The NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF, ticker BTCI, attracted fresh capital inflows of $6,489,015 on January 27, 2026, even as its underlying asset continues to struggle. The latest flow, equivalent to roughly 0.59% of the fund’s $1.10 billion in assets under management (AUM), signals that investors remain interested in yield-focused crypto strategies despite recent market volatility.
With AUM now at $1,103,132,550, the inflow is notable less for its absolute size than for its timing. Bitcoin-linked products have faced pressure as prices retreat from record highs, yet the steady buying into BTCI suggests that some investors view options-writing and income-oriented Bitcoin ETFs as a way to stay exposed to the asset class while cushioning downside.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $87,739.53, down about 20.6% over the past three months. Technically, the short-term picture remains negative, with a 1-day signal flashing Strong Sell. That disconnect—ongoing weakness in spot Bitcoin versus fresh inflows into BTCI—underscores how some market participants are prioritizing structured income and volatility harvesting over straightforward price appreciation.
For now, BTCI’s continued asset growth suggests that, for a segment of investors, the search for yield in the crypto space is outweighing concerns about near-term price pressure in Bitcoin itself.
