The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, FBTC, saw a sharp bout of outflows on December 19, 2025, with investors pulling $170.3 million from the spot Bitcoin ETF. The redemption wave, while less than 1% of assets, still represents a meaningful 0.99% of the fund’s latest assets under management, which stand at $17.21 billion.
The outflow underscores growing investor unease after a rough quarter for the underlying asset, Bitcoin. The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $88,918.88, having shed about 23.21% over the past three months. Short-term momentum looks fragile as well, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Sell, reinforcing the sense that traders are trimming risk rather than buying the dip.
Still, given FBTC’s scale, the latest move looks more like a notable sentiment shift than a structural run for the doors: nearly 99% of capital remains in place, suggesting long-term holders are staying put while tactical accounts react to price volatility and negative technicals. If Bitcoin stabilizes or reverses its recent slide, the same fast-money cohort could just as quickly return, turning outflows back into inflows.
