The NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF, BTCI, drew a fresh wave of capital on January 21, 2026, with investors adding $10,354,807 in net inflows to the fund. With assets under management now standing at $1,105,713,304, the latest subscription represents roughly 0.94% of total AUM—an increment substantial enough to signal renewed conviction, but not yet a wholesale repositioning.
The move comes as the underlying asset, BTC-USD, trades around $89,911.24, having shed nearly 17% over the past three months. Technically, the picture remains bearish, with a prevailing one-day signal of Strong Sell, underscoring the tension between price momentum and income-focused investor appetite.
BTCI’s latest inflow suggests that some market participants are willing to look past near-term price weakness in Bitcoin and instead lean into the ETF’s high-income strategy—often built on options overlay and yield generation—rather than pure price appreciation. A sub-1% AUM shift in a single session is notable in a choppy market, hinting that allocators may be using volatility in Bitcoin to accumulate exposure via a structured, income-oriented vehicle instead of taking direct spot positions.
