ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, ticker BITO, attracted $46.58 million in new money on January 30, 2026, even as Bitcoin’s downturn continues to weigh on sentiment. The inflow, equal to roughly 1.89% of the fund’s latest reported assets under management of $2.46 billion, signals that a meaningful cohort of investors is using recent weakness in the underlying crypto market to add exposure via the futures-based vehicle.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $78,975.06, down about 23.7% over the past three months as speculative excess has bled out of the market and macro uncertainty has dampened risk appetite. Short-term momentum remains fragile, with the 1-day technical signal flashing Sell, underscoring the tension between tactical traders reducing exposure and longer-term allocators stepping in via ETFs like BITO.
The combination of negative spot performance and positive fund flows highlights a classic divergence: while price action points to caution, ETF investors appear to be positioning for a potential rebound or treating the pullback as a rebalancing opportunity. With nearly 2% of BITO’s AUM turning over in a single session, the ETF is emerging once again as a key barometer of mainstream appetite for Bitcoin-linked risk.
