Hamilton ETFs Launches Hamilton Enhanced Bitcoin DayMAX(TM) ETF

Hamilton ETFs Expands Income-Focused Suite with First Canadian Bitcoin-Options Hybrid

Executive Summary
  • Hamilton Capital Partners Inc. (Hamilton ETFs) announced the launch of the Hamilton Enhanced Bitcoin DayMAX™ ETF (ticker: BDAY).
  • The fund combines direct Bitcoin exposure with an actively managed ultra-short-term (0DTE) options strategy and applies 25% leverage to generate semi-monthly income distributions.
  • The initial Class E units offering has closed, and trading is scheduled to commence on Cboe Canada on June 25, 2026.
  • Hamilton ETFs currently manages over $17 billion in assets under management (AUM).
  • The product is positioned to capture demand for income-generating crypto exposure while attempting to mitigate volatility through options overlays.
Material Impact
  • Strategic impact: Expands Hamilton's DayMAX™ suite into the crypto-asset space, targeting retail and income-focused institutional investors seeking regular distributions.
  • Financial impact: No AUM targets, fee structures, or revenue projections are disclosed. The closed Class E offering size is unknown, meaning immediate capital inflow cannot be quantified.
  • Operational impact: Requires ongoing options trading infrastructure, risk management oversight, and regulatory compliance for leveraged crypto products.
  • Market impact: Incremental. Asset managers typically see gradual AUM accretion from new ETFs; this launch does not alter the company's core fee-based revenue model or margin profile.
