IShares Bitcoin Trust Registered’s IBIT fund recorded net outflows of $157.6 million on February 13, 2026, a notable pullback for one of the market’s flagship spot Bitcoin products. The redemption represents roughly 0.32% of its latest assets under management, which still stand at a hefty $49.9 billion, underscoring IBIT’s scale despite the setback.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $68,087.76, extending a rough patch that has left the coin down about 24.6% over the past three months. Short-term momentum looks shaky as well, with a 1-day technical reading flashing a bearish Strong Sell signal that appears to validate the latest bout of ETF redemptions.
Taken together, the flows hint at a cautious turn among institutional and retail holders who had previously piled into spot Bitcoin ETFs as a proxy for direct exposure. Yet with nearly $50 billion still parked in the vehicle, IBIT remains a central channel for crypto allocation decisions and a key barometer of sentiment toward digital assets in traditional portfolios.
