95% of Bitcoin ETF investors refuse to sell amid price correction

Despite a sharp 25% decline in Bitcoin’s price since the beginning of 2025, an overwhelming 95% of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF investors have held onto their positions, demonstrating remarkable resilience.
Bitcoin ETF assets under management (AUM) currently stand at $115 billion, with only minor outflows recorded in recent weeks, according to Coingape.
Bitcoin ETF Investors Show Long-Term Confidence
Data from Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart reveals that inflows into Bitcoin ETFs have slightly declined to $35 billion from a peak of $40 billion. However, the vast majority of funds remain intact, highlighting strong confidence among institutional and retail investors alike.
Notably, institutional players, including Goldman Sachs, maintain significant Bitcoin ETF holdings, with the bank’s exposure surpassing $1.5 billion. While nearly $5 billion has flowed out of Bitcoin ETFs since mid-February, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) continues to attract net inflows, recording $45.7 million in new investments on March 13 alone.
Bitcoin Holders Continue to Accumulate
Despite selling pressure amid macroeconomic uncertainty, including inflation concerns and geopolitical tensions, long-term Bitcoin holders are accumulating more BTC. On-chain data analyst Ali Martinez reports that over 131,000 BTC have been added to wallets in the past month, signaling steady demand from dedicated investors.
Although Bitcoin briefly surged above $84,000 following the latest U.S. inflation report, it failed to hold those gains and is currently trading at $81,953. Analysts caution that while the market remains volatile, it is too early to call the current downturn a bear market.
For now, Bitcoin ETF investors appear undeterred, reaffirming their commitment to the digital asset despite ongoing price swings.
Meanwhile, Franklin Templeton recently has joined the growing list of asset managers seeking approval for an XRP ETF, alongside Bitwise, 21Shares, Canary Capital, Grayscale, and WisdomTree.
