Bitcoin ETFs Pull In $2.8 Billion as Six-Day Buying Streak Holds

By Isaac • September 25, 2026 7:38 am • Comments

US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have now pulled in more than $2.8 billion across six consecutive trading sessions, extending an institutional buying streak even as the latest daily total cooled sharply from Monday’s surge.

The funds collected approximately $191 million on Thursday. That was the third straight decline in the daily intake and an 81% drop from Monday’s $999 million haul, but it still kept the broader streak firmly positive.

The result is a useful reminder that a slower day is not the same thing as an outflow. Investors added fresh money for a sixth consecutive session while Bitcoin consolidated below the week’s high.

Cointelegraph reports that BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, or IBIT, accounted for about $163 million of Thursday’s total. The fund has attracted roughly $1.35 billion during the six-session run, representing nearly half of the combined inflows across US spot Bitcoin ETFs.

The six-day run began with a $999 million intake on Monday, the strongest daily inflow of 2026. Daily buying then slowed for three consecutive sessions as Bitcoin pulled back from above $87,000.

Even after that slowdown, the streak pushed the funds’ year-to-date net flow back to roughly $787 million. That erased a deficit of about $5.5 billion that was still on the books at the end of June.

September has now delivered about $2.56 billion in net inflows after another $3.52 billion arrived in August. Bitcoin was near $83,807 when the report was published, down slightly on the day but about 8% higher over seven days.

Farside Investors’ fund-by-fund tally put Thursday’s total at $190.7 million. Fidelity’s FBTC added $12.9 million, Bitwise’s BITB added $4.1 million, Franklin’s EZBC added $4.9 million and Grayscale’s mini Bitcoin trust added $10.2 million.

WisdomTree’s BTCW recorded a $4 million outflow, while several funds were flat.

That distribution shows why the headline total deserves a second look. Thursday was not a broad rush into every product.

It was a positive session led overwhelmingly by the market’s largest fund.

The more consequential development is what the streak has done to the longer-term ledger. According to Cointelegraph’s summary of SoSoValue data, the latest inflows lifted the funds’ 2026 net total to approximately $787 million.

That is a major reversal from the roughly $5.5 billion deficit recorded at the end of June.

September has contributed about $2.56 billion so far after the funds attracted $3.52 billion in August. The renewed demand has arrived while Bitcoin recovered from a difficult first half and recently traded back above $87,000 before easing.

HODL15Capital estimated that the ETFs acquired about 34,500 Bitcoin during the six-day stretch. That is a substantial amount of Bitcoin moving into regulated investment vehicles in less than a week.

Bitcoin traded near $83,807 when Cointelegraph published its report, down slightly over 24 hours but still about 8% higher across seven days.

A cooling price and smaller daily ETF intake after Monday’s near-billion-dollar burst are not surprising. Neither trend should be ignored if it continues.

The key question is whether demand settles into a durable positive pace or drops back toward sustained outflows. One or two slower sessions would be normal after an unusually large opening to the week.

A break in the streak accompanied by heavier selling would tell a different story.

For now, the signal remains constructive. Thursday’s $191 million was smaller, concentrated and less dramatic than Monday’s total, but it was still fresh demand.

Six straight positive sessions and more than $2.8 billion of combined inflows show that institutional buyers have remained engaged even as Bitcoin pauses.
