What it shows
A spot Bitcoin ETF holds real bitcoin and issues shares that trade on a US stock exchange. When investors buy more shares than they sell, the fund creates new shares and buys bitcoin. This is a net inflow. When selling dominates, shares are redeemed and the fund sells bitcoin. This is a net outflow. This page shows the total net flow of all US spot Bitcoin ETFs for each trading day. A fund table splits that total by issuer, such as IBIT, FBTC and GBTC. The page also shows the net assets of each fund and the history of the total.

How to read it
Start with the daily total. Then open the fund table to see which issuers make up that total. One issuer can have large inflows while an older fund has outflows, and the total shows only the difference. Next, read the history chart to see whether the latest day fits the recent sequence. Compare a flow with the net assets of the fund to judge its relative size. Use the views from one month to the full range to change the window. Switch between daily, weekly and monthly sums when daily values are noisy.
- Read the latest daily net flow and note its reporting date.
- Open the fund table and compare the issuers that make up the total.
- Check the history chart to see how the latest day fits the recent days.
What to keep in mind
US funds report after the market closes, so the table shows finished trading days and not live demand. A missing report is not a zero flow. The total can hide offsetting moves between funds. A flow counts the creation and redemption of shares. It does not explain why investors acted. ETF flows are one input beside spot, derivatives and on-chain data. They do not predict price.
A missing value is not zero. Check the source and time under each data block before you compare numbers.

Questions
What does a Bitcoin ETF outflow mean?
An outflow means that, on that trading day, more shares were redeemed than created. To pay investors, the fund sells bitcoin. The figure shows the net direction of share activity. It does not show why holders sold or what price will do next.
Which funds are in the Bitcoin ETF table?
The table lists US-listed spot Bitcoin funds by ticker, such as IBIT, FBTC and GBTC, with the issuer, the daily flow and the net assets. Futures-based funds are left out of the provider breakdown. The set of funds can change when issuers add or close products, so read the table on the page for the current list.
How often are Bitcoin ETF flows updated?
US spot ETFs report once per trading day, after the market closes. The page updates its daily figures from these reports. Weekends and US market holidays have no new trading day, so no new flow appears. A missing value for a day means the data is not reported yet. It does not mean zero.
