VanEck Bitcoin Trust Shs of Benef Interest’s HODL registered a fresh wave of demand on January 15, 2026, pulling in $8,275,890 in net inflows. The move lifted sentiment around the spot Bitcoin ETF even as crypto prices remain under pressure. With total assets under management now at roughly $1.52 billion, the latest flow represents about 0.54% of the fund’s AUM—modest in size, but notable given the recent drawdown in Bitcoin.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $92,938.01, leaving it down roughly 13.09% over the past three months as profit-taking and macro uncertainty have tempered the prior rally. Technically, shorter-term indicators continue to flash caution, with a 1-day signal screening as Sell, underscoring the disconnect between near-term price weakness and ongoing allocator interest in regulated Bitcoin vehicles.
The latest inflows into HODL suggest that some institutional and sophisticated retail investors may be using the pullback in Bitcoin as a chance to build or average into positions via an ETF wrapper, favoring custody and regulatory oversight over direct coin exposure. If these flows persist, they could help stabilize sentiment around Bitcoin even as technicals remain challenged and volatility stays elevated.
