Crypto funds bleeding $1.7B in record outflows, even Saylor is selling — bet against Bitcoin weakness
Institutional crypto funds just suffered their worst week of 2026, with $1.67 billion pulled out — mostly from U.S. investors. Even Michael Saylor's company, famous for hoarding bitcoin, just sold some.
Idea
The big money is heading for the exits in crypto. $1.67 billion was pulled from crypto funds last week — the largest outflow of 2026 — and this selling streak has now lasted three straight weeks. U.S. investors are leading the charge. When the funds that track bitcoin see this kind of relentless selling, it usually means more price pain ahead because those redemptions force actual bitcoin selling on the open market. Even Strategy, the company famous for being bitcoin's biggest corporate cheerleader, just sold some of its holdings. That's a striking signal.
