JPMorgan ( ) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC) this week, planning to launch structured notes linked to Bitcoin. The news immediately sparked dissatisfaction among crypto world individuals and supporters of MicroStrategy ( Strategy). They questioned why traditional banks, which have often criticized the financial models of encryption reserve companies ( DAT), are now launching Bitcoin products themselves. Coupled with the recent controversy over MSCI index adjustments, this issue has further heated up.
JPMorgan pushes Bitcoin structured notes, triggering backlash from crypto world participants.
JPMorgan's structured note linked to Bitcoin is tied to the Bitcoin spot ETF: IBIT launched in collaboration with BlackRock (. This product will be observed until the end of 2026, and if the IBIT price is higher than the issuance price, the note will be redeemed early, allowing investors to receive a fixed return of 16%, which comes from the IBIT option premium.
If IBIT does not rise, it will be automatically extended until the end of 2028, enjoying higher potential returns. Assuming it is held all the way to 2028 and IBIT exceeds the ultimate target price set by JPMorgan, the reward will be magnified to 1.5 times the original increase, with no upper limit. This product is expected to be launched in December 2025 and will expire in December 2028.
Once the news broke, people in the crypto world and supporters of MicroStrategy expressed their dissatisfaction online.
The image illustrates the operational concept of JPMorgan's Bitcoin structured notes. MSCI plans to adjust index rules, causing controversy after JPMorgan shared this.
According to a previous report from the heavyweight index provider MSCI, DAT may exhibit characteristics similar to investment funds, which do not qualify for MSCI indices. MSCI recommends excluding DAT, which has cryptocurrency holdings accounting for more than 50% of its total assets, from the MSCI All Country Investable Market Index.
Subsequently, after JPMorgan shared this proposal in a research report in November, it sparked initial dissatisfaction among the crypto world and MicroStrategy investors, who are concerned that if DAT is excluded from the MSCI index, it would mean these DAT:
“The passive capital inflows from index funds and ETFs may be cut off, and some DAT may even be forced to reduce or sell their Bitcoin positions in order to meet requalification requirements, further increasing market pressure.”
These people therefore question whether JPMorgan's public sharing of this proposal is amplifying the market's pessimistic sentiment.
