U.S. Bitcoin Funds See $185.4 Million in Outflows on Nov. 13
Key Facts
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded net outflows of $185.4 million on Nov. 13, 2026, according to Farside Investors’ table. Most of the total came from BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, known by the ticker IBIT, which lost $143.5 million. FBTC recorded outflows of $41.9 million in the same session.
Data for the previous session, on Nov. 12, show that IBIT recorded outflows of $203.8 million, compared with $32.6 million from FBTC. BITB saw outflows of $26.4 million and ARKB $18.5 million that day. By contrast, MSBT recorded an inflow of $3.3 million. Net outflows across all funds totaled $284.1 million on Nov. 12, according to Farside’s table. Net outflows on Nov. 13 were therefore below the previous session’s level, while IBIT remained the largest source of outflows on both days.
According to BlackRock’s page, IBIT’s net assets stood at about $54,133,940,679 on Nov. 13. The fund’s daily net asset value per share fell by $1.43, or 3.54%, on the same date. The fund aims to reflect Bitcoin’s price performance through an exchange-traded product and launched on Jan. 5, 2024. Its stated sponsor fee is 0.25%, according to BlackRock data. These figures put the fund’s size and daily value change in the context of the withdrawal streak, without, on their own, identifying investors’ motives or the reasons for the flows.
The date of the flow data coincided with a decline in Bitcoin during Asian trading on Nov. 13; the price fell 7% over 24 hours to $68,408 at 12:10 a.m. Eastern Time, its lowest level since Aug. 20, according to The Block. The report said cryptocurrency position liquidations totaled $1.47 billion over 24 hours, including $1.31 billion in long positions. Rick Maeda, head of markets at Laevitas, said Bitcoin had lost the $72,000 level during the U.S. session, then a break below $70,000 in Asia quickly flushed out accumulated long positions. He added that liquidations exceeded $600 million in four hours and $1.3 billion in a day. These figures show market moves and liquidations over the same period, while Farside’s data tracks fund flows separately.
At the Nov. 13 close, Bitcoin was priced at $68,314, while BlackRock shares closed at $1,222.91, according to EL7 data. The two closing prices provide a snapshot of the day on which the funds recorded net outflows, without establishing a causal relationship between price movements and flows. IBIT was created to provide exchange-traded exposure to Bitcoin’s performance, while daily flow data remained spread across different funds, with most of the Nov. 13 outflows concentrated in IBIT. The figures alone do not explain investors’ decisions or their rationale.
The next announced meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee is scheduled to take place over two days on Dec. 8 and 9, 2026, with a press conference on Dec. 9, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve. The meeting comes after the flow data recorded on Nov. 13, but those data do not establish whether the meeting will affect flows or digital asset prices. The latest figures in this story remain the funds’ net outflows on Nov. 13 and their distribution between IBIT and FBTC. Data for the previous session also show continued outflows, although the net total was higher on Nov. 12. The December meeting is the next announced milestone on the committee’s schedule.
