According to data gathered by Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart, on Wednesday, the 10 spot bitcoin ETFs (including GBTC) recorded a net outflow of $158 million. It’s important to note that daily flows can vary significantly. Figures compiled by CoinDesk from the issuers’ websites indicate that the total bitcoin held by all spot ETFs (including GBTC) as of Jan. 24 was approximately 649,000, down from over 660,000 the previous week, marking a decline of around 11,000 tokens. The only fund experiencing negative flows over the week was GBTC, with its total bitcoin in trust decreasing from 592,098 to 523,516.
