The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF Trust saw a notable resurgence of investor interest as the BITB fund attracted $159.4 million in net inflows on January 14, 2026. The single-day influx represents roughly 4.17% of the ETF’s latest assets under management, which now stand at about $3.83 billion, underscoring how quickly capital is rotating back into spot bitcoin products even as the underlying asset remains under pressure.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $97,018.01, down about 13.45% over the past three months. Despite that retreat from recent highs, its 1-day technical signal sits at a cautious Hold, suggesting traders are neither capitulating nor chasing aggressively at current levels.
The sharp inflow into BITB against a backdrop of negative three-month performance for bitcoin hints at a classic “buy-the-dip” stance among more structurally bullish investors. For ETF buyers, the drawdown in spot prices may be viewed less as a warning sign and more as a strategic entry point into an instrument that offers regulated, exchange-traded exposure to bitcoin without the complexities of self-custody.
Still, the divergence between fresh ETF demand and a lagging spot price raises questions about how sustainable this renewed risk appetite will be if macro conditions tighten or crypto volatility returns. For now, though, BITB’s latest flows signal that institutional and sophisticated retail investors are using the ETF wrapper to build positions into bitcoin weakness rather than heading for the exits.
