In this video, I explain why I sold SPYI and reallocated that capital into BTCI, a Bitcoin income ETF that uses the same covered call strategy—but on a far more volatile underlying asset.

I originally bought SPYI because I wanted reliable income, not just price appreciation. Covered call ETFs made sense to me because they generate cash flow without requiring me to sell my assets. Over time, however, I realized something important:

If the strategy is the same, and the fund manager is the same, why wouldn’t I choose the asset with significantly higher volatility—and therefore higher option premiums?

That realization is what led me to BTCI.

BTCI applies a covered call strategy to Bitcoin exposure, monetizing Bitcoin’s volatility to generate income. Because Bitcoin is far more volatile than the S&P 500, the options market pays much more—resulting in substantially higher distributions.

In this video, I break down:

Why I originally chose SPYI

What specifically changed in my thinking

How covered call income ETFs actually generate yield

Why Bitcoin volatility is a feature, not a flaw

The real differences between SPYI and BTCI

How to decide which income ETF fits your risk tolerance

This is not a recommendation to blindly chase yield. It’s about understanding how income ETFs work, how volatility impacts option pricing, and choosing assets that align with your long-term convictions.

Both SPYI and BTCI are managed by NEOS and use a similar options framework—the difference is the underlying asset.

If you’re interested in income investing, Bitcoin exposure, or covered call ETFs, this video will help you think more clearly about how to position your portfolio.

⚠️ Important note:
The yield is not guaranteed, monthly distributions will fluctuate, and BTCI is not risk-free. This video is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice.
