Bitcoin price steadies near $90K after ETF outflows; Coinbase, Strategy shares mixed premarket
NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 06:30 (EST) — Premarket Bitcoin steadied near $90,000 on Friday, edging higher in early U.S. trade, while crypto-linked stocks split in the premarket. Coinbase Global dipped 0.1% and Strategy rose 3.2%, with miners Marathon Digital up 3.7% and Riot Platforms down about 1%. The key near-term driver is still flows, not slogans. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs — funds that hold bitcoin and trade like stocks — saw net outflows of $486.1 million on Jan. 7 and $398.8 million on Jan. 8, led by BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC, Farside Investors data showed.
