Recently, I came across an interesting Bitcoin options strategy—some traders are running covered call strategies. At the end of January and February, they set strike prices at 98,000 and 100,000 respectively, and issued a total of 2,500 BTC worth of call options, collecting over 40 BTC in premiums.



The core logic of this approach is quite clear: as long as the spot price doesn't break through 98,000, they can keep the entire premium. But the risk is also evident—if Bitcoin surges past 100,000, they will have to sell their holdings at a loss.

In simple terms, this is a trade-off between steady income and potential price appreciation. It’s suitable for holders who expect short-term sideways movement or slight upward trends.

This boss really has a steady mindset, earning the royalty fee of 40 BTC just by lying around, but from what I see... once it breaks through the 100,000 mark, you'll have to cut your losses. This profit looks tempting, but it's actually betting that BTC won't rise. It has a bit of a contrarian flavor.

The premium for 40 BTC sounds great, but I'm more concerned about the cost if those 2,500 BTC orders get filled all at once.

This move with 2500 BTC is truly brilliant; the risk-reward ratio is perfectly controlled.

This move is a bit reckless, 2,500 BTC... Once it breaks through 100,000, you'll cut your losses immediately. How can you be willing to take on such risk?

Well, the logic is fine, but how long can the temptation of 40 BTC last... If I really push to 100, I might regret it.
