Bitcoin just soared past $110,000, setting a new all-time high and pushing its market cap over $2.1 trillion, now ranking it as the 5th largest asset globally — just behind gold, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Apple. The crypto market is roaring, and while many are rushing in on pure speculation, I’m playing it with calculated precision.
Instead of chasing the highs or timing tops, I’m deploying a conservative yet highly profitable strategy: buying iBIT (iShares Bitcoin Trust) and selling covered calls to monetize the volatility.

📈 The Setup: Buy iBIT at $61, Sell the $55 C
all
iBIT currently trades at $61. With volatility elevated — thanks to macro uncertainty, regulatory news like the GENIUS Act, and Trump’s potential crypto-friendly policies — option premiums are juicy$iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF(IBIT)$
I choose to sell a covered call with a $55 strike expiring in 127 days, collecting a premium of $12 per share.
Let’s break this down:
• Initial Cost: $61 (buying 1 share)
• Premium Collected: $12 (from selling the call)
• Effective Cost Basis: $49 ($61 – $12)
• Maximum Upside (if called at $55): $6
• Return: $6 profit on $49 = 12.24%
• Time Frame: 127 days (~4.2 months)
This means I earn roughly 1% every 10 days or ~3% monthly, all while holding a Bitcoin-linked asset. No need to predict where BTC goes next — I win through structure and patience.

🔐 Why I Prefer This Over Spot BTC
While most retail investors YOLO into Bitcoin and altcoins, I prefer instruments like iBIT — a regulated, institutional-grade Bitcoin trust that gives me exposure to BTC’s upside with the flexibility of option income.
In a high-volatility environment, selling covered calls deep in the money lets me lock in double-digit returns while reducing risk. If Bitcoin pulls back, I still keep the premium and my downside is cushioned. If it rises slightly and I get called away, I walk off with a healthy 12% gain in 127 days.
In this setup, volatility is my friend — not my fear.

🧠 Macro View: Crypto, Trump, and Greed
With Trump signaling pro-crypto regulation, and stablecoin frameworks finally moving through Congress, we may be witnessing the institutional legitimization of Bitcoin. Market sentiment has clearly shifted to “greed” — and while that can lead to short-term spikes, it also means option premiums are inflating.
I don’t need to guess if BTC hits $120K or $90K. I’ll let the market pay me either way, one option contract at a time.

Final Word: Smart Income in a Speculative World
In a time where most chase headlines, I’m focused on generating steady returns with Bitcoin-based assets. iBIT lets me play the upside, and selling covered calls ensures I don’t leave money on the table — even during market consolidation.
If BTC keeps ripping, I profit. If it stalls, I still profit. That’s the power of structured, disciplined investing.@CaptainTiger @MillionaireTiger @TigerEvents @TigerStars @Daily_Discussion
