Objective

WBIG offers a way for Bitcoin investors to improve their risk profile versus holding pure BTC spot exposure.

Methodology

Investors retain Bitcoin exposure through BTC held in the Fund. At the end of each month, Fund Manager sells one-month call options backed by the Bitcoin held in the Fund, collects a premium from option sales, and passes that premium through to investors in the form of a monthly dividend.

The Fund aims to produce 1.5% of AUM in dividends per month (18% per annum).
