US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded approximately $257.7 million in net inflows on February 25, reversing a recent streak of redemptions as Bitcoin stabilized near $65,000. The daily inflows were the strongest since early February and helped offset the prior session’s outflows, returning weekly flows to positive territory after several weeks of net withdrawals.
Issuer-level data showed strong participation from major asset managers, with Fidelity Investments and BlackRock leading the inflow totals. Despite the rebound, total assets under management across US spot Bitcoin ETFs have declined significantly in 2026, reflecting softer demand and broader risk-off positioning across digital asset markets.
Institutional positioning also remained a key factor in market dynamics. Analysts estimated that advisers and hedge funds sold roughly 25,000 BTC in the fourth quarter of 2025, a relatively small portion of Bitcoin’s overall market capitalization but indicative of portfolio rebalancing. The mixed signals suggest that while long-term allocations persist, macro uncertainty and underwater supply levels continue to shape institutional engagement with crypto exposure.
