IShares Bitcoin Trust Registered’s IBIT posted outflows of $116.4 million on February 24, 2026, underscoring renewed investor caution toward spot Bitcoin exposure. The withdrawal represents about 0.24% of the fund’s $48.47 billion in assets under management, a modest slice in percentage terms but sizeable in absolute dollars.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $65,546 after a bruising three months in which it shed roughly 25.7% of its value. Short-term momentum remains negative, with the one-day technical signal flashing Strong Sell, a backdrop that likely contributed to IBIT’s latest redemptions.
While the flow equals less than a quarter of a percent of IBIT’s AUM, it may signal that some investors are locking in gains from earlier rallies or seeking shelter from mounting volatility. With Bitcoin sliding and technicals deteriorating, ETF holders appear increasingly sensitive to downside risk, even in vehicles that remain large and highly liquid.
