The NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF, BTCI, drew new investor cash even as its underlying crypto asset remains under pressure. On January 30, 2026, the fund registered net inflows of $7,074,227, lifting its assets under management to $1,068,208,277. The latest intake represents roughly 0.66% of AUM, a meaningful daily boost for an income-oriented vehicle tied to one of the market’s most volatile assets.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $78,975.06. Over the past three months, Bitcoin has retreated about 23.67%, a sharp drawdown that contrasts with the steady interest in BTCI’s covered-call and income strategy. Despite the negative trend, short-term trading indicators remain cautious: the one-day technical signal for Bitcoin flashes Sell, underscoring persistent downside risk in the spot market.
The divergence between BTCI’s inflows and Bitcoin’s recent price weakness suggests that investors may be using the ETF to monetize volatility and generate yield rather than making a straightforward directional bet on the cryptocurrency. With more than a billion dollars now parked in the strategy, allocators appear willing to tolerate near-term price pressure in Bitcoin in exchange for option premium and potential income.
