Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are BITX and SBIT levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on bitcoin, BITX at +2 times and SBIT at -2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, BITX or SBIT?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window BITX\u2019s moved at 38% annualized and SBIT\u2019s at 38%, so BITX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold BITX or SBIT for a year?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Both reset every day, so the multiple in the name applies to a single day and the daily results compound. Over a year the total is not the multiple times the year\u2019s move, and in a market that falls and comes back it is reliably less. ETFIQ makes no recommendation either way."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which is cheaper, BITX or SBIT?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"BITX charges 2.75% a year and SBIT charges 0.95%, so SBIT is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus."}}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"ETFIQ","item":"https://etfiq.com/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Leveraged ETFs","item":"https://etfiq.com/leverage/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"BITX vs SBIT","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/bitx-vs-sbit"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"BITX vs SBIT: which held to its multiple?","description":"BITX sets out to return +2 times IBIT each day and SBIT -2 times.
