A record week of ETF buying pushed Bitcoin to an eight-month high. If September closes green, it will be the first July-to-September win streak in 14 years.

What happened
Bitcoin climbed to $87,396 on 21 September, its highest price since January. The same week, US spot Bitcoin ETFs took in a record $2.39 billion. Bitcoin has since cooled to about $83,200, but it is still on track for its first July-to-September winning streak since 2012.
Bitcoin spent most of 2026 under pressure. It fell from a January high near $98,000 to below $59,000 at the end of June. Then the tide turned. July closed higher, August jumped by a quarter, and September is up again so far. Three green months in a row is rare for Bitcoin, and the last time it happened across this exact stretch was in 2012.

Big money came back through ETFs
The rally was driven by the funds that let investors buy Bitcoin through a normal brokerage account. In the week to 25 September, spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $2.39 billion, beating the previous 2026 record of $1.92 billion set in August. BlackRock's IBIT took $1.16 billion of that, Fidelity's FBTC $702 million and ARK's ARKB $295 million. The buying pushed 2026 ETF flows back into positive territory for the year.

Why the price pulled back
After the spike, Bitcoin slipped back under $85,000 as US Treasury yields rose and traders took profit ahead of key US jobs data. For the streak to hold, Bitcoin needs to close September above August's close of $78,581. At about $83,200, it has a cushion of roughly 6%.
THE ONEMINERS VIEW
Price rallies are the moment many people ask how to own more Bitcoin. Buying is one option. Mining is the other: a Bitcoin miner on cheap, fixed power produces new Bitcoin every day, whatever the chart does. A higher price also raises what each machine earns.
