Abstract: It is conjectured that the full (spacetime) Bartnik mass of a surface $Sigma$ is realised as the ADM mass of some stationary asymptotically flat manifold with boundary data prescribed by $Sigma$. Assuming this holds true for a 1-parameter family of surfaces $Sigm{a}_t$ evolving in an initial data set {with the dominant energy condition}, we compute an expression for the derivative of the Bartnik mass along these surfaces. An immediate consequence of this formula is that the Bartnik mass of $Sigm{a}_t$ is monotone non-decreasing whenever $Sigm{a}_t$ flows outward. It is our pleasure to dedicate this paper to Robert Bartnik on the occasion of his $60$th birthday.
