VanEck Bitcoin Trust Shs of Benef Interest’s HODL recorded outflows of $5.10 million on May 08, 2026, a modest but notable pullback for one of the larger spot Bitcoin funds. With assets under management at roughly $1.33 billion, the latest redemption represents about 0.38% of AUM, suggesting investors are trimming exposure rather than staging a wholesale exit.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading near $80,971.02 after gaining almost 20% over the past three months, a rally that leaves some short-term holders looking to lock in profits. Despite the ETF outflows, Bitcoin’s one-day technical signal remains a bullish Buy, underscoring an uptrend that appears intact even as ETF flows turn more cautious at the margin.
