Summary
Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund attracted USD 236.7 million in net inflows on November 4, 2026, according to data from Farside Investors, helping US spot Bitcoin ETFs return to positive territory after three consecutive sessions of withdrawals. Total US spot Bitcoin ETF inflows reached USD 74.6 million for the day, despite USD 201.2 million in withdrawals from BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). FBTC recorded the largest net inflow among the funds tracked by Farside that day. Other funds also received money, including Bitwise's BITB with USD 15.2 million, ARK Invest's ARKB with USD 19.9 million, and Invesco's BTCO with USD 4 million.
The November 4 recovery ended a run of outflows that included USD 643.2 million on October 30, USD 398.6 million on November 2, and USD 115.6 million on November 3, although the latest gain did not offset those withdrawals. Demand for FBTC has varied sharply: the fund lost USD 201 million on October 30 before recording inflows of USD 6.7 million and USD 6.8 million on November 2 and 3, respectively. The fund's daily inflows also exceeded USD 103.1 million on October 13 and USD 212.7 million on October 21. Farside's data places FBTC's cumulative net inflows at approximately USD 10.43 billion since launch.
The article notes that FBTC holds Bitcoin to track its market price rather than using futures contracts, and charges an annual fee of 0.25%. Fidelity Digital Assets provides custody, and shares trade on the Cboe BZX Exchange. Per the fund's SEC prospectus, authorized participants can create or redeem shares using either Bitcoin or cash, so subscriptions support Bitcoin demand, but daily flow figures do not identify individual purchases. The reported USD 236.7 million represents net money entering FBTC rather than a confirmed standalone Bitcoin trade by Fidelity.
Separately, Fidelity Digital Assets reported that preferred-stock financing helped Bitcoin treasury firms accumulate 135,979 BTC as of October 5, 2026, more than 0.5% of Bitcoin's fixed 21 million supply. That route differs from spot ETFs because preferred-stock investors hold securities issued by businesses, and further purchases depend on companies raising new capital and meeting payment commitments.
