The YieldMax Bitcoin Option Income Strategy ETF, YBIT, recorded net outflows of $856,355 on December 22, 2025, as investors scaled back exposure to its options-based Bitcoin income strategy. With assets under management now at $78.25 million, the latest redemption represents roughly 1.09% of the fund’s AUM, a meaningful single-day shift for a niche derivatives-focused crypto vehicle.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $87,867.55, having shed about 20.6% over the past three months. That drawdown underscores the challenging backdrop for yield-focused Bitcoin strategies that rely on options premiums to offset spot price weakness. Short-term momentum remains fragile, with the 1-day technical signal flashing a cautious Strong Sell, suggesting traders expect further downside or, at best, choppy price action.
The combination of sustained Bitcoin price pressure and bearish technicals appears to be prompting some investors to lock in prior income gains and reduce risk, even as option-income products like YBIT aim to smooth volatility. Persistent outflows in this environment could test the resilience of such strategies, particularly if Bitcoin fails to stabilize above key support levels in the weeks ahead.
