Where the reports disagree

1Total US spot Bitcoin ETF outflow figure

US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded 13 consecutive sessions of net outflows in May, the longest stretch since the funds were introduced in January 2024. Total net outflows hit roughly $4.4 billion, with the largest single fund, BlackRock's IBIT, accounting for $3.3 billion of the withdrawals.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs hemorrhaged $6.4 billion over a 30-day stretch, including a single-day net withdrawal of $696.3 million on the session Bitcoin breached that psychologically painful $60K floor.

What would settle it: Consolidated daily flow data from the individual ETF issuers or a single aggregator's published dataset covering the exact same date range.

2Year-to-date ETF outflow figure cited alongside the 13-day outflow streak

What would settle it: A dated, cumulative ETF flow ledger from the issuers or a regulator-filed flow disclosure covering the same 13-day and 30-day windows.

What to make of it

Treat the general direction of the story—Bitcoin's drop below $60,000 alongside sustained ETF outflows and an AI-stock rotation—as established, but do not cite a specific total outflow number ($4.4B, $6.4B, or $4.6B) as settled until the outlets' figures are reconciled against issuer-level flow data.
