YieldMax Strategic Metals & Mining Portfolio Option Income ETF (MINY) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to generate current income through a portfolio of options-based strategies on a basket of strategic metals and mining companies. It employs a synthetic covered call strategy, selling call options on selected equity securities tied to the mining sector, including producers of copper, lithium, nickel, uranium, and rare earth elements; this approach aims to provide high monthly income distributions while retaining limited participation in underlying equity price appreciation. The ETF targets investors seeking yield from the volatile strategic metals and mining industry, with holdings typically including leading firms such as Freeport-McMoRan, BHP Group, Southern Copper, Teck Resources, Glencore, Albemarle, Sprott Physical Uranium Trust, MP Materials, and Lynas Rare Earths, among others. Launched in 2024 and domiciled in the United States under the management of YieldMax ETFs, MINY operates primarily in U.S. financial markets with exposure to global mining operations across North America, South America, Australia, and Africa. In late 2025, the fund expanded its portfolio to incorporate additional uranium and rare earth exposure amid rising demand for critical minerals, alongside a strategic alliance with Tidal Investments LLC to enhance options execution efficiency; no major acquisitions or funding rounds have been reported recently.
