Bitcoin (BTC) spot ETFs, funds designed to hold the underlying asset, recorded 261.4 million USD in net outflows on October 14, 2026. Coinpaper reported the daily figure from Farside Investors data and said the same products recorded 5.1 million USD of net inflows on October 15, 2026. The Bitcoin price stands at 82,775.10 USD as of October 16, 2026, up 1.30 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 15, 2026.

Bitcoin ETFs reverse course with 5.1 million USD

The October 15 inflow followed a larger withdrawal one day earlier, leaving the two daily readings sharply different. The October 14 outflow was 261.4 million USD, while the October 15 inflow was 5.1 million USD, according to Coinpaper. Spot ETF flow data measure net creations and redemptions in the funds rather than every trade in their shares. The figures therefore describe fund-level capital movement for each dated session.

Strategy reported 250 BTC bought on October 12

A separate holder action came from Strategy, which announced the purchase of 250 BTC on October 12, 2026. The company said the purchase used 21.0 million USD from net proceeds of MSTR stock sales and 0.5 million USD from cash, according to Strategy. The transaction is a treasury purchase by a named holder and is separate from the daily ETF flow figures. On October 1, 2026, Citigroup raised its 12-month Bitcoin assessment to 113,000 USD from 82,000 USD, according to Fortune.
