Key Takeaways
  • • US spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $201 million on November 9, 2026, their third consecutive outflow session, with BlackRock's IBIT alone shedding $213.2 million.
  • • Spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $1.282 billion in the November 2–6 trading week, pushing 2026 year-to-date net flows into a deficit of roughly $914 million.
  • • Total US spot Bitcoin ETF net assets stand at $94.435 billion, down from roughly $99 billion in early November, with cumulative net inflows since January 2024 at $55.498 billion.
  • • Bitcoin fell to $73,124 after a hotter-than-expected October CPI print, below Strategy's $75,451 average cost basis; reclaiming that level is cited as a path toward an $80,000 upside target.
  • • Futures pricing after the CPI showed 85% odds of a 25bp Fed hike and 15% odds of a 50bp hike at the December 9 FOMC, lifting Treasury yields and competing with Bitcoin for allocator capital.
Summary
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $201 million on Monday, November 9, 2026, the third straight session of redemptions. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) lost $213.2 million on its own, more than the category's total net outflow. ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) lost $9.9 million, while Morgan Stanley's MSBT was the only fund with inflows, adding $22.06 million. Fidelity's FBTC, Bitwise's BITB and Grayscale's GBTC recorded zero net flows that day, according to the data cited.

The category has had a difficult stretch. Spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $1.282 billion during the November 2–6 trading week, and net outflows since the start of November reached $1.483 billion across six sessions with only one positive day. Those redemptions moved 2026 year-to-date net flows from a small surplus to a deficit of roughly $914 million. Total net assets stand at $94.435 billion, equal to 6.27% of Bitcoin's total market value, versus nearly $99 billion in early November.

IBIT has accounted for most of the selling. It lost $405.3 million on November 2, $95 million on November 3, $201 million on November 4 (a day the rest of the category was positive, with $74.6 million of net inflows), and $403 million on November 6. Across those five sessions IBIT lost $1.317 billion. Smaller issuers, including Bitwise's BITB, which took in $21.9 million in the first two sessions of November while IBIT lost $500.3 million, have partly offset the outflows, but the net effect remains negative. Since rotation between funds is neutral for total holdings, the net redemptions indicate the ETF channel has been a source of Bitcoin supply this month.

Macro conditions weighed on the category. The October CPI rose 0.4% month over month against a 0.3% forecast, and core CPI rose 0.3% against 0.2%. Following the release, futures priced 85% odds of a 25bp hike and 15% odds of a 50bp hike at the December 9 FOMC. The 2-year Treasury yield rose 19 basis points to 4.736%, the 10-year traded at 4.99% and the 30-year at 5.29%. The S&P 500 fell 0.71% and the Nasdaq dropped 0.87%, with the Nasdaq 100 down 6.36% on November 5, a session that coincided with $430 million of Bitcoin ETF outflows.

Bitcoin traded at $73,124 after the CPI release, about 3.1% below the $75,451 average cost basis of Strategy, which held 849,327 BTC as of November 1 according to company disclosures. The asset is roughly 42% below its cycle high above $126,000 reached in October 2025. Upcoming catalysts include Friday's Producer Price Index, Fed minutes on November 18 and the November CPI on December 10, the day after the FOMC decision.
