Hedgeye Asset Management launched the Hedgeye Hedged Bitcoin ETF (NYSE:HBIT), an actively managed ETF designed to provide Bitcoin exposure while seeking to reduce volatility and manage downside risk.
HBIT primarily invests in U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs, including iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:IBIT), rather than holding Bitcoin directly. It uses an options strategy driven by Hedgeye’s proprietary Risk Range Signals, buying and writing puts and calls to manage the fund’s exposure.
The strategy can change as frequently as daily based on bitcoin price trends, volatility, liquidity and Hedgeye’s signals. Unlike defined-outcome bitcoin ETFs, HBIT has no stated upside cap or fixed 12-month outcome period.
As of Aug. 26, Bitcoin traded near $78,000, about 38% below its October 2025 peak of roughly $126,000.
