The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, ticker FBTC, logged a fresh inflow of $7,865,529 on January 12, 2026, even as bitcoin trades well below recent highs. The move barely nudged the fund’s sizable asset base of $17.81 billion—representing roughly 0.04% of assets under management—but underscores a continued trickle of confidence from investors willing to add exposure on weakness.
While the flow is modest in percentage terms, it is notable given the backdrop: sentiment in crypto has been fragile, and many peers have seen more muted activity or outright redemptions. For a fund of FBTC’s scale, even small net inflows can signal that longer-term allocators are quietly averaging in rather than abandoning the trade.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $95,066, down about 15.4% over the past three months as the market digests a post-rally hangover and shifting macro expectations. Yet short-term signals are tentatively improving: the 1-day technical outlook stands at Buy, suggesting that near-term momentum and technical indicators are starting to tilt in favor of the bulls despite the broader corrective phase.
Against this backdrop, FBTC’s incremental inflows may reflect a classic “buy-the-dip” strategy among institutional and retail investors who view bitcoin’s recent drawdown as a cyclical setback rather than the end of the secular digital asset thesis.
