Bitcoin ETFs record $1 billion weekly outflow

US spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced their largest weekly outflow in five months, shedding $1 billion and ending a six-week streak of inflows. The reversal comes as hotter inflation data prompted investors to reassess risk exposure.

US-listed Bitcoin ETFs lost roughly 14,000 BTC over the seven days through May 16, according to data from SoSoValue and CryptoSlate. The net withdrawal reversed approximately $3.4 billion in prior inflows and coincided with a 3 percent drop in Bitcoin's price to $78,074.

Bitcoin climbed above $82,000 on May 6, driven by reports of easing tensions between the United States and Iran. Oil prices fell sharply as President Donald Trump paused a military operation in the Strait of Hormuz. The move triggered more than $200 million in short liquidations.

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds saw $635.2 million in outflows on May 14, the largest daily total since January. The move coincided with Bitcoin falling back below $80,000.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded net inflows for a sixth consecutive week. The funds have attracted a combined 3.4 billion dollars since April 2.

BlackRock’s digital assets ETFs, managing nearly $60.7 billion in assets, produced $42 million in fees during the first quarter of 2026. This figure represented 1.75% of the firm’s total ETF fees, despite comprising just 1.11% of ETF assets under management. The revenue highlights crypto’s higher fee rates but also its vulnerability to market swings.

Bitcoin surged above $80,000 for the first time since January during early Asian trading on May 4, 2026, reaching highs around $80,600. The cryptocurrency later pulled back to around $79,000 following reports of an Iranian missile strike on a U.S. warship, which the U.S. denied. Geopolitical risks near the Strait of Hormuz overshadowed strong ETF inflows supporting the rally.
