About BILI
Bilibili (BILI) is a major company in Chinese video and gaming platform. Options traders on BILI tend to watch user growth, ad and gaming revenue and earnings, since these can drive large moves in the share price.
BILI for options traders
Bilibili is a Chinese online video and gaming platform with a deeply engaged younger user base, and its options carry a structurally elevated IV that reflects multiple overlapping risk layers. Quarterly earnings are a primary catalyst, but the real volatility engine is the combination of Beijing's regulatory stance toward entertainment and gaming content, U.S.-China geopolitical tensions that affect all Chinese ADRs, and sudden shifts in sentiment toward growth-oriented Chinese internet names. Because BILI is a mid-cap ADR with a narrower institutional following than BABA or JD, even moderate news flow can produce outsized percentage moves.
Options liquidity on BILI is meaningful but thinner than on the mega-cap Chinese ADRs, so traders typically work near-the-money strikes on near-term expirations where bid-ask spreads are manageable. The elevated IV makes premium-selling strategies — short strangles, iron condors, or covered calls — attractive in quiet stretches, though the persistent tail risk from regulatory headlines demands careful position sizing. Into earnings or major policy announcements, long straddles and strangles suit the profile well, since the stock's tendency toward abrupt, gap-heavy moves means the implied volatility is often justified rather than overpriced.

Historical backtest: how a Iron Butterfly on BILI would have performed
We approximated a Iron Butterfly on BILI, entered repeatedly over the past year (91 historical entries, each held to expiration) with Black-Scholes-modelled entry premiums. Here is how that would have played out on real BILI price history — an educational backtest, not a prediction of future returns.
Approximate: entry premiums are modelled with Black-Scholes from trailing realised volatility, held to expiration and settled against the real historical close. Real fills, implied volatility and slippage differ — treat it as directional context, not exact returns.
Implied volatility
BILI is currently trading with elevated implied volatility, so its options carry richer premiums. On the options we scanned that was around 50% implied volatility, and higher implied volatility means richer premiums and wider expected moves.
Options on BILI currently price in about 50% implied volatility, versus roughly 38% the stock has actually realised over the past month. That makes options relatively expensive — an edge for strategies that sell premium, such as credit spreads and iron condors.
BILI's IV Rank is 33/100: implied volatility sits 33% of the way between its 25-day low (43%) and high (65%), and is above 23% of recorded days. Premium is historically cheap, which favours net-debit strategies like long options and debit spreads.
Off that volatility, the options market is pricing a move of about ±$2.47 (±16%) in BILI by 2026-10-16 — a range of roughly $12.76 to $17.7. Strikes inside that band hold most of the premium and see most of the action.
Across strikes, upside calls on BILI carry a higher implied volatility than downside puts — demand is tilted to the upside, which favours call spreads or selling cash-secured puts.
BILI options chain highlights: open interest, volume and skew
The live BILI options chain shows a put/call open-interest ratio of 0.38 (bullish-leaning (more calls)), with at-the-money implied volatility near 50%. Open interest clusters at the $18 call — a common resistance "wall" — and the $15 put, a support "wall": the strikes option writers are most exposed to into expiration.

Liquidity and tradeability
BILI options are thinly traded, with wide bid-ask spreads around 24.8% near the money that eat into any edge — favour simple single-leg or tight defined-risk trades, and always use limit orders.
Earnings & IV crush
BILI's next earnings report is due around November 12, 2026. Options that expire after it price in a binary move, so their implied volatility is elevated and usually collapses right after the announcement — an "IV crush". If your expiration falls before this date, the trade sidesteps the event.
