The NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF, BTCI, attracted a fresh wave of capital on January 23, 2026, pulling in $23.34 million in net inflows. The move lifts the fund’s assets under management to approximately $1.12 billion, with the latest flow representing about 2.1% of its total AUM — a significant one-day vote of confidence for a product designed to squeeze income out of a notoriously volatile asset class.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $87,605.50, having retreated roughly 22.5% over the past three months. Despite that drawdown, shorter-term signals remain cautious: the 1-day technical rating sits at Sell, reflecting ongoing pressure on spot Bitcoin prices even as some investors look to structured strategies to cushion the ride.
The divergence between BTCI’s strong inflows and Bitcoin’s weak recent performance underscores a growing preference among sophisticated investors for income-oriented and options-based exposure rather than outright directional bets. With more than a billion dollars now parked in the fund, BTCI appears to be positioning itself as a vehicle for those who still believe in Bitcoin’s long-term narrative but want to monetize volatility and mitigate downside along the way.
