a number of reasons.
I had the same exact question, so I built a free webapp calculator for this: [https://btcetfcalc.com/](https://btcetfcalc.com/) Ex: "What price does $BTC need to hit for this $60C to print?" IBIT $60 Strike | Premium $1.03 Break-even BTC: $107,447 Requires +$15,473 move (+16.8%) Spot: BTC $91,974 | IBIT $52.18 \>> [https://btcetfcalc.com/?strike=60&premium=1.03](https://btcetfcalc.com/?strike=60&premium=1.03) I just published it yesterday. Lmk your thoughts and any feature requests. I plan to add the top 10 other ETFs as well. Cheers!
uh I'd pull up the QQQ and IBIT comparison. This is very much a lie lol. The Nasdaq isn't as volatile, but until November, they traded relatively closely together. I don't like that move as a sign of risk.
I don't need to own IBIT anymore because fucking HOOD is so correlated with it
I got out and I'm just buying IBIT. [https://finance.yahoo.com/news/strive-acquisition-offer-semler-scientific-164141901.html](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/strive-acquisition-offer-semler-scientific-164141901.html)
As soon as I saw big call flow coming in on IBIT yesterday, I loaded up on puts. What a great trade so far
I ad IBIT calls just in case, but prefer to lose and watch it burn 😂
IBIT calls here will absolutely print btw
IBIT 0dte tomorrow might be kinda spicy
I trade both largely. there are specific profit mechanisms that appear in each asset class. for example, i like to maintain covered strangles in index ETFs like QQQ, IWM, TQQQ, IBIT, etc. these serve as a core position that I trade options around and trend follow with momentum. individual stocks is where I trade things like breakouts, breakdowns, earnings volatility, etc.
Gambling on some cheap PATH puts. Using an actual strategy on IBIT calls/puts.
Man, this sub sure is struggling with intraday action. That wobble there was not so hard to play. Cut half of a few winners, then all of one, that was leaving some dough on table but I like the basket of sells. Then a quick IBIT long call off the spike low, close that then cover my IREN with short 45.50 expiring tomorrow to lock in gains and stabilize into the close. **The easy market from April to October is over.** Time to trade like a cold blooded assassin everyone. We can do this.
Probably nothing new. Buying dips on core positions. Good chunk of a gold ETF. Probably more NLR and IBIT if they dip further. Steady contributions to VOO and SCHD. Past few years have been mostly amazing on individual stocks but trying to get more conservative with my investments.
IBIT chasers about to get glassed
IBIT calls or puts depending on how far extended 🌽 is in either direction. Wait for reversal to buy. Sell upon the next reversal or end of day.
Already have one IBIT bet going
I need IBIT at 55 by Friday... Wish I was out one more fucking week. Who knows.
2025, I already made $400k+ short-term gain , from trading Stocks + Options + Dividend (QQQI) Sold pretty much everything and took profits. Basically, right now my two biggest holding , bought the dip > 10,000 IBIT @ $48 ....... $480,000 > 2,200 META @ $585 ... $1.28M I plan to hold these 2 positions until mid-2026 or end-2026 In the meantime, I am using margin to Sell Put on TSLA , making about avg $4,000 per week ----------------------------------------- META dropped to a very attractive PE and price level, so the risk to reward was very good. Same for BTC (IBIT) Currently, I don't hold QQQI, but will definitely rebuilt my QQQI position in 2026 as I collect more CASH from selling options. My two biggest position right now ( IBIT & META ) is NO MARGIN , so I can just hold it and let it ride 2026, I estimate, I can make around $4,000+ per week from trading options .... which will be used to buy QQQI (maybe also some BTCI)
Alright IBIT, thanks for the 325%. But I think you’re dead again homie.

No, so say I have 1k shares of IBIT. I want to sell CCs to farm premium on those shares, but I know BTC could moon at any moment and blow through my strikes (capping my gains). So I buy 10 calls that expire 2 years from now. If BTC doubles in a month and destroys my covered calls I still have the 10 long calls that will gain in value. This helps to keep gains on the table even if all my shares get called away. As I lose shares I sell puts to wheel back in.
Interesting note about Harvard probably running the Chanos short MSTR / long IBIT pair trade https://x.com/dampedspring/status/1996190219276587271?t=hVD9Ih7HuPUcEx-WyjdFmw&s=19

IBIT tendies printing big tomorrow 6:30am my time 🚀🇺🇸🤌
Emergency fund in physical gold… Then I do 33% IBIT, VT, and USFR… Then I follow four rules… When I get paid, I buy whatever asset is lagging. If VT lags behind my short-term treasuries, then I sell short-term treasuries until VT equals US FR if the portfolio doubles in terms of dollars then I rebalance. all portfolio income goes into VT.
Bought a chunk of IBIT this morning because I want to be a long term bag holder one day
If you were here Sunday night and didn’t buy IBIT calls or MSTR calls idk what to tell you. It was the most obvious reversal since GLD hit 400. Every mother fucker in here wouldn’t shut the fuck up about 🌽 going down.
I have IBIT calls, but I would be just as happy if all the liquidity is removed from crypto and dumped in the market. There's no need for all these vehicles.
Need IBIT at $56 EOW. Haven't done real gambling in a while, but will prob buy out the shares this time.
Premium hunter can speak for himself. I interpret it this way \- Sell CC on IBIT \- Buy calls on IBIT further out from the CC price (out via time and strike price) \- If IBIT gets called, sell CSPs to get back in. I do the same but haven't bought the longer-dated OTM calls. Unlike others I sell my CC's further out. 3 months out at 0.25 delta usually gets me around 3-4% premium for that 3 mos. This is via a registered account so allows me to hold bitcoin yet wheel and get premium tax-free.
Glad I’m not short on IBIT and MSTR anymore…

Sounds like a good plan & approach. For me, I wanted the IBIT shares. Now, I am slowly building up CASH. Probably will do similar strategy when I have more CASH
Did well on IBIT calls today- crazy you can make real money trading financial derivatives on an ETF benchmark fund tracking the price of pretend magic internet money.

