VanEck Bitcoin Trust Shs of Benef Interest’s HODL ETF ended 2025 with a fresh wave of inflows, drawing $4,977,460 on December 31, 2025. The move nudged the fund’s assets under management to $1,398,044,078, with the latest flow representing roughly 0.36% of its total AUM—modest in percentage terms, but notable given the recent pressure on Bitcoin prices.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $89,390.02, down about 27.25% over the past three months. Despite that sharp drawdown, short‑term indicators are turning more constructive, with a 1‑day technical signal flashing Buy. That combination of longer‑term weakness and near‑term technical improvement may be encouraging opportunistic dip‑buyers to re‑enter through HODL.
The fact that fresh capital is flowing into the ETF while its underlying asset remains well below recent highs suggests that some investors see the late‑year slump as a consolidation phase rather than the start of a prolonged bear market. Still, with less than 0.5% of AUM moving on the latest flow, the positioning shift looks cautious rather than outright euphoric, underscoring a market still balancing macro uncertainty with a resilient appetite for Bitcoin exposure.
