Bitcoin ETFs See Big April Outflows Despite Price Recovery
Bitcoin ETFs have faced persistent outflows throughout April, with investors pulling money from the products despite the recent price recovery, according to data from U.K.-based asset manager Farside Investors.
The outflows have been nearly consistent across the month, with all but one day in April recording outflows from the various Bitcoin ETFs. Total April outflows reached $812.3 million as of Friday, with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) leading the exodus at $393.2 million withdrawn.
The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) has also experienced large outflows, with $256.4 million leaving the fund during this period, according to Farside. The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) had $64.5 million in outflows, while the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) saw $42.3 million exit the fund.
The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC) stands as the only ETF showing positive flows for the month, adding $36.7 million during the period, according to Farside's data.
The largest single-day outflow occurred on April 8, when Bitcoin ETFs lost $326.3 million—the same day President Donald Trump implemented a 104% tariff rate on Chinese imports. This outflow was more than double the next biggest outflow day in April.
Despite the consistent ETF outflows, Bitcoin's price has shown resilience. The cryptocurrency most recently traded at around $84,150, according to CoinMarketCap data, posting a 7.8% gain over the previous seven days and a fractional gain over the past 24 hours.
April 2 stands out as the only positive day in the month's flow data, with the ETFs collectively adding $218.1 million, according to Farside. This influx of capital came just as the Trump administration announced an additional 34% tariff on Chinese imports, raising the cumulative tariff rate to 54%.
For the year to date, Bitcoin ETF flows remain positive at $215.2 million, despite the recent outflow trend. IBIT leads with $2.3 billion in net inflows for the year, while GBTC has experienced the largest outflows at $1.23 billion.
As Bitcoin ETFs experience outflows, Strategy Inc. (MSTR) continues adding to its holdings. According to a Monday Securities and Exchange Commission filing, the company purchased 3,459 Bitcoin for approximately $285.8 million between April 7 and April 13 at an average price of $82,618 per Bitcoin.
This latest acquisition brings Strategy's total Bitcoin holdings to 531,644, representing an aggregate investment of $35.9 billion at an average purchase price of $67,556 per Bitcoin.Permalink | © Copyright 2025 etf.com. All rights reserved

Waymo suspends robotaxi rides near LA protests after 5 cars are set ablaze
Waymo suspended robotaxi service in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday after five vehicles were set on fire during protests against President Donald Trump 's immigration raids in the city. Photos show Waymo cars covered in anti-ICE graffiti burning in the street, engulfed in smoke. A spokesperson for Waymo confirmed to Business Insider that five vehicles had been vandalized during the protests. The company temporarily suspended service in downtown LA and doesn't think its vehicles were intentionally targeted, the spokesperson said. Waymo is working with the Los Angeles Police Department, they added. On Sunday night, the LAPD said on X that "burning lithium-ion batteries release toxic gases." Electric vehicles often use lithium-ion batteries. The spokesperson told BI that Waymo, which Alphabet owns, operates more than 300 vehicles in LA and is continuing operations in other parts of the city. It's not the first time that Waymo vehicles have been targeted in California. Last year, a crowd in San Francisco set one of the robotaxis on fire during Lunar New Year celebrations amid a wave of distrust about driverless vehicles. The protests broke out on Friday after an immigration raid in the city. Over the weekend, Trump bypassed California Gov. Gavin Newsom 's authority and ordered 2,000 National Guard members to the LA area. Despite the dramatic images, the protests have largely been peaceful, according to multiple reports. The demonstrations have become a political lightning rod between Newsom and Trump, and the governor has announced that he's suing the administration. They may, however, serve as an olive branch between the president and Elon Musk, who had an ugly falling out last week.

