Bitcoin ETFs Absorb $216.7M, Undoing A Single Session Of Outflows

U.S. spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds pulled in $216.7 million in net inflows on Aug. 31, reversing a single session of redemptions that ended a nine-day streak.

Key Points:

• U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $216.7 million in net inflows on Aug. 31, the first positive session after one day of redemptions.
• BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust supplied $205.9 million of the total, with smaller amounts from Fidelity, Bitwise and Grayscale.
• The funds have still drawn more money out than in across 2026, despite August's strong run.

Bitcoin ETF Inflows Rebound After Outflow

Fund-flow data published Sept. 1 showed the group of U.S. spot Bitcoin products absorbing $216.7 million during the prior trading day. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust supplied $205.9 million of that total, an addition of roughly 2,600 BTC to the fund's holdings. The week before had already carried about $924 million into the same set of products, according to figures compiled from issuer filings.

Fidelity's Wise Origin fund took in $6.9 million and Bitwise's BITB added $4.3 million, while Grayscale's Bitcoin Mini Trust drew $9.4 million. VanEck's HODL was the outlier. Several smaller products, including the Invesco, Franklin Templeton and WisdomTree funds, recorded no movement at all on the day. Cumulative net inflows across the category since its January 2024 debut now sit near $54.85 billion, a figure that dwarfs any single session.
