YieldMax™ announced the launch today of the YieldMax™ Bitcoin
Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSE Arca: YBIT).
YBIT seeks to generate current
income via a synthetic covered call strategy on one or more select
U.S.-listed exchange-traded products that seek exposure to Bitcoin
(each a “Bitcoin ETP”). YBIT is
actively managed by ZEGA Financial.
When selecting Bitcoin ETPs on which to trade options, ZEGA
focuses primarily on the following two key factors:
- Preference for Bitcoin ETPs that hold "physical" or "spot"
Bitcoin over such ETPs that reference Bitcoin indirectly via
futures contracts.
- Selection of Bitcoin ETPs that have sufficient option liquidity
to support YBIT’s trading activities.
YBIT does not invest directly in any Bitcoin ETP. YBIT
does not invest directly in Bitcoin or any other digital assets.
YBIT does not invest directly in derivatives that track the
performance of Bitcoin or any other digital assets. Investors
seeking direct exposure to the price of Bitcoin should consider an
investment other than the YBIT.
YBIT is the newest member of the growing
YieldMax™ ETF family and, like all YieldMax™ ETFs, aims to deliver
current income to investors. Please see table below for
distribution and yield information for all outstanding YieldMax™
ETFs.

1 All YieldMax™ ETFs shown in the table above (except
YMAX, YMAG and
ULTY) have a gross expense ratio of 0.99%.
YMAX and YMAG have a Management
Fee of 0.29% and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses of 0.99% for a
gross expense ratio of 1.28%. “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are
indirect fees and expenses that the Fund incurs from investing in
the shares of other investment companies, namely other YieldMax™
ETFs. ULTY has a gross expense ratio of 1.24%, but
the investment adviser has agreed to a 0.10% fee waiver through at
least February 28, 2025.2 The Distribution Rate shown is as of
close on April 22, 2024. The Distribution Rate is the annual yield
an investor would receive if the most recently declared
distribution, which includes option income,
remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate is
calculated by multiplying such distribution by twelve (12), and
dividing the resulting amount by the ETF’s most recent NAV. The
Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and
does not represent its total return. Distributions may also include
a combination of ordinary dividends, capital gain, and return of
investor capital, which may decrease an ETF’s NAV and trading price
over time. As a result, an investor may suffer significant losses
to their investment. These Distribution Rates may be caused by
unusually favorable market conditions and may not be sustainable.
Such conditions may not continue to exist and there should be no
expectation that this performance may be repeated in the
future.3 The 30-Day SEC Yield represents net investment
income, which excludes option income, earned by
such ETF over the 30-Day period ended March 31, 2024, expressed as
an annual percentage rate based on such ETF’s share price at the
end of the 30-Day period.4 Each ETF’s strategy will cap
potential gains if its reference asset’s shares increase in value,
yet subjects an investor to all potential losses if the reference
asset’s shares decrease in value. Such potential losses may not be
offset by income received by the ETF.
Each Fund has a limited operating history and while each
Fund’s objective is to provide current income, there is no
guarantee the Fund will make a distribution. Distributions are
likely to vary greatly in amount.

Risk Disclosures (Unless stated otherwise, the noted
risks below apply to all YieldMax ETFs referenced
above)
Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
Applicable only to YBIT: Bitcoin ETP Risk. The
Fund invests in options contracts that are based on the value of
the Bitcoin ETP. This subjects the Fund to certain of the same
risks as if it owned shares of the Bitcoin ETP, even though it does
not. Bitcoin ETPs are subject, but not limited, to significant risk
and heightened volatility. An investor in a Bitcoin ETP may lose
their entire investment. Bitcoin ETPs are not suitable for all
investors. In addition, not all Bitcoin ETPs are registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940. Those Bitcoin ETPs that are not
registered under such statute are therefore not subject to the same
regulations as exchange traded products that are so registered.
Call Writing Strategy Risk. The path dependency
(i.e., the continued use) of the Fund’s call writing strategy will
impact the extent that the Fund participates in the positive price
returns of the underlying reference asset and, in turn, the Fund’s
returns, both during the term of the sold call options and over
longer time periods. Counterparty Risk. The Fund
is subject to counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in
options contracts. Transactions in some types of derivatives,
including options, are required to be centrally cleared (“cleared
derivatives”). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the
Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house rather than a bank or
broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only
members of a clearing house (“clearing members”) can participate
directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared
derivatives through accounts at clearing members.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial
instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset
or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs),
interest rates or indexes. The Fund’s investments in derivatives
may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated
with directly investing in securities or other ordinary
investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect
correlation with underlying investments or the Fund’s other
portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability,
counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions.
Options Contracts. The use of options
contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions.
The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among
other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the
underlying instrument, including the anticipated volatility, which
are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and
international political, changes in the actual or implied
volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the
expiration of the option contract and economic events.
Distribution Risk. As part of the Fund’s
investment objective, the Fund seeks to provide current monthly
income. There is no assurance that the Fund will make a
distribution in any given month. If the Fund does make
distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary
greatly from one distribution to the next.
High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may
actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the
Fund’s holdings. Liquidity Risk. Some securities
held by the Fund, including options contracts, may be difficult to
sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil.
Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Fund is
“non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets
in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers
than if it was a diversified fund. New Fund Risk.
The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with
no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not
have a track record or history on which to base their investment
decisions. Price Participation Risk. The Fund
employs an investment strategy that includes the sale of call
option contracts, which limits the degree to which the Fund will
participate in increases in value experienced by the underlying
reference asset over the Call Period. Single Issuer
Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment
in the Fund to be more volatile than a traditional pooled
investment which diversifies risk or the market generally. The
value of the Fund, which focuses on an individual security (ARKK,
TSLA, AAPL, NVDA, AMZN, META, GOOGL, NFLX, COIN, MSFT, DIS, XOM,
JPM, AMD, PYPL, SQ, MRNA, AI, MSTR, Bitcoin ETP), may be more
volatile than a traditional pooled investment or the market as a
whole and may perform differently from the value of a traditional
pooled investment or the market as a whole.
Investors in the Fund will not have rights to receive dividends
or other distributions, if any, with respect to the Fund’s
underlying reference asset.
