The Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF, BTCO, closed out 2025 with a notable wave of redemptions, logging approximately $10.4 million in outflows on December 30, 2025. The move shaved about 1.9% off the fund’s $544.3 million in assets under management (AUM), a meaningful but not yet destabilizing shift that underscores growing unease around Bitcoin’s recent price trajectory.
The latest outflow caps a period in which investors have become more tactical with their crypto exposure, trimming positions as volatility and macro uncertainty weigh on risk assets. For BTCO, the redemption size suggests institutional and sophisticated retail holders are rebalancing rather than staging a wholesale exit, but the timing—right at year-end—hints at both profit-taking from earlier gains in 2025 and tax-loss considerations after the recent drawdown.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $93,425.34, down roughly 25.3% over the past three months. That pullback has eroded a significant chunk of the year’s earlier rally and has pushed some leveraged and shorter-term investors to the sidelines. Despite the steep three-month decline, the 1-day technical picture remains cautious rather than outright bearish, with a Hold signal suggesting that momentum is stabilizing, at least in the very short term.
For BTCO holders, the combination of sustained price weakness in Bitcoin and only moderate day-to-day technical conviction reinforces a wait-and-see posture: long-term crypto believers may view the current levels as an opportunity to accumulate via regulated products, while more tactical allocators appear content to pare risk until there is clearer evidence of a trend reversal. How aggressively flows return to BTCO will likely hinge on whether Bitcoin can reclaim lost ground early in 2026.
