The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, ticker FBTC, saw net outflows of $17.17 million on December 26, 2025, a modest but notable pullback for one of the largest spot bitcoin exchange-traded products. The redemption represents roughly 0.10% of the fund’s latest assets under management, which stand at $17.71 billion, suggesting a bout of profit-taking or short-term risk reduction rather than a wholesale investor exodus.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $87,952.01. Despite the lofty price level, bitcoin has dropped about 23.43% over the past three months, underscoring the volatility that continues to shadow the digital asset even as it becomes more embedded in mainstream portfolios. Short-term traders appear cautious as well, with the one-day technical outlook sitting at a muted Hold, signaling an absence of strong directional conviction.
The combination of a sharp three-month price slide and only marginal ETF outflows indicates that many FBTC holders may still be treating the product as a longer-horizon vehicle, riding out drawdowns rather than capitulating. However, the latest withdrawal shows sensitivity to bitcoin’s downside momentum and could foreshadow larger redemptions if weakness accelerates or macro risk appetite deteriorates.
