The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, ticker FBTC, closed out the year with a strong show of investor confidence, pulling in $78.59 million of net inflows on December 31, 2025. The move lifted sentiment around the spot Bitcoin ETF even as its underlying asset remains under pressure. FBTC now manages $17.81 billion in assets under management (AUM), with the latest daily flow representing roughly 0.44% of its total capital base.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $89,390.02, having shed about 27.25% over the past three months, a sharp retracement that underscores the volatility investors are willing to look through. Despite the recent price slump, short‑term indicators are flashing a constructive tone, with a 1‑day technical signal of Buy, hinting that traders may be positioning for a rebound or at least a stabilization in the near term.
The divergence between price action and fund flows suggests that institutional and sophisticated retail investors using FBTC may be taking a longer view, treating recent weakness in Bitcoin as an opportunity to accumulate exposure at lower levels rather than a reason to pull back. With nearly half a percent of the fund’s AUM added in a single day, the year-end move reinforces the role of spot Bitcoin ETFs as a preferred gateway to the crypto market for traditional investors, even in the face of heightened drawdowns.
