A room can gain money while people leave. One large suitcase can outweigh several small ones.

For September 28 to October 2, 2026, the captured Bitcoin fund table added to +$241.1 million: IBIT +$450.2 million, the other eleven funds combined -$209.1 million. Four funds were positive, five negative, three zero. These are calculations from Farside, not an independent issuer audit.

The sum weights dollars. The count weights funds. Neither counts unique investors. A thousand people adding one dollar and one person adding a thousand dollars produce the same total; these are imaginary examples, not descriptions of the week.

Subtracting IBIT gives the recorded remainder, not a simulation of a market without IBIT. To ask about broad participation, name the measure: funds, distinct holders, or flow relative to assets. Each needs its own denominator.

Later incomplete sessions are excluded; the provider may revise the table. No investor-level record or return forecast is supplied.
