The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC), trading under the ticker BTC, recorded a sharp outflow of $37.21 million on January 30, 2026, as investors continued to reassess their exposure to the flagship cryptocurrency. The one-day redemption represents about 0.92% of the fund’s latest reported assets under management, which stand at roughly $4.05 billion, marking a meaningful but not yet destabilizing hit to the product’s asset base.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $78,975.06, having shed 23.67% over the past three months. That drawdown underscores how sentiment has deteriorated since bitcoin’s previous peaks, with shorter-term traders increasingly sensitive to macro risk and regulatory headlines. The coin’s 1-day technical signal sits firmly in bearish territory, flashing a linked recommendation of Sell.
The combination of sizeable outflows from BTC and a weakening technical backdrop for bitcoin suggests that institutional and sophisticated retail investors may be trimming risk rather than adding on recent dips. Still, with more than $4 billion in AUM, the trust remains a major vehicle for listed bitcoin exposure, and flows in coming sessions will be closely watched as a gauge of whether this is the start of a deeper rotation out of crypto or a short-term bout of profit-taking and risk management.
