The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, ticker FBTC, recorded a robust $351.36 million of net inflows on January 14, 2026, even as Bitcoin trades well below recent highs. The move lifts the spot Bitcoin ETF’s assets under management to $19.08 billion, with the latest flow representing roughly 1.84% of AUM—a sizeable single-day allocation shift for a mature product.
Such a strong intake, despite recent price pressure, suggests that institutional and sophisticated retail investors are using the pullback as a chance to accumulate exposure via regulated vehicles rather than exiting risk. It also underscores FBTC’s growing role as a preferred gateway for traditional investors seeking Bitcoin exposure without directly holding the underlying asset.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $95,571.98, down roughly 11.9% over the past three months. The correction has tempered some of the more speculative fervor that marked earlier rallies, but it has not extinguished demand: short-term technical indicators now flash a Buy signal, hinting that momentum traders and dip buyers are returning.
The combination of negative three-month performance, a bullish near-term technical setup, and substantial ETF inflows points to a market where long-term conviction is clashing with near-term volatility. For now, FBTC’s latest haul shows that, for many allocators, Bitcoin’s recent weakness looks more like an entry point than an exit cue.
