The VanEck Bitcoin Trust Shs of Benef Interest ETF, HODL, recorded net outflows of $6.79 million on January 2, 2026, trimming a small slice off its sizeable $1.38 billion in assets under management (AUM). The latest redemption represents roughly 0.49% of AUM, signaling a cautious pullback rather than a wholesale exit as bitcoin struggles to regain its footing.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $89,769.99, down about 26.17% over the past three months. The 1-day technical outlook on the token is a muted Hold, underscoring a market caught between dip-buying enthusiasm and anxiety over further downside.
Against that backdrop, the latest outflow from HODL looks less like a panic move and more like tactical profit-taking or risk trimming after bitcoin’s earlier rally this cycle. With only about half a percent of AUM redeemed in the latest session, the ETF still reflects substantial institutional and retail conviction, but the data suggest investors are increasingly sensitive to short-term volatility and macro headlines that could sway digital-asset valuations.
