The VanEck Bitcoin Trust Shs of Benef Interest, ticker HODL, recorded net outflows of $8.05 million on December 26, 2025, a modest pullback that represents roughly 0.58% of its latest reported assets under management of about $1.39 billion. While small relative to the fund’s overall size, the move hints at growing caution among investors amid a choppy phase for bitcoin-linked products.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $87,865.50, having shed about 23.18% over the past three months. Despite that drawdown, short-term trading indicators remain mixed, with the 1-day technical signal sitting at Hold, suggesting neither a clear bullish nor bearish edge in the immediate term.
The combination of a sizable three-month price retreat in bitcoin and a relatively mild redemption from HODL suggests investors are trimming risk rather than abandoning exposure. Many ETF holders may be treating the recent volatility as part of the asset’s normal cycle, opting to stay put until stronger directional signals emerge from both macro data and regulatory developments in the digital-asset space.
