Overview of Bitcoin ETF Flows (as of February 19, 2026)
Bitcoin spot ETFs have experienced a notable shift in flows during February 2026, transitioning from sporadic inflows earlier in the month to consistent outflows amid broader market caution. This trend aligns with Bitcoin's price holding in a fragile range around $66,000–$67,000, influenced by macro headwinds like persistent high interest rates and reduced liquidity. Cumulative flows since the ETFs' inception in January 2024 remain strongly positive at approximately +$54.45 billion (equivalent to +680,850 BTC), representing about 6.3% of Bitcoin's market cap, but recent data signals institutional trimming rather than aggressive accumulation.
Total assets under management (AUM) across U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs stand at around $83.6–$93.96 billion, with subdued trading volumes reflecting low conviction. Regional divergence is evident: U.S. funds have seen $403 million in outflows this week, while European and Canadian counterparts attracted $230 million in inflows, highlighting U.S.-specific pressures from strong economic data and tighter financial conditions #bitcoin #ETFs $BTC
