The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF Trust, trading under the ticker BITB, recorded net outflows of $13.32 million on December 26, 2025, a modest but notable withdrawal that represents about 0.40% of its latest reported assets under management of roughly $3.37 billion. While the move is small relative to the fund’s overall size, it underscores investors’ caution as bitcoin prices continue to struggle after a sharp three‑month slide.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $87,865.50, having fallen about 23.18% over the past three months. Despite that drawdown, the short‑term technical picture remains indecisive, with a 1‑day signal of Hold, suggesting that traders are waiting for clearer direction rather than positioning aggressively for either a rebound or further declines.
The latest outflow from BITB fits a broader pattern of profit-taking and risk trimming that has emerged as momentum in bitcoin cools. With only a fraction of the ETF’s AUM affected so far, the flows look more like tactical reallocations than a wholesale exit. Still, if price weakness in BTC-USD persists or volatility spikes, ETF flows could become a more sensitive barometer of institutional sentiment toward digital assets.
