The VanEck Bitcoin Trust Shs of Benef Interest, traded under the ticker HODL, registered fresh net inflows of $8,275,890 on January 15, 2026, even as the underlying crypto asset remains under pressure. The latest flow represents roughly 0.54% of the fund’s $1.52 billion in assets under management (AUM), signaling that investors are selectively adding exposure despite heightened volatility in the Bitcoin market.
This latest injection of capital comes at a moment when sentiment toward Bitcoin has turned notably cautious. The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $90,933.51, having fallen about 16.24% over the past three months. Short-term technicals are aligned with that weakness, with a 1-day signal of Sell, underscoring near-term downside momentum.
Yet the positive flows into HODL hint that longer-horizon investors may be treating the drawdown as a strategic entry point into Bitcoin via a regulated, exchange-traded wrapper. With over half a percent of AUM added in a single day, the ETF’s latest activity illustrates a familiar pattern in the digital-asset space: price pullbacks can coincide with renewed institutional and retail interest, especially among those viewing Bitcoin as a long-term store of value rather than a short-term trade.
