The Roundhill Bitcoin Covered Call Strategy ETF, YBTC, recorded net outflows of $1.84 million on December 22, 2025, a noticeable pullback equal to roughly 0.83% of its $222.6 million in assets under management. The redemption suggests some investors are reassessing covered-call Bitcoin income strategies as the underlying crypto market weathers a sharp drawdown.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $87,867.55, down about 20.6% over the past three months. Despite Bitcoin’s longer-term structural appeal to many institutional allocators, the coin’s recent slide has coincided with a 1-day technical signal of Strong Sell, underscoring growing near-term downside momentum.
For income-focused investors, YBTC’s recent outflows may reflect tension between the allure of option premium in a volatile asset and the risk of capital erosion when the underlying is trending lower. If Bitcoin’s weakness persists, covered-call products like YBTC could face continued pressure from investors unwilling to trade upside participation for yield in a declining market.