Uber, Goldman Sachs and Salesforce CEOs to boost ‘Trump Accounts' for kids at White House event
WASHINGTON — An octet of CEOs will hit the White House Monday to support President Trump's plan to give $1,000 to almost every child born during his second term — by pledging to match the federal benefit for their employees' children. Under the 'Trump Accounts' program, the federal government would provide an initial $1,000 tax-deferred, low-cost account that will grow with the stock market. Children born between Jan. 1, 2025 and Jan. 1, 2029 will be eligible for the parent-controlled fund, which will allow up to $5,000 to be contributed annually. The program is a part of the president's 'Big Beautiful Bill' which is currently being debated in the Senate — and the meeting with CEOs is meant to boost public interest in the program while the bill still has votes pending. Advertisement 3 President Donald Trump walks from the Oval Office before departing on Marine One from the South Lawn of the White House, Friday, June 6, 2025, in Washington. AP Attendees at the 2 p.m. event include Dell CEO Michael Dell; Altimeter Capital CEO Brad Gerstner, a prominent advocate of giving kids some form of investment account from birth; ARM Corp CEO Rene Haas; Salesforce Co-Founder Parker Harris; ServiceNow CEO William McDermott; Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi; Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon and Robinhood CEO Vladimir Tenev. 'The creation of investment accounts for every child will compound into substantial nest eggs providing support for education, home ownership, and starting families,' Dell said in a statement, vowing that his company will 'proudly match dollar for dollar the government's seed investment into these accounts for all the children born to Dell team members.' Advertisement Trump has been keen on ensuring the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and has met with Republican members of Congress both on Capitol Hill and at the White House to push for it. 3 David M.

Getty Images for GE Some GOP lawmakers, including Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) have indicated they won't support the bill over the prospect of it adding trillions to the federal deficit. Advertisement Former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk went on a tirade against the 'pork-filled' bill last week, leading to the demise of his relationship with Trump. Republicans hold a 53-47 Senate majority, meaning only three senators can defect on the legislation before it fails. 'The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill will literally change the lives of working, middle class families across America,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement, 'by delivering the largest tax cuts in history, increasing the child tax credit, AND by creating this incredible new 'Trump Account' program, which will put the lives of young Americans on the right financial path!'

Jim Cramer sees a 'bizarre' rotation in the market — plus, Starbucks makes a move in China
Every weekday the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer holds a "Morning Meeting" livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here's a recap of Monday's key moments. 1. The stock market is starting the week relatively flat following Friday's rally due to a solid jobs report. Investors are awaiting trade news updates as American and Chinese officials gather in London . The flow of rare earth minerals out of China is a big focus of the talks. Within the stock market Monday, Jim Cramer said the action is interesting. "What I'm seeing is a kind of a very bizarre rotation. ... A lot of stocks that have been laggards like Texas Instruments are really taking off," Jim said. Meanwhile, stocks that had been certified winners are headed down. The rotation is "very daunting for people because you're buying lesser quality and selling high quality," Jim said. 2. Club name Starbucks has been on the recovering end lately, climbing nearly 7% last week and adding modest gains in Monday's session. In its latest move to navigate the competitive Chinese market, the company is cutting prices on non-coffee beverages in the country. The latest strategy is part of the coffee chain's campaign to win customers over during the summer. "It helps the story that they're doing some discounting," Jim said. It's no secret that Starbucks has had some difficulties in the region and has been looking for a strategic partner for its operations there. "I think [a partnership] would be well received by the market," said Jeff Marks, director of portfolio analysis for the Club. 3. It's a different story for portfolio name Broadcom , which closed 5% lower Friday after reporting earnings Thursday and is taking another hit Monday. Jim reminded members that on Friday he advised to hold off on buying into the stock's sell-off. "I said today's the day you buy," he said Monday. The company reported a strong quarter with AI revenue rising 46% year over year. Marks said the only real issue was the stock came into the print red hot, so it fell victim to high expectations, leading to the drop. However, the semiconductor manufacturer did see price targets raised at several firms Monday, including at Barclays, which went to $265 a share, up from $215. 4 . Stocks covered in Monday's rapid fire at the end of the video were: Warner Bros Discovery , Tesla , General Mills , and Conagra Brands . (Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long AVGO, SBUX .
