Grayscale’s Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC) saw a fresh wave of inflows on January 16, 2026, as investors added $6.74 million to the fund, according to the latest figures. The move, while modest relative to the vehicle’s size, nudged assets under management to roughly $4.34 billion, with the latest flow representing about 0.16% of total AUM. The ETF, trading under the ticker BTC, continues to attract capital even as bitcoin prices retreat from recent highs.
The renewed interest in the trust contrasts with the recent performance of its underlying asset, the related cryptocurrency pair BTC-USD. Bitcoin was last changing hands at $89,911.24, leaving it down roughly 17% over the past three months as profit-taking and macro uncertainty have weighed on the broader digital-asset complex. Short-term momentum appears weak as well, with the 1-day technical outlook flashing a Strong Sell signal.
For now, the latest flows into the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust suggest a segment of investors is willing to look through near-term technical pressure and use recent weakness as an entry point. Whether this proves to be an early bet on a longer-term recovery or merely a pause in a deeper correction will likely hinge on how bitcoin responds to mounting macro headwinds and shifting risk appetite in the months ahead.
