Bitcoin ETFs End Record 13-Day $4.4B Outflow Run With $3M Inflow

Bitcoin ETFs post $3.05 million inflow to end 13-session outflow run

U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded a net inflow of $3.05 million on June 4, 2026. The inflow ended 13 consecutive sessions of outflows that began May 15 — the longest such streak since U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs launched in January 2024. The run drained approximately $4.4 billion from the complex and pushed 2026 year-to-date ETF flows into negative territory for the first time since the funds launched. The net inflow on June 4 was smaller than any single session of withdrawals during the 13-day run.

IBIT absorbed $3.3 billion, 75 percent of the total 13-day outflows

The positive flow on June 4 came almost entirely from BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which took in $47.66 million. Fidelity's FBTC, Bitwise's BITB, and Ark's ARKB all continued to record net outflows on the same session. Over the full streak, IBIT bore approximately $3.3 billion in withdrawals — about 75 percent of the total. Fidelity's FBTC recorded $456 million in net outflows over the period, and Grayscale's GBTC shed $303 million. The seven sessions from June 2 onward accounted for $3.4 billion of the total — the largest single-week outflow from U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs since the products launched.

Bitcoin trades 51 percent below its October 2025 all-time high

Bitcoin traded at $61,303 at the time of publication, down 51.5 percent from its all-time high of $126,173 recorded on October 6, 2025 (CoinPaprika, 05 June 2026). The 13-day outflow streak coincided with a period of broad institutional selling across crypto funds. Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor commented on the outflows on June 4:

"Capital markets are funding the AI buildout at historic scale: ~$400B over 6 months. Bitcoin ETFs have seen ~$4B of outflows since May 14, pressuring $BTC. This is a capital rotation, not a Bitcoin impairment. Volatility creates opportunity.", 04 June 2026. — Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman, Strategy

Three major funds continued outflows on the day the streak ended

Fidelity's FBTC, Bitwise's BITB, and Ark's ARKB all recorded net outflows on June 4 as IBIT's inflow provided the sole positive contribution. The net $3.05 million positive represented less than 0.1 percent of the $4.4 billion that left the complex during the streak. The previous record was eight consecutive outflow days in February 2025, according to Cointelegraph data. The May–June 2026 streak extended that prior record by five sessions.
