The ProShares Ultra Bitcoin ETF, BITU, attracted fresh capital on December 17, 2025, with latest fund flows of $3,654,118 entering the vehicle. While modest in relative terms—equivalent to about 0.52% of its $708.6 million in assets under management—the move signals renewed interest in leveraged exposure to Bitcoin at a time when sentiment on the underlying token remains fragile.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $87,246. Over the past three months, Bitcoin has shed roughly 25.7% of its value, underscoring the volatility facing investors who are layering leverage on top of an already turbulent market. Short-term indicators echo this caution, with the 1-day technical signal flashing a decisive Sell.
Against that backdrop, BITU’s net inflow looks less like broad-based optimism and more like a targeted wager: some investors appear willing to lean into recent weakness, either positioning for a rebound or using the ETF as a tactical tool for short-term trading strategies. The scale of the flow relative to AUM is meaningful enough to suggest fresh risk-taking, but not so large as to indicate a wholesale shift in market positioning.
