Bybit Reports 4.9% Annualized Returns on BTC Wealth Products as Demand for Bitcoin Yield Grows
By Lidia Yadlos
As more long-term Bitcoin holders look for ways to generate returns without selling their BTC, exchanges are expanding products designed to put idle assets to work.
Bybit says its Private Wealth Management (PWM) Bitcoin funds delivered a 4.9% annualized return over the past 60 days, while some individual strategies generated 30-day annualized returns exceeding 40%.
The products are designed for investors who want to remain fully exposed to Bitcoin while seeking additional yield, with investments and settlements both denominated in BTC.
Building Yield Around Bitcoin
Unlike traditional investment products that require investors to convert Bitcoin into fiat or stablecoins, Bybit's PWM strategies allow users to invest, earn and settle entirely in Bitcoin.
According to the exchange, the approach is aimed at long-term holders who want to increase their BTC holdings without reducing exposure to the asset. Launched in September 2025, Bybit PWM now manages more than $239 million across 160+ investment portfolios.
Earlier this year, the exchange introduced PWM 2.0, expanding access to eligible VIP2+ users while adding new portfolio customization features.
Competition Around Bitcoin Yield
As Bitcoin adoption continues to expand, exchanges are increasingly competing to offer products that help investors generate returns while holding the asset.
Unlike proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin does not offer native staking rewards, creating demand for alternative yield strategies ranging from structured products and options-based funds to on-chain lending and managed portfolios.
Bybit says its growing suite of Bitcoin wealth products is designed to give users multiple ways to earn yield based on portfolio size and investment objectives, while maintaining long-term exposure to the cryptocurrency.
