Open a daily spot Bitcoin ETF flow table, find the date and unit, then read the group’s Total: a positive figure means net inflows; a negative figure means net outflows. Check the individual fund columns too, because the total can be positive even while some funds have outflows.
How to check a daily Bitcoin ETF flow table
-
Open a tracker with a dated daily table, such as Farside Investors’ Bitcoin ETF Flow.

Find the trading date you want and check the unit. Farside labels its figures “US$m,” meaning U.S. dollars in millions: a displayed 118.8 represents $118.8 million.

Read the combined Total column. A positive amount is a net inflow; a negative amount is a net outflow. Farside displays outflows in parentheses.
-
Review the fund-level columns to see which ETFs contributed to the result. A positive group total does not mean every fund had inflows.
-
For a consequential reading, compare the tracker with dated issuer disclosures and filings. Check that the date, units, included funds and accounting basis are comparable.
What net inflow or outflow measures
A net flow summarizes creations and redemptions of fund shares over a trading session. When creations exceed redemptions, the net is positive; when redemptions exceed creations, it is negative. In its SEC-filed materials, iShares describes authorized participants exchanging cash or bitcoin for creation baskets and redeeming baskets for bitcoin or cash proceeds. The filing explains the basket mechanism.
This is not the ETF’s exchange trading volume or a count of every investor purchase and sale. Investors can trade existing ETF shares with one another without the fund creating or redeeming shares. The flow figure describes net fund-level creation and redemption activity.
Why AUM is not the same as flow
Assets under management (AUM) is the value of a fund’s assets at a point in time. Flow is a net amount associated with creations and redemptions over a period. AUM can rise or fall as Bitcoin’s market price changes even when creations and redemptions are flat, so subtracting two AUM snapshots does not give net flow.
Issuer holdings pages can show both a raw bitcoin quantity and a calculated market value. BlackRock notes that public holdings data may differ from the accounting book used to determine net assets. Its iShares Bitcoin Trust page is useful for dated fund and holdings information, but a holdings snapshot is not itself a net-flow table.
Read the total and the fund-level entries together
The group total is the sum across the funds included by that tracker. One fund may have an inflow while another has an outflow, so inspect the ticker columns as well as the total. Farside’s current table includes IBIT, FBTC, BITB, ARKB, BTCO, EZBC, BRRR, HODL, BTCW, MSBT, GBTC and BTC. Fund coverage can change; check the ticker list before comparing totals across trackers or dates.
Flow is a description of activity through the funds, not evidence on its own of why investors traded, whether the activity reflects long-term conviction, or where Bitcoin’s price will go next. It is not a stand-alone price prediction.
A dated example: October 6, 2026
Farside’s table showed a $118.8 million net inflow for October 6, 2026, with amounts in U.S. millions. The displayed components included $122.0 million for IBIT and $7.8 million for MSBT, offset by an $11.0 million outflow from BTC. The example is specific to that trading date, not a current reading; daily values can change and may be corrected.
For historical context, CoinGecko’s 2024 annual report reported $35.2 billion in U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF net inflows during 2024 and $106.6 billion in total AUM at year-end. Its flow chart credits Farside Investors and The Block. Those are annual historical figures, not a daily flow reading. CoinGecko’s 2024 annual crypto report provides that context.

A consolidated table is convenient for quickly seeing dated fund entries and the group total, but trackers and issuer materials serve different purposes. Farside says its table is generated automatically and disclaims liability for errors or inaccuracies. When checking a figure that matters, compare the date and update time, units, sign convention, ticker coverage, whether values are estimates or final figures, and the source’s correction policy. Then consult issuer disclosures or filings, keeping in mind that holdings values and accounting figures may differ.

Use a flow table to answer a flow question; do not infer flow from AUM changes.
