Summary
Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds recorded net outflows of 261.4 million USD on October 14, 2026, according to Coinpaper, which cited Farside Investors data. The withdrawal was followed by 5.1 million USD in net inflows on October 15, 2026, a reversal that left the two daily readings sharply divergent. Spot ETF flow figures measure net creations and redemptions in the funds rather than every trade in their shares, so they describe fund-level capital movement for each dated session.
Separately, Strategy announced the purchase of 250 BTC on October 12, 2026. According to Strategy, the acquisition was funded with 21.0 million USD from net proceeds of MSTR stock sales and 0.5 million USD from cash. The transaction is a treasury purchase by a named holder and is distinct from the daily ETF flow data.

Market capitalization stood at 1.66 trillion USD, ranking Bitcoin first among cryptocurrencies, with 24-hour volume of 21.28 billion USD and circulating supply of 20.10 million BTC.
