Cboe Canada Inc. (“Cboe Canada”) one of Canada’s leading exchange operators, today announces the listing of the Hamilton Enhanced Bitcoin DayMAX™ ETF, trading under the ticker BDAY. The fund, managed by Hamilton Capital Partners Inc. (“Hamilton ETFs”) is a first-of-its-kind product that redefines what a Bitcoin covered call ETF can offer Canadian investors.
“We are excited to expand our DayMAX™ ETF suite with the addition of BDAY — Canada's first ETF to combine Bitcoin exposure with a 0DTE options strategy," said Babak Assadi, Head of Product Strategy and Trading at Hamilton ETFs. "As interest in Bitcoin has grown, we saw an opportunity to apply our expertise in income-generating ETFs through a differentiated approach that combines Bitcoin exposure with attractive semi-monthly income.”
Traditional Bitcoin covered call ETFs generate income by selling call options on their holdings, but at a cost: investors give up meaningful upside when Bitcoin surges. BDAY, however, is designed to offer attractive tax-efficient distributions without selling call options on Bitcoin, offering a combination previously unavailable to Canadian ETF investors. BDAY also employs modest 25% leverage to further enhance both yield and growth potential.
"Cboe Canada is committed to listing products that expand what's possible for Canadian investors," said Joacim Wiklander, CEO of Cboe Canada. "BDAY is a compelling example of innovation in the ETF space, and we are pleased to provide the marketplace for its launch."
Investors can trade units of BDAY and all other Hamilton ETFs through their usual investment channels, including discount brokerage platforms and full-service dealers. To explore all listed securities on Cboe Canada, click here.
