ProShares Short Bitcoin Strategy ETF, ticker BITI, saw fresh capital move into its bearish Bitcoin product on January 29, 2026, with $1,131,595 in new inflows. The move lifts the fund’s assets under management to $126,881,156, with the latest flow representing roughly 0.89% of AUM—a meaningful single-day vote of confidence in downside positioning.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $78,342.01, having shed about 29.01% over the past three months. Despite that steep drawdown, the 1-day technical setup continues to flash caution, with a short-term signal of Sell, underscoring persistent bearish momentum in the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
The latest inflows into BITI suggest that some traders are either extending hedges or positioning for further weakness, even after a sizable correction in Bitcoin’s price. For risk-averse investors, BITI’s growing AUM highlights continuing demand for tools that can offset crypto volatility without directly shorting the underlying token.
