The NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF, ticker BTCI, attracted a fresh $23.34 million in net inflows on January 23, 2026, even as underlying Bitcoin prices remain under pressure. The latest flow, equivalent to roughly 2.09% of the fund’s $1.12 billion in assets under management, underscores persistent demand for yield-oriented crypto exposure despite a choppy market backdrop.
BTCI, which seeks to pair Bitcoin exposure with an income overlay, has steadily rebuilt its asset base and now appears to be benefiting from investors looking to monetize volatility rather than chase price appreciation alone. A single-day flow of this size is material relative to its AUM, signaling that institutional and sophisticated retail accounts may be leaning into covered-call or income strategies as straightforward long-Bitcoin trades lose some shine.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $89,437, down approximately 21.52% over the past three months. Technically, the short-term picture remains weak, with a 1-day signal flashing Sell. That disconnect—fresh ETF inflows against a negative technical backdrop—suggests investors are positioning for elevated volatility and potential income rather than a near-term price rebound.
