The NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF, BTCI, drew fresh inflows of $10.35 million on January 21, 2026, even as its underlying asset remains under pressure. With assets under management now at roughly $1.11 billion, the latest flow represents just under 1% (0.94%) of total AUM, a meaningful show of confidence in the fund’s covered-call, yield-focused strategy amid a volatile bitcoin backdrop.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $88,859.99, down about 18.9% over the past three months. Technically, the short-term picture remains bearish, with a 1-day signal of Strong Sell highlighting ongoing downside momentum and risk-off sentiment across the crypto complex.
Against that backdrop, the renewed demand for BTCI suggests some investors are looking past spot price weakness in favor of options-driven income and potential volatility harvesting. While the ETF’s performance remains tethered to bitcoin’s direction, its structure may appeal to allocators willing to endure near-term price pressure in exchange for enhanced yield and systematic premium capture.
