The Bitwise Bitcoin Strategy Optimum Roll ETF, BITC, attracted fresh inflows of $907,400 on February 25, 2026, even as bitcoin’s price slide deepened. The move lifts the ETF’s assets under management to $15.43 million, with the latest flow equal to roughly 5.9% of AUM, a sizeable one-day vote of confidence in a bruised market.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $63,623.79 after a sharp three-month decline of about 27.45%. Despite that drawdown, short-term trading models still flag the coin with a 1-day technical signal of Strong Sell, underscoring ongoing downside momentum.
BITC’s inflow suggests some investors are using the ETF wrapper to average into weakness, leaning on the fund’s futures-based “optimum roll” strategy to navigate volatility. With flows moving one way and technicals the other, positioning in bitcoin-linked ETFs could prove a key tell for whether this correction is seen as a buying opportunity or the start of a longer retrenchment.
