Grayscale Bitcoin Trust Faces Continued Withdrawals as ETF Inflows Rise

Grayscale Investments’ Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) is still experiencing investor withdrawals, with an additional $20.8 million pulled out on Monday, as reported by Farside Investors.

Since converting to an exchange-traded fund (ETF) in January, the total net outflows have exceeded $20 billion.

Although the withdrawal rate has slowed, the first $10 billion was withdrawn within the initial two months, while the next $10 billion took over six months to leave the fund. GBTC continues to face pressure as its Bitcoin holdings have dropped to around 222,170 BTC, valued at roughly $12.8 billion.

In contrast to GBTC’s losses, the broader US spot Bitcoin ETF market remains stable, with $12.8 million in net capital flowing into these funds on Monday.
