The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, ticker FBTC, absorbed a fresh $88.1 million in net inflows on January 5, 2026, underscoring continued institutional appetite for bitcoin exposure despite recent price weakness. The single-day haul represents roughly 0.48% of the fund’s latest assets under management, which stand at about $18.2 billion.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $91,567.26, down about 23.6% over the past three months, a drawdown that has shaken some retail sentiment but appears not to have deterred larger allocators. Short-term momentum is more constructive: the one-day technical signal screens as a Buy, suggesting traders see scope for a near-term rebound after the recent correction.
FBTC’s latest flow highlights a familiar pattern in crypto markets: institutional and ETF investors often use price dips to scale into positions, effectively smoothing volatility over longer horizons. With nearly half a percent of the fund’s AUM turning over in a single session, the move points to active portfolio rebalancing and continued confidence in bitcoin’s long-term role as a speculative macro asset, even as the spot market wrestles with higher rates and risk-off episodes.
