About $15 billion in Bitcoin (BTC) options are scheduled to expire Friday, putting a large block of contracts near key strike prices as the market trades below the largest call concentration.

Contracts expiring Sept. 25 account for more than one-third of total Bitcoin options open interest on the venue. The put-to-call ratio is 0.70, while the largest call positions are concentrated at $85,000, $90,000 and $100,000 strike prices.

Bitcoin was trading near $84,258, down 2% on the day. The price was above the $76,000 max-pain level but below $85,000, where call open interest was most concentrated.

Large options expirations are often accompanied by increased volatility. Hedging activity by market makers can also moderate price swings around settlement.

Why this matters

The roughly $15 billion expiry could increase short-term Bitcoin volatility as positions are settled and market makers adjust hedges. The concentration of calls at higher strikes suggests settlement dynamics could influence price action around key levels, though hedging may also moderate swings.
