BlackRock ETF clients sell $403M worth of Bitcoin

Investors in BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) withdrew $403M-$405M in Bitcoin in one day, the largest redemption since June 26, 2026. The outflows were client-driven, not a decision by BlackRock. Across all US spot Bitcoin ETFs, net outflows totaled $398.6M, with Fidelity's FBTC recording a $6.7M inflow. IBIT's outflows extended a five-day streak exceeding $1B, coinciding with a tech stock selloff. Bitcoin's price remained between $76,000 and $80,000.
