A balance is not a flow.

A higher dollar balance can reflect a price change without new investor money.

  1. Price

    A quote values an asset at a particular moment.

  2. Holdings

    A balance counts assets held at a disclosed cutoff.

  3. Flow

    Net creations and redemptions describe movement during an interval.

Before you concludeA flow needs a defined session, complete universe and stated method.

This is the home of the Bitcoin ETF flow tape: completed-session totals, constituent products and rolling windows. The 29-page reference included these fields; the current validated daily dataset does not yet contain a comparable flow series.

The notebook / 01

What a flow table must say

Each line needs the product identifier, completed trading session, reporting currency, source and revision state. A market holiday is not automatically a zero-flow session. A missing product cannot quietly be excluded from a supposedly complete total.

Rolling seven- or thirty-day figures must say whether they use calendar days or trading sessions, and whether they sum net creations/redemptions, cash estimates or another measure.

Why holdings do not answer it

IBIT publishes product and holdings information with field-specific dates and valuation notes. Our accepted daily balance is useful context, but a change in the dollar value of holdings can reflect a price move. Even coin-count changes require the fund’s accounting context before being called investor cash flows.

Saved observations are dated records, not continuously live values. Software releases retain their original publication dates. Holdings do not establish fund flows; rates and market access require separate current checks.

  • Source S03, Farside, is an attributed aggregator, with sums labeled desk calculations in the PDF. These totals have not been independently recalculated here.
  • October 2 has no populated fund figures in the retrieved reference table: its displayed 0.0 is not a confirmed zero-flow day.
  • Window sums cover completed trading sessions inside the stated calendar dates. Holdings changes are not investor flows.

  • These ten values are the rounded labels printed on the reference bar chart, not full-precision source-series observations. They must not be summed to reconstruct the more precise window totals.
  • The October 1 chart label is rounded to 103 while the headline total is +102.7 million. Both are preserved with their original precision.
  • S03 is the PDF source. No October 2 zero is added.
