Overview
Company profile and research snapshot.
Company profile
The fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives through the use of a synthetic covered call strategy that provides current income on a monthly basis, while also providing exposure to the price return of one or more exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that provide exposure to bitcoin and whose shares trade on a U.S.-regulated securities exchange. It will invest at least 80% of its net assets in options contracts that utilize a Bitcoin ETF as the reference asset. For purposes of compliance with this investment policy, derivative contracts will be valued at their notional value. The fund is non-diversified.

BAGY: Monthly Income From Bitcoin Volatility At Double-Digit Yield
Amplify Bitcoin Max Income Covered Call ETF is a new entrant in the Bitcoin call-writing ETF space, launching in April 2025. BAGY employs a synthetic long Bitcoin strategy by buying calls, selling puts, and writing weekly call options about 5% out-of-the-money. Compared to peers like BTCI, YBIT, and YBTC, BAGY's approach is similar to YBTC, with 100% portfolio overwrite and relatively more frequent option resets.