Huge failed attempt for crypto to get above Friday’s highs. Good place to short IBIT or ETHA here
+20k on IBIT calls, -14k on SPX calls. Not great but I’ll take it.
So mad at myself for not getting IBIT calls yesterday
Almost time to sell some CC for IBIT https://preview.redd.it/ygygt3s51u4g1.jpeg?width=1070&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9fe89345821de291cad7be46a5d0c40f21391d4
I have one share of IBIT, since inception, shoulda bought more, eh?
wheres 10,000 IBIT shares guy
It really was a boomer move from Vanguard at the start. Not offering their own spot Bitcoin ETF is one thing, but straight-up blocking clients from buying certain ETFs was short-sighted and honestly pretty anti–free market. Meanwhile BlackRock,their biggest competitor, is basically the reason the SEC finally approved spot Bitcoin ETFs in the first place. IBIT has become one of the best-performing ETFs ever. When it crossed $100B in October, it did so in record time, way faster than the eight years it took VOO to hit the same milestone. Only 18 U.S. ETFs even have more than $100B, and IBIT is the fastest-growing ETF in history. So yeah, Vanguard definitely dropped the ball here and showed a lack of vision. Better late than never, I guess.
Haven’t seen anyone mention this but vanguard officially allowing its clients to buy crypto ETFs as of this morning. Explains the move in bitcoin. Pretty massive considering they were very anti-crypto and have now changed attitude. I bought some IBIT this morning.
Bitcoin back to ATH by next week would be a treat (i have a bunch of IBIT calls)
Where’s the guy that loaded up on IBIT yesterday?
55 strike for RKLB or IBIT? I had 51 circled for RKLB and up mid to high 50's for IBIT (if crypto isn't cooked).
> Many people's (and organizations) exposure to Bitcoin comes from 3rd party entities which hold the actual wallet. Look at Blackrock's IBIT fund. So what? Bitcoin gives you the choice. You can self custody or use a third party (like we do with almost every other financial holdings). > Bitcoin is being centralized - with Blackrock. And eventually it will become a Central Bank Digital Currency. That’s not centralization. Owning Bitcoin does not give you power or control of the network. So your claim doesn’t make sense here. A central bank digital currency would be owned and controlled by a central entity. That’s not happening now.

Grabbing some IBIT from Vanguard. YOU?
I have calls on IBIT since like 2 weeks now, but wayyy OTM, C60 44 DTE. Cya there!
[ IBIT vs BTC ] is 1-to-1 , but with IBIT , I can Sell Cover Call and make avg $2000 per week .... that's about $100k per year
I would short $IBIT instead. $BITI has like 1/20th volume of $IBIT. So often the moves are way off tracking. Option spreads even on the dailies make it unusable.
Why not just directly on $IBIT? $MSTR puts made some money today right at open. But very quickly switched to calls and then those started printing $$$.
NVDA calls if it breaks the 181 trend line, puts if it's rejected. I think RKLB has bottomed out so looking for every opportunity for long calls. Possibly looking at an IBIT play. BTC setting up to either set a new low or start a recovery.
#BTC never cared about your IBIT options, puffy vest LMAO🤌
Tards are piling into MSTR and IBIT options way too early, we saw the same thing w Meta a month ago.
6 mil shares of MSTU 2 mil shares of BMNU 2 mil shares of MSTX 2 mil shares of IBIT 1 mil shares of ETHA all happening after hours when retail cant react with options and you tards think that rate cuts are priced in cant wait for the fomo next week
Shhh, let them believe it’s going to 0. IBIT and ETHA options are literally April opportunities all over again for those who missed out. My ETHA calls are out till 6/16/26 and im holding BMNR shares I scooped up when MNAV went to 0.9. IM CHILLIN
I plan to Sell Cover Call on my 10,000 IBIT shares to generate CASH. If BTC drop more , I will use the CASH to buy more IBIT
I’ve bought IBIT calls which feels like the most regarded thing I could do, which is exactly why I did it, and as expected it appears to be working.
🤣 nope , this morning decided to set buy limit and bought shares at $48 I plan to start selling Cover Call for my IBIT shares. Fyi, for CSP, if you get assigned, the cost basis will usually never be whole number.
Early this year, almost FOMO into BTC around $105k ... now that BTC dropped to $85k , im going to take a position. The crypto Fear & Greed index is really low right now .... the fear is the same as the FTX incident... I am comfortable to buy when everyone running away.... structural, things are improving for BTC I plan to Sell Cover Call on my 10,000 IBIT shares to generate CASH. If BTC drop more , I will use the CASH to buy more IBIT
Buying IBIT calls hoping Saylor goes full retard one more time and but another 20 billion of 🌽.
Not 1 MAG7 stock could retrace Fridays slide. I'll stay Put for now. Plenty of ways to hedge this (Looking at IBIT) now.
Solid allocation but I'd probably bump that IBIT to like 10-15% at 18, you've got decades to ride out the volatility. Also OP since you're in France you might wanna look into UCITS versions of those ETFs for tax purposes - like VWCE instead of VT/VXUS
You're young. Go 35% QQQ. 30% VOO. 10% VT. 10% VXUS. 10% BIL. 5% IBIT.
