    3 High-Yield Bitcoin ETFs for the New Bull Run - 8/12

    Bitcoin Surges Past $122K — These Yielding Crypto ETFs Could Keep Paying You Big


    Bitcoin just staged another powerful rally — briefly topping $122,000 before cooling off.

    And the momentum may just be getting started.


    Some analysts now expect the world’s largest cryptocurrency could test $125,000 in the near term — with more bullish forecasts calling for a run toward $150,000.

    The White House Just Changed the Game for Crypto


    What’s fueling this latest wave of optimism isn’t just technical momentum — it’s politics.


    The White House recently unveiled a 160-page blueprint that ABC News calls “the most comprehensive piece of work on digital assets that’s ever been produced.” The document lays out a sweeping vision to supercharge the crypto industry in the United States.


    The plan calls for:



    • Rolling back regulatory blockades that have slowed innovation.




    • Pushing forward new legislation to broaden crypto accessibility.




    • Positioning the U.S. as the global leader in blockchain adoption.




    In their own words:


    “By implementing these recommendations, policymakers can ensure that the United States leads the blockchain revolution and ushers in the Golden Age of Crypto.”



    That’s not just rhetoric — the administration also signed an executive order making it easier for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to be included in 401(k) retirement accounts.


    For investors, this means that a new wave of capital could start flowing into Bitcoin from both retail savers and institutional players — potentially driving prices higher over the long term.








    Beyond Owning Bitcoin — How to Get Paid While You Wait


    Of course, you could buy Bitcoin directly or pick up crypto-related stocks like MicroStrategy (SYM: MSTR), Marathon Digital Holdings (SYM: MARA), or Riot Platforms (SYM: RIOT) for leverage to the upside.


    But there’s another way — one that lets you collect income while staying exposed to Bitcoin’s potential gains. That’s where these high-yield Bitcoin ETFs come in.


    Here are three of the most compelling right now:

    ETF: Simplify Bitcoin Strategy PLUS Income ETF (SYM: MAXI)




    • Expense Ratio: 6.1%




    • Distribution Rate: 13.49%




    • Dividend Frequency: Monthly




    The MAXI ETF seeks to deliver both capital appreciation and income from Bitcoin exposure. It enhances returns by selling short-dated put and/or call spreads on indices, ETFs, and stocks — generating additional premium income for investors.


    Recent payouts have been eye-catching:



    • July 31: $1 per share




    • June 30: $0.30 per share




    Price performance has been equally strong. Since bottoming near $12.90 in April, MAXI surged to $35.26 before pulling back to about $33.32 — still holding gains as Bitcoin’s price rises.

    ETF: Amplify Bitcoin 2% Monthly Income ETF (SYM: BITY)




    • Expense Ratio: 0.65%




    • 30-Day Yield: 2.46%




    • Distribution Rate: 24.4% (monthly)




    BITY combines Bitcoin price exposure with a covered call strategy designed to generate consistent income.


    According to AmplifyETFs.com:


    “BITY seeks 24% annualized option premium, while also offering upside potential by leveraging weekly options-writing techniques to harness volatility associated with the price of Bitcoin.”



    Recent dividends include:



    • July 31: $1.2062 per share




    • June 30: $1.13 per share




    For investors seeking maximum monthly cash flow from a crypto-linked asset, BITY is one of the most aggressive income plays available.

    ETF: YieldMax Bitcoin Option Income Strategy ETF (SYM: YBIT)




    • Expense Ratio: 0.99%




    • Yield: 1.54%




    Unlike the first two ETFs, YBIT doesn’t invest directly in Bitcoin. Instead, it runs a synthetic covered call strategy on one or more U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETPs (exchange-traded products) — vehicles typically backed by assets like gold, commodities, or crypto tokens.


    That means you can benefit from Bitcoin’s moves without having to manage options trades yourself.


    Recent dividends:



    • July 11: $0.3812 per share




    • June 13: $0.3314 per share

    Bonus: Insider Buying Alert — UPS at Multi-Year Lows


    Away from crypto, another chart caught our attention.


    After plunging from about $120 to $86.67, UPS (UPS) is now sitting at levels not seen since 2020. The drop followed disappointing earnings and pulled guidance — but insiders are stepping in.




    • CEO Carol Tomé just bought 11,682 shares (~$1 million). Her last big buy was in May 2020.




    • Board Chair William Johnson purchased 5,000 shares for ~$432,000 — his second buy in just over a year.




    With heavy insider accumulation and much of the bad news seemingly priced in, UPS could be setting up for a rebound.







    RAD Intel


    The Next AI Boom Is Software - This Startup Is Leading It


    In AI 1.0, hardware dominated.


    Nvidia, AMD, Super Micro – these companies fueled the explosion in processing power. But AI 2.0? It's all about software. And RAD Intel is one of the few early-stage companies poised to lead this next wave.


    Their platform solves a massive inefficiency in modern business: helping brands reach the right customer with the right message. It uses live data – Reddit posts, YouTube videos, TikToks, search terms – to understand how real people behave online... and then crafts AI-driven campaigns that actually convert.


    Hasbro, Sweetgreen, MGM Resorts, and Omnicom already rely on RAD. And insiders from Adobe, Meta, Google, and Fidelity Ventures are backing this company for a reason.


    RAD Intel is early – but very real.
