BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Sees $269M Inflows as US Spot Funds Hit 5-Week High

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust recorded $269.3 million in inflows on Thursday, marking its strongest single day performance in five weeks. The inflows helped reverse two consecutive days of net outflows across the 12 US spot Bitcoin ETFs, pushing total net inflows for the day to $358.1 million. The rebound signals renewed investor interest in Bitcoin exposure through regulated financial products.

Fidelity and Morgan Stanley Also See Positive Demand

Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund attracted $53.3 million in inflows, ranking second among competitors. Morgan Stanley’s newly launched Bitcoin Trust (MSBT) added $14.9 million on just its second trading day, contributing to overall market momentum. Smaller inflows were also recorded by Bitwise and ARK 21Shares, while Franklin Templeton and VanEck products collectively added around $2 million.

Institutional Interest Strengthens ETF Market Position

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF alone has now accumulated roughly $1.5 billion in net inflows year-to-date, even as Bitcoin prices have experienced volatility, falling from a 2026 high near $97,000 to around $72,100. Analysts note that inflows suggest long-term accumulation strategies from institutional investors rather than short-term trading behavior.

Combined ETF flows are now close to turning positive year-to-date, sitting just $80 million below earlier 2025 inflow levels. Market data indicates that sustained institutional participation continues to play a key role in stabilizing demand for Bitcoin-linked investment products.
