Last Updated: August 5, 2026

Bitcoin is trading at $64,086.88 as of August 5, 2026, up 0.84% over the past 24 hours, holding steady as strong spot ETF inflows and easing Middle East tensions help offset lingering concerns from the Coldcard hardware wallet exploit and elevated exchange inflows.

Bitcoin Price Today

BTC is holding firm above $64,000, supported by a strong day of ETF inflows and improving macro sentiment tied to progress on the Iran ceasefire and Strait of Hormuz reopening.

Bitcoin ETF News Today

Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a strong day of inflows on August 4, pulling in more than $170 million, with BlackRock’s IBIT contributing $111.43 million of that total. The figure is notable given it nearly matches the entire month of July’s net inflows in a single session, suggesting institutional demand has reasserted itself after last week’s choppier flow data. Separately, Italian bank Intesa Sanpaolo significantly reduced its Bitcoin ETF position while tripling its holdings in a staked Ethereum ETF, an interesting signal of shifting institutional allocation preferences.

Why Is Bitcoin Up Today?

Today’s gain reflects a combination of strong institutional ETF demand and improving geopolitical sentiment, with reports of US-Qatar progress toward restoring the Iran ceasefire and reopening the Strait of Hormuz easing a key source of macro risk. That positive backdrop is outweighing lingering concerns about the roughly 32,000 BTC that have moved onto exchanges following the Coldcard exploit, a flow some analysts watch as a potential precursor to selling pressure.

What This Means for the Days Ahead

The Senate’s summer recess, beginning around August 7-8, is expected to close the CLARITY Act’s near-term legislative window, with prediction-market odds of 2026 passage now below 30% and industry watchers increasingly eyeing a brief September return session as the more realistic path. Continued ETF inflow strength and further progress on Middle East de-escalation remain the clearest near-term catalysts for Bitcoin heading into next week.
