BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) pulled in $287.4 million in inflows on Friday, marking its largest single-day intake since Oct. 8, 2024, according to Farside Investors data. Across the U.S. spot bitcoin ETF complex, net inflows totaled $471.3 million on the day.
The move helped offset earlier redemptions and pushed weekly net inflows to $459 million. In the report, Apollo Crypto partner Pratik Kala pointed to early-year portfolio rebalancing after bitcoin’s weaker performance in Q4 2025, and said Q4 tax-loss harvesting gave way to a more constructive positioning bias in Q1 2026. The buying was not limited to IBIT: Fidelity’s FBTC added $88.1 million, Bitwise’s BITB brought in $41.5 million, and Grayscale’s GBTC posted $15.4 million in inflows.
The next watch item is whether that demand holds. The write-up tied the renewed flows to a higher-volatility backdrop linked to geopolitical tension following the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, with bitcoin trading around $92,670, up about 1.4% over 24 hours.
