Summary
Clients of the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) bought $103.06 million worth of Bitcoin on October 13, 2026, according to the primary source. The figure stands out because Fidelity accounted for almost all of the money flowing into US spot Bitcoin ETFs that day. The entire sector posted net inflows of $109.8 million, leaving the remaining funds to split roughly $6.7 million in net terms. The inflows arrived as Bitcoin traded above $86,000.
Flow tracking was provided by SoSoValue and Farside Investors, which monitor primary market activity, meaning the shares created and redeemed each day. Those creations matter because a spot ETF must hold the underlying asset, so cash inflows require the fund to acquire actual Bitcoin to back new shares.
October has been uneven. The sector recorded a net inflow of $102.7 million on October 1, with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) leading, and FBTC saw outflows later that same week. The primary source describes this swing pattern as typical for FBTC, which frequently moves between sizable inflows and outflows as markets shift. The concentration of a single fund capturing nearly the entire sector's net inflow can also indicate that other products recorded flat days or small outflows that offset one another.
The broader category launched in January 2024 and has gathered approximately $57 billion in cumulative net inflows, with total sector assets topping $100 billion at various points this year. Within that market, FBTC usually ranks just behind IBIT on assets and trading volume. The fund charges a 0.25% fee, placing it among the lowest-cost major Bitcoin ETFs alongside IBIT, though that fee has potentially been waived during some periods.
Daily flow data from SoSoValue and Farside Investors will continue to provide a scorecard of institutional and retail demand routed through these regulated vehicles.
