The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC), trading under the ticker BTC, drew fresh investor interest on January 16, 2026, with a new inflow of $6,739,200. The move nudged higher its assets under management to roughly $4.62 billion, with the latest flow representing about 0.15% of total AUM—modest in percentage terms, but notable given the recent weakness in the underlying crypto asset.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $95,188.23, down about 11.0% over the past three months as bitcoin has retreated from its record highs and volatility has resurfaced across the digital asset complex. Yet short-term signals are turning more constructive: the 1-day technical outlook flashes a Buy, suggesting momentum traders see scope for a rebound or at least a near-term floor.
The combination of negative three-month performance and positive daily technicals helps explain the latest flow into the trust. For some investors, the recent pullback is being treated as an opportunity to add exposure via a regulated vehicle rather than a reason to abandon the trade. While the single-day inflow is unlikely to move the needle on its own, it does hint that a cohort of institutional and sophisticated retail investors remains willing to lean into bitcoin weakness rather than capitulate.
