Fact Check
The figure of $787 million in total inflows is plausible for a single day, but none of the provided sources explicitly confirms that specific amount. The real-time ETF flow trackers referenced are credible and would typically provide such a breakdown, yet the summaries do not cite $787 million. Other cited reports mention different totals for other periods (e.g., about $507 million on one day, and over $1 billion across three sessions), suggesting variability by date rather than a contradiction. The attribution to BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) as the primary contributor is generally consistent with market patterns reported across trackers and news coverage. However, without a date or a direct citation showing $787 million, there is not enough evidence here to verify the exact figure, even though the IBIT-led characterization is likely accurate.
Summary

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of $787 million between February 23 and 27, with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) attracting $503 million of the total. Grayscale’s GBTC added $89.4 million, contributing to a total ETF AUM of $83.4 billion and a market share of 6.36%.
