The NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF, ticker BTCI, saw a fresh wave of inflows on December 12, 2025, pulling in $10.77 million in new money despite a choppy backdrop for digital assets. The latest subscription represents roughly 1.2% of the fund’s $894.0 million in assets under management (AUM), a meaningful single-day vote of confidence for a covered-call strategy built on a volatile underlying.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $87,246, down about 25.7% over the past three months. That drawdown underscores the risk backdrop facing BTCI buyers: while the ETF aims to generate high income from options written on Bitcoin exposure, it remains tethered to an underlying that has endured a sharp quarter-long pullback. In the very short term, the picture is cautious, with the 1-day technical stance on Bitcoin flashing a Sell signal.
Still, the latest inflow suggests some investors are willing to lean into weakness, potentially seeking to monetize Bitcoin’s elevated volatility via yield rather than pure price appreciation. As long as crypto markets remain turbulent, strategies like BTCI’s could continue to attract those looking for income while maintaining exposure to the sector’s long-term upside potential.
