HAMILTON ETFS LAUNCHES HAMILTON ENHANCED BITCOIN DAYMAX(TM) ETF

Hamilton Capital Partners Inc. has launched the Hamilton Enhanced Bitcoin DayMAX ETF (BDAY). BDAY seeks to deliver attractive income while providing exposure primarily to bitcoin. To supplement income earned from its holdings, mitigate risk and reduce volatility, BDAY employs an actively managed, primarily ultrashort-term, option strategy and employs modest 25-per-cent leverage.

BDAY has closed the offering of its initial Class E units. Units of the ETF will begin trading on Thursday, June 25, 2026, on the Cboe Canada Inc. under the ticker symbol BDAY.

"We are excited to expand our DayMAX ETF suite with the addition of BDAY -- Canada's first ETF to combine bitcoin exposure with a 0DTE options strategy," said Babak Assadi, head of product strategy and trading at Hamilton ETFs. "As interest in bitcoin has grown, we saw an opportunity to apply our expertise in income-generating ETFs through a differentiated approach that combines bitcoin exposure with attractive semi-monthly income."
