The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF Trust, ticker BITB, recorded net outflows of $11.54 million on December 19, 2025, as investors trimmed exposure to the weakening crypto market. With assets under management now standing at roughly $3.32 billion, the latest redemptions represent about 0.35% of the fund’s total AUM—modest in scale but notable against a backdrop of sustained bitcoin price pressure.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $88,918.88, having shed roughly 23.2% over the past three months. The 1-day technical outlook for bitcoin has tilted defensively, with a prevailing Sell signal reflecting ongoing downside momentum and fragile sentiment among short-term traders.
While the outflow is far from a run on the fund, it underscores a shift from the aggressive inflows seen during bitcoin’s previous rallies. Some institutional and retail holders appear to be locking in earlier gains or de-risking as volatility picks up and technical indicators flash caution. Others may view the pullback as a staging point for future accumulation, but for now, the flow data suggests investors are treading carefully around spot bitcoin exposure via ETFs.
