Bitcoin inflows slow as investors chase AI, Bernstein says

Bitcoin's investment inflows have significantly decelerated in 2026, according to a report by Bernstein. The research firm attributes this slowdown to a shift in investor focus towards artificial intelligence-related assets, which are currently experiencing heightened demand. Despite the reduced inflow, Bernstein maintains a positive long-term outlook for Bitcoin, citing its diversified ownership base as a supportive factor for its store-of-value thesis. This suggests a temporary reallocation of capital rather than a fundamental loss of faith in Bitcoin's potential as a digital asset.
