The Bitwise Bitcoin Strategy Optimum Roll ETF, BITC, drew roughly $907,400 of net inflows on February 25, 2026, even as its underlying asset struggles. The new money lifts total assets under management to about $15.4 million, with the latest flow equal to nearly 5.9% of the fund’s AUM, a sizable vote of confidence during a volatile stretch.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading near $66,498.61 after a bruising three months in which it has shed about 23.8%. Short-term momentum remains negative, with a 1-day technical reading flashing Strong Sell, underscoring the contrarian nature of the latest ETF inflows.
BITC’s fresh capital suggests some investors may be using the recent drawdown to scale into futures-based Bitcoin exposure rather than abandoning the trade. With flows rising even as spot prices weaken, the ETF could be positioning for a snapback if sentiment improves, but it also leaves newcomers highly exposed should the current downtrend deepen further.
