JPMorgan Files New Bitcoin Note Offering 1.5x Gains Through BlackRock’s IBIT

Story Highlights

JPMorgan has taken a surprising leap back into Bitcoin – this time with a leveraged structured note tied directly to BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the world’s largest BTC ETF.

The filing, made this week with U.S. regulators , arrives just days after the bank criticized MicroStrategy, faced boycott calls over alleged crypto debanking, and pushed MSCI to consider excluding Bitcoin-heavy companies from major indexes.

Now, the same institution is rolling out a product built to ride Bitcoin’s next major cycle.

The structured note mirrors Bitcoin’s well-known four-year pattern: weakness two years after a halving, followed by renewed strength heading into the next one. With the last halving in 2024, JPMorgan is effectively positioning investors for a potential dip in 2026 and a surge in 2028.

According to the filing, if IBIT hits or exceeds a preset price by December 2026, the bank will call the note and pay a minimum 16% return. But if IBIT stays below that level, the note extends to 2028 and the payoff becomes far more aggressive.

Investors would earn 1.5x whatever gains IBIT delivers by the end of that year, with no cap on upside.

The note also includes partial downside protection. Investors recover their principal in 2028 as long as IBIT doesn’t fall more than 30%. But once that threshold breaks, losses mirror the decline.

JPMorgan warns that holders could lose over 40%, or even their entire investment, if Bitcoin collapses during the period.

The launch comes amid a rapid shift in messaging from the bank. JPMorgan now says crypto is evolving into a “tradable macro asset class” driven by institutional liquidity rather than retail speculation.

ETF inflows reinforce that story: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP have all posted strong net inflows despite a 30% market drawdown since October.

The product signals that Wall Street’s biggest players are preparing for the next major Bitcoin cycle even as broader market conditions remain fragile.

Whether JPMorgan’s pivot marks a turning point will depend on whether BTC can reclaim momentum heading into 2026 .
