BTDR snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $9.04, ATM IV 95.25%, IV rank 21.39%, expected move 27.31%. The butterfly on BTDR below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 28-day expiry.

Why this butterfly structure on BTDR specifically: BTDR IV at 95.25% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a BTDR butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 27.31% (roughly $2.47 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated BTDR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on BTDR should anchor to the underlying notional of $9.04 per share and to the trader's directional view on BTDR stock.

BTDR butterfly setup

The BTDR butterfly below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With BTDR at $9.04 on that close, the first option leg uses a $8.50 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed BTDR chain at a 28-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 BTDR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use butterfly on BTDR

Butterflies on BTDR are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect BTDR to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.

BTDR thesis for this butterfly

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for BTDR extends from approximately $6.57 on the downside to $11.51 on the upside. A BTDR long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if BTDR settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current BTDR IV rank near 21.39% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on BTDR at 95.25%. As a Technology name, BTDR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to BTDR-specific events.

BTDR butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. BTDR positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move BTDR alongside the broader basket even when BTDR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current BTDR chain quotes before placing a trade.
