The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, FBTC, logged outflows of $49.07 million on February 19, 2026, as investors pulled cash amid renewed volatility in digital assets. The move shaved roughly 0.39% off the fund’s $12.52 billion in assets under management, a modest but notable reversal for one of the most closely watched spot Bitcoin ETFs.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $66,381.63, down about 23.6% over the past three months as enthusiasm for the latest rally has cooled. Short-term momentum remains fragile, with the one-day technical signal flashing Sell, hinting that some institutional holders may still be in de-risking mode.
While Tuesday’s redemptions represent a small slice of FBTC’s overall asset base, they underscore how quickly sentiment can shift in a market dominated by macro uncertainty and changing expectations for central bank policy. If Bitcoin fails to regain upward traction, more ETF investors could opt to lock in profits or limit losses, adding further pressure to both fund flows and spot prices.
