Bitcoin Inflows Slow to $12B in 2026 vs $60B in 2025 as Retail Shifts to AI Assets: Bernstein

BTC-2.04%
According to a Bernstein research report cited by CoinDesk, Bitcoin treasury companies and ETFs attracted approximately $12 billion in inflows during 2026, down significantly from $60 billion in 2025. The research attributed the slowdown not to quantum computing concerns but to retail capital migrating toward AI-related assets. Bernstein noted that while ETF inflows have shown modest resilience with $2.6 billion in net outflows from a $75 billion asset base, new demand has been primarily driven by corporate buyers such as MicroStrategy. The analyst emphasized that Bitcoin's investor base has shifted from retail-dominated to a more diversified structure including ETFs, corporate treasuries, wealth management platforms, pension funds, and sovereign wealth investors, creating healthier market dynamics.
