The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF Trust, ticker BITB, attracted fresh inflows of $10.6 million on January 15, 2026, in a vote of confidence for spot bitcoin exposure despite recent weakness in the underlying asset. The latest flow represents roughly 0.27% of the fund’s $3.88 billion in assets under management (AUM), a modest but notable addition that underscores steady demand from investors looking to buy into the dip.
The Bitwise vehicle now sits among the larger bitcoin-focused ETFs, and the latest inflow suggests that institutional and retail allocators remain willing to add exposure even as bitcoin struggles to regain its previous highs. A flow of this size won’t dramatically alter the fund’s risk profile, but it does signal resilience in sentiment at a time when many crypto‑linked products have seen more volatile subscription patterns.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $95,249.92, down about 11.24% over the past three months. Despite that medium‑term drawdown, near‑term trading signals have tilted more constructive, with a 1‑day technical outlook flashing Buy. That split picture — short‑term bullish, medium‑term negative — helps explain why ETF flows are still positive: some investors appear to view the recent pullback as an entry point rather than a warning sign.
