CSHR (CoinShares PLC Ordinary Shares) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Financial - Capital Markets, with a market capitalization of approximately $673.4M, a trailing P/E of 2.60, a beta of -1.47 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 3.51-10.43, average daily share volume of 401K, a public-listing history dating back to 2026, approximately 93 full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how CSHR stock options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of -1.47 indicates CSHR has historically moved less than the broader market, dampening realized volatility and producing tighter expected-move bands per unit of dollar exposure. The trailing P/E of 2.60 is on the value side, where IV often compresses outside event windows because forward growth expectations are already discounted into the share price.
What is a butterfly on CSHR?
A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
CSHR snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $5.14, ATM IV 105.90%, expected move 30.36%. The butterfly on CSHR below is built from the end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on CSHR specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for CSHR is inferred from ATM IV at 105.90% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 30.36% (roughly $1.56 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CSHR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CSHR should anchor to the underlying notional of $5.14 per share and to the trader's directional view on CSHR stock.
CSHR butterfly setup
The CSHR butterfly below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With CSHR at $5.14 on that close, the first option leg uses a $4.88 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CSHR chain at a 35-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 CSHR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $4.88 | N/A |
| Sell 2 | Call | $5.14 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Call | $5.40 | N/A |

CSHR thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CSHR extends from approximately $3.58 on the downside to $6.70 on the upside. A CSHR long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if CSHR settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. As a Financial Services name, CSHR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CSHR-specific events.
CSHR 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. CSHR positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CSHR alongside the broader basket even when CSHR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current CSHR chain quotes before placing a trade.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a butterfly on CSHR?
- A butterfly on CSHR is the butterfly strategy applied to CSHR (stock). The strategy is structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward): A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration. With CSHR stock at $5.14 on the most recent close, the strikes shown on this page are snapped to the nearest listed CSHR chain strike and the premiums come straight from that session's bid/ask midpoint.
- How are CSHR butterfly max profit and max loss calculated?
- Max profit equals the wing width minus net debit times 100 (reached when the underlying pins the middle strike); max loss equals the net debit times 100. Two breakevens at lower-wing plus debit and upper-wing minus debit. For the CSHR butterfly priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 105.90%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is unbounded per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.
- What is the breakeven for a CSHR butterfly?
