The ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, BITO, logged a fresh inflow of $5,470,875 on January 2, 2026, a modest but notable vote of confidence for listed bitcoin exposure. With assets under management now standing at roughly $2.20 billion, the latest subscription represents about 0.25% of the fund’s total AUM, suggesting investors are selectively adding risk rather than charging in en masse.
The renewed interest in BITO comes against a challenging backdrop for its underlying asset. The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $93,425.34, having dropped about 25.29% over the past three months. Despite that drawdown, short-term signals remain comparatively muted, with the 1-day technical stance flashing a cautious Hold rather than an outright bearish call.
For ETF investors, the combination of a sharp medium-term price correction in bitcoin and steady, if incremental, inflows into BITO underscores a familiar dynamic: rather than capitulating after the pullback, some market participants are using listed products as a way to average into exposure while liquidity and price discovery remain robust. If flows continue to edge higher, it could indicate that institutional and retail allocators see recent weakness more as an opportunity than a structural reversal in the crypto narrative.
