Investors in the Blackstone Secured Lending Fund (BXSL) can now trade new options contracts for February 2026, with 255 days until expiration. A notable opportunity includes a put contract at the $30.00 strike price, currently with a bid of $0.20. Selling this contract means an investor would agree to buy shares at $30.00 while also collecting the premium, effectively lowering the cost basis to $29.80 per share compared to the current trading price of $32.02.
The $30.00 strike represents a 6% discount, and there’s a 59% chance the put may expire worthless, according to current analytical data. If it does expire worthless, the premium would yield a 0.67% return on the cash commitment, or 0.95% annualized. The implied volatility of the contract is 25%, while the trailing twelve month volatility is calculated at 22%.
