BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Sees $231.6M Inflows After Volatile Week

BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), recorded $231.6 million in inflows on Friday after two days of heavy withdrawals that capped a turbulent week for Bitcoin. Farside data show IBIT experienced $548.7 million in total outflows on Wednesday and Thursday.

Preliminary Farside figures also show inflows across nine US-based spot Bitcoin ETF products totaling $330.7 million, following three days of collective outflows of $1.25 billion. So far in 2026 IBIT has posted just 11 trading days of net inflows, and holders closely watch ETF flows for signals about price direction and investor interest.

Bitcoin traded at $69,820 at the time of publication, after a 24.30% decline over the past 30 days and a brief drop to $60,000 on Thursday. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said IBIT “crushed its daily volume record” on Thursday with $10 billion of shares traded, and that the fund fell 13% that day — its second-worst daily drop since launch, after a 15% fall on May 8, 2024.
