Coins leave a fund when people cash out their shares: the fund gives up coins to pay them. Each coin that leaves has either gained or lost against what IBIT paid for it. Realized profit is the gain locked in when a coin leaves above its cost, and realized loss is the loss locked in when it leaves below.

The Coins moved tab counts the Bitcoin that left IBIT each day, in BTC. Leaving is not always selling on the open market, so read it as coins going out of the fund rather than coins sold.

A month with more losses than profit means the coins going out, taken together, had been bought at a higher price than the day they left. It says what happened to the coins that left, not what the fund still holds: that is the What it paid page.
