VanEck Bitcoin Trust Shs of Benef Interest’s ETF, HODL, recorded fresh inflows of $6,352,300 on January 22, 2026, even as Bitcoin continues to trade well below recent highs. The new money represents roughly 0.45% of the fund’s latest reported assets under management, which stand at $1.42 billion, signaling that a meaningful cohort of investors is still adding exposure despite recent price pressure in the underlying crypto asset.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $87,605.50, down about 22.5% over the past three months. Technically, the short-term picture remains fragile, with the 1-day signal flashing Sell, underscoring ongoing downside momentum and cautious trading conditions.
The divergence between HODL’s inflows and Bitcoin’s weak technical backdrop suggests that ETF investors may be positioning for a medium- to long-term rebound, using the drawdown as an entry point rather than an exit signal. With nearly half a percent of AUM added in a single day, the move hints at conviction buying rather than passive drift, even as traders watching the spot market confront bearish charts and heightened volatility.
