Zach Pandl, the head of research at Grayscale, stated that there are currently two main viewpoints in the market regarding when the Bitcoin bear market will end: one follows the "four-year cycle," and the other views Bitcoin as a mature asset driven by macro factors. The "four-year cycle" viewpoint holds that the halving event remains the core driving factor of the Bitcoin price cycle. Historically, Bitcoin typically bottoms about a year after the cycle peak and approximately 2.5 years after the halving, with an average cumulative drawdown of about 80%. According to this pattern, Bitcoin may still decline further this time and form a bottom in September or October.The other viewpoint suggests that Bitcoin prices will be influenced more by economic growth, real interest rates, and changes in Federal Reserve policy, similar to other major assets. In past Bitcoin bear markets, there has usually been a slowdown in economic growth or an increase in real interest rates, and this decline is also occurring against a backdrop of rising interest rate expectations and increasing real rates. Pandl indicated that he aligns more with the macro-driven perspective. If the Federal Reserve stops raising interest rates and economic growth remains stable, Bitcoin prices may have already bottomed.

Grayscale's research director Zach Pandl stated that if the price of Bitcoin has formed a solid bottom but is consolidating before recovery, a covered call strategy can generate income through Bitcoin volatility while managing spot price exposure. Grayscale assumes a Bitcoin spot price of $65,000 and an implied volatility of 40%, projected until the end of 2026. Under this assumption, the covered call strategy has an annualized return of about 22%, remaining profitable above a breakeven price of approximately $58,500, and outperforming holding spot Bitcoin alone when Bitcoin reaches about $72,500 at expiration.Pandl pointed out that option premiums provide income and downside protection, at the cost of giving up some upside potential when Bitcoin rises significantly. If the Bitcoin spot price falls below the breakeven price, the strategy will still incur losses, but the extent of the loss will be less than directly going long on spot Bitcoin, with the difference equivalent to the call option premium. Grayscale's Grayscale Bitcoin Covered Call ETF, with the ticker BTCC, aims to maximize income generation potential through writing covered calls. The fund does not directly invest in digital assets or initial coin offerings but gains indirect exposure to digital assets through derivatives related to exchange-traded products that hold digital assets.
