- U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted a sixth straight day of net outflows on May 22, with $105.2 million leaving the funds, flow trackers showed. - Farside Investors' table showed BlackRock's IBIT lost $68.9 million and Fidelity's FBTC lost $36.3 million, accounting for all reported May 22 withdrawals. - Farside's flow page updates daily fund data, with the next posted figures expected after the next U.S. trading session.

U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds extended a run of net withdrawals to six straight trading days, according to fund-flow tables cited in market posts on X on May 25. Farside Investors' data showed the group recorded a net outflow of $105.2 million on May 22, the latest session available on the tracker. The figures matched the claim in the X posts that the products had remained in redemption mode for six consecutive trading days. Farside's table showed the May 22 outflow came entirely from BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC. ### Which number in the X posts can be checked against a public flow table? Farside Investors listed a total net outflow of $105.2 million for May 22 on its U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF page. The same table showed six consecutive negative daily totals from May 15 through May 22, with no U.S. trading on the intervening weekend. Those daily totals were negative $290.4 million, negative $648.6 million, negative $331.1 million, negative $70.5 million, negative $100.9 million and negative $105.2 million. (farside.co.uk) The X post referenced in the briefing said U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs had extended outflows over six days. Because the Farside page shows the same six-session sequence ending on May 22, the central numeric claim in the post can be verified against that public tracker. ### Which funds accounted for the May 22 withdrawals? BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust, trading under the ticker IBIT, showed a net outflow of $68.9 million on May 22, according to Farside. (farside.co.uk) Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, ticker FBTC, showed a net outflow of $36.3 million the same day. Added together, those two funds accounted for the full $105.2 million daily total on the table. The same Farside entry showed zero flows for the other listed funds on May 22, including BITB, ARKB, BTCO, EZBC, BRRR, HODL, BTCW, MSBT, GBTC and BTC. (farside.co.uk) That means the day's net withdrawal, as reported on the tracker, was concentrated in the two largest contributors to the total. ### Does the $105.2 million figure describe six days combined? The $105.2 million figure refers to one trading day, not the whole six-day stretch, based on the Farside table. (farside.co.uk) The six-day window cited in the X thread describes the length of the outflow streak, while the table's line for May 22 gives the daily total for that session. The Block reported on May 23 that U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs had shed about $1.26 billion over the week and $1.55 billion across the six-day outflow streak that began May 15, citing SoSoValue data. (farside.co.uk) That broader figure is separate from the $105.2 million daily withdrawal shown for May 22. ### How does the six-day run fit into the recent flow picture? Farside's running table showed the six-session slide followed a positive day on May 14, when the group posted a net inflow of $131.3 million. After that, each available trading day through May 22 was negative. The largest one-day withdrawal in that span was $648.6 million on May 18, according to the same table. The Block said the week ending May 22 was the steepest weekly drawdown for U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs since late January. (theblock.co) That characterization was attributed to SoSoValue data in its May 23 report. ### Where will the next data point appear? Farside Investors says its Bitcoin ETF flow charts are updated automatically in real time and links to both a summary page and an all-data table. (farside.co.uk) The next posted figure for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF flows would appear there after the next U.S. trading session is reflected in the tracker. (theblock.co)
